You heard correctly.

 

[donutz0r]

Not to hijack the thread but while we're at it, who all were selected? I missed it

 

[BlazingRoy]

clearly they want to lose =P

 

[KPower]

He didn't make it .....unreal

 

[Skip2myBordyloo]

Big omission.

 

[tycobb]

USA won't medal. LOL at the D they picked unless Suter - McD plays 40 mins a game.

 

[PocketNines]

Yandle either. Wow.

 

[Tom Brady]

That's crazy, he's better than most of the forwards they've selected.

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie 4m
Bobby Ryan, Kyle Okposo, Keith Yandle, Jack Johnson, Ben Bishop, Cory Schneider amongst notables not making Team USA.

 

[Mossy]

No Yandle??? His speed and play making ability on the larger ice surface should of made him one of the two top pairings.

 

[Note Worthy]

Yeah, this makes no sense. I'm pretty shocked.

 

[Six Assets]

crazy

There is nothing wrong with the D they took. Yandle should go but not as drastic as you made it.

 

[PocketNines]

Guess Orpik is better than Yandle due to lolz

 

[Battle Hymns]

yandle's omission is even more perplexing. he's their best dman after Suter.

 

[donutz0r]

Wow. I figured Yandle was a given. Weird selections

 

[Oberyn]

I'm still laughing that Orpik and Brown are on the roster. EJ, Ryan, and Yandle should all have been named.

 

[JinzoBlaze]

What a joke. I honestly hope they don't medal due to lack of offensive production. Yandle not on the team is almost as bad.

Go not USA

 

[Crease]

As a Rangers fan, I'm surprised Stepan was selected. Figured he played his way off the team with his lackluster first half.

Apparently that's how USA's roster came to be.

Yandle and Buff >> Fowler and Faulk

 

[Jot]

When are they going to announce team Canada's roster?

 

[Sensin5]

Lol USA Selection Committee.
I guess Orpik's speed will be useful on the big ice. Lol again.

Fixed

 

[AGMongoose]

No, I think that is McDonagh. But that being said Yandle should have made this team.
