Rumor today on Canadian TV has inside source saying Yandle didn't make team.. Not sure I understand this on the big ice where skating is so key. Also rumored that Bobby Ryan isn't on team???

 

[awfulwaffle]

Use spoiler tags jamieh! If you are right, that is a tragedy and I'm rooting for team jamaica.

 

[Howler Scores]

F Brown.

 

[Swat Ultra]

Really no yandle what a ****ing joke

 

[Howler Scores]

Terrible snub for Yandle. Miller better get hot again. Team looks weak.

 

[Howler Scores]

"@Real_ESPNLeBrun: Team USA has been announced here after the game. Easily the 2 omissions: Keith Yandle and Bobby Ryan"

"@TSNBobMcKenzie: Bobby Ryan, Kyle Okposo, Keith Yandle, Jack Johnson, Ben Bishop, Cory Schneider amongst notables not making Team USA."

"@RichNairn9: Yandle also ranks T-2nd w/ most assists (21) among all NHL US born Dmen & T-2nd w/ 14 PP points among all US Dmen. @usahockey"

 

[Mossy]

What the flying f.... No Yandle???? That is a joke

 

[Plub]

No Ryan or Yandle? What the ****?

Gotta make room for Justin Faulk

 

[Atrkl]

Awful

 

[avco]

Don't know which was the worse decision:

Not picking Yandle or the selection of Wheeler.

 

[ClassLessCoyote]

Cam Fowler and Blake Wheeler get on the team? YUCK!

Yandle should be on there along with Bobby Ryan.

#freeyandle

 

[Swat Ultra]

Fowler, orpik, faulk and martin over yandle

 

[Howler Scores]

Well no reason to be up early for those games and one less guy that could get injured. ...searching for positives here.

 

[SweYote]

Wow. Can't believe Yandle was left out, especially for a big ice tournament. I know he's not really competing with Yandle, but Brooks Orpik being on the roster is freaking funny.

 

[sepHF]

Fowler, Faulk and Shattenkirk instead of Yandle blows my mind.

 

[MIGs Dog]

Is it treason if I root for Sweden?

 

[awfulwaffle]

Go team jamaica!

 

[Howler Scores]

"@DebPlacey: If I'm Keith Yandle I'd say no thanks ..when they come to me in 2 weeks when Paul Martin is still not even skating #Coyotes"

Go Jamaica

Most media peeps agree on the snub so thats good...best to know we didn't go insane.

 

[Summer Rose]

Go Sweden.

I'm 1/8 Norwegian.

Getting arrested for high treason at dawn tomorrow.

 

[Jamieh]

Pens weakness is defense and yet 2 of their D are selected???

 

[SweYote]

Is it treason if I root for Sweden?

No it's okay.

 

[Grimes]

Well time for Yands to get pissed and win the Norris instead. Should be interesting to see how he plays in the next couple of weeks.
