OT: USA Olympic Camp Invitees Announced

[Minny Shinny]

In an interview on Minneapolis/St. Paul's KFAN, Wild Forward Zach Parise said that he's received an invite to the Olympic summer camp....not that the news should come as a surprise.

@Russostrib: Big scoop from Zach Parise: He got a text from USA Hockey that he's been invited to Olympic summer camp. #shocker #mnwild

Russo also reported that the announcement of invitees will be announced later today.

Fingers crossed that Miller, Kesler and Callahan don't get invited.

 

[Trap Jesus]

Massively outside chance for Krug, I guess.

 

[Trap Jesus]

Parise-Kesler-Kane
Ryan-Stepan-Kessel
Brown-Backes-Oshie
Pacioretty-Pavelski-Callahan
Stastny

Suter-McDonagh
Yandle-Shattenkirk
Martin-Faulk
J. Johnson

Quick
Howard
Schneider

There are a lot of quality defensemen to consider and there will be a lot of tough decisions. I think the forwards are fairly easy to sort out for the most part.

 

[Shaun]

I want to see if Thomas actually gets an invite.

I Smell Gold!

 

[Dellstrom]

Knight should get the 3rd line RW spot.

Even Callahan? Nothing wrong with him

Knight should get the 3rd line RW spot.

Tim Thomas is better than half the goalies invited.

and heres the list..

Incoming Thomas fanboys surprised he didn't get an invite.

I see the US team finishing 3rd or 4th.

 

[BigGoalBrad]

USA team will need its best forwards to put up points. Parise, Kesler, Kane, Kessel, Ryan should be most of the top 2 lines if those guys play well we can win Gold. Especially Kesler and Parise.

Our D and goalies are solid.

Not a Thomas fan boy but other than Quick none of the goalies are anything special. Gibson is still young and might be good someday but Anderson and Miller are trash.

Quick is a lock to play all minutes anyway.

Trash?

Oh dammit you broke the hyperbole machine. BROKE IT.

This.

Wouldn't have hated Timmy getting a shot in camp, but barring injury Quick will play all the minutes anyway.

I think Timmy is done..I love they guy and everything, but he threw in the towel and did not give a crap in the 2012 playoffs...the old Tim would have freaked out after being interfered with / scored on in OT of game 7 versus the Caps, but he had his cup by then.

I just fixed the hyperbole machine! Like 2 minutes ago!

And yet the evidence supports my post.

If this wasn't the Bruins thread I'd have no doubt you meant to put this n the great Jared Knight he's the real Yeti!

I always wished the B's would go after Stastny.

Team USA looking pretty good. I'm sure they'll get underrated again. Charlie Coyle or Alex Galchenyuk should be on the radar.

And yet the evidence supports my post.

I am going to regret this, but....

What evidence?

 

[kytem2]

Just skate off Tim, no worries.

 

[EverettMike]

Hmm, yeah, pretty irrefutable.

 

[kytem2]

Just my opinion...no offense, but more evidence that Thomas did not care is that he did not play this season.
