Thank you Elon!
Just to point this out;
as the OP, I made this thread not because I felt Burke picked the wrong team, I agree with 95% of this team with the exception of Drury.
I do not have a problem with Komisarek or Callahan either. I just couldn't remember the last time the US picked a team that didn't involve more top 20 scorers. In no way am I criticizing this team, I am just pointing out a fact.
They have taken the majority of their top scorers with the exception of Connolly and Okposo. The only guys that could make a serious case to be on this team from the top 20 are Connolly, Okposo, and Umberger imo.
I also stated that if the US fails, you darn well know that if it is due to a lack of scoring, there will be those that will say you should have picked Connolly or Okposo, etc..
I think this team will win a medal, I have said that many times already, and I also think it is a good thing that we finally are starting to produce more and more top NHLers to compete for these spots.
