WC: USA Roster

[Xokkeu]

First things first don’t have an typical team USA off night tonight.

 

[SK94]

 

[Kevin Musto]

DCat and Kane!!!

 

[Xokkeu]

Don't worry. If you see that Butcher had 3 points, it's usually pretty safe to assume they were all assists.

Please continue

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Who's this Brian Gibbons guy? no vision no hockey sense, not all that fast .. why not Milano there?

4th line player with the Devils who was a PK-killing dynamo who could score a shorty before you can even blink......then he got hurt and wasn't the same the rest of the Devils season.

 

[Xokkeu]

There’s no excuse to lose a game between now and may 15 vs Finland

 

[SanDogBrewin]

US have definitely worked on getting forwards in the high slot and down low for redirecting pucks. Atkinson is having a heck of a tourney so far. Kreider has been great as well.

Kane and Gaudreau split up today. There skating and passing has been phenomenal. They come across the blueline and opposing defenses give them a ton of respect backing off. Yah i’d like to see Milanoat at some point.

 

[glenwo2]

Butcher is quietly going about his business and having a strong game in this tourney thus far.

Kinkaid has been solid(with some big saves against Canada and an OUTSTANDING 4-0 Shutout against Denmark).

 

[Irishguy42]

Kreider-Larkin-Atkinson seems like the jackpot. We'll see how they do against real competition though

 

[AmericanDream]

they showed Sonny sitting on the bench during a line change, and honestly he looked like someone told him his grandpa died...I almost cried just looking at him!! Why the hell bring him and not play him, come on Blashill don't piss off the guys that actually want to come here, you can f***ing put him in over Thompson/Gibbons every other shift..

#FREESONNY!!!!

pretty much this. we have the chance to finish #1 here, especially if Canada beats Finland, and we win out up to the Finland game...we need the top seed here, don't blow it boys...hopefully some potential reinforcements will see this and fly on over once they get bounced.

 

[AmericanDream]

Ryan Donato come on down.....unless a massive Lightning collapse happens, Donato seems like a 100% shoe in for this team, and f*** yeah bring him here! Sucks Krug just got hurt, would love those 2 to be the guys we add. Doubt McAvoy comes, he had some injuries all year.

come on Caps, we will take Jake the snake Guentzel too!!

F the defense, lol...just bring in Guentzel and Donato and lets win 8-6 every game!!

Donato has final exams in a week or so.

Hopefully they’d let him proctor them

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Craig Smith has come to the WHC before. Having another vet would be great.

 

[Xokkeu]

Craig smith was on pace to be the new jack Johnson I felt like until Nashville got good and never missed the playoffs.

He was a monster in 2013

 

[Rabid Ranger]

I'd take Smith or even Bonino. I'd take Labanc or Braun if San Jose gets the boot (Pavelski would be ideal).

Pavelski would be awesome. I prefer a Carlson type on D. But that is wishful thinking. Charlie Mac would be great but as mentioned he had a knee injury this season.

How has Quinn Hughes been? Is he putting up numbers?

I only saw the Denmark game but he was Trying a lot of shit that I’m sure nhl coaches will bench him for the rest of his life for lol. Like 360s in the slot and stuff but I love him

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Hughes has held his own, which is more than you can say about guys like Jensen and Murphy. We still need some improvements on the back-end. Adding McAvoy would be huge for this team.

 

[Ezekial]

What did Jensen do wrong this tournament?

 

[glenwo2]

What did Jensen do wrong this tournament?

Maybe because his name is Jensen and no one has ever heard of him?

 

[Ezekial]

Maybe because his name is Jensen and no one has ever heard of him?

Maybe he was confusing him with one of the other Nick Jensens on Denmark, but he had a goal and an assist yesterday and hasn't been bad defensively from what I can tell. I hadn't seen all of either game, though, about half of each.

He's played great.
