I doubt anyone over the age of 26 is coming at this point- outside of Kane this team is just young...I think it comes down to Connor and Guentzel right now..God only knows but I am sure we would have heard about Pavelski, he did a ton of interviews and said nothing - so my gut tells me if Jets lose it is on Connor to come as Wheeler likely says he is tired as an older player..
trust me, I will take Wheeler in a freaking heartbeat here.....just keeping hopes more realistic to a younger guy coming...Wheeler might like the idea to come over though. He played in Munich during the lockout 2012/13. No matter who comes, it'll be an awesome addition.
that would be correct as we just jumped ahead of Finland, so if we beat them we are #1 seed....just no more OT wins, need 3 points for regulation wins..So I think we still are first if we win out no matter what right?
you would think he was told this, that he would get some playing time until the roster is filled out...I would like to see him stick, but unless they plan on sitting Jensen or Pionk, I think he is the odd man out...doubt they sit Oesterle in favor of Hughes since he and Murphy play together at times...who knows, just excited to get a legit #1 dman here for this team. Have to me favorites for a medal now.
Pionk has played well. He shouldn't be sitting. Murphy has sucked, looks like a plug. I'd probably sit Jensen first, but Blashill is the coach, so I doubt he sits his own player.
Czech Republic just got the mother load - damn!!! Pasta and Krejci
I thought Murphy has been solid, he has saved this teams ass more times than I can count breaking up odd man rushes...he has done well at the point, hitting a number of posts but doing well getting shots through, he has thrown some of the biggest hits in the tournament as well..not sure what you are seeing with Murphy as I only recall 2 gaffes he had this tournament so far..outside of that he has been a most pleasant surprise IMO...Reid and Ferraro have called him Team USA's best defensemen so far, and I absolutely agree.
he had a bad year this year, no doubt for the Hawks. but he has looked solid this tournament, and everyone I have heard from or talked to has agreed...he has been steady and solid in his own end and has contributed some offense as well. he shouldn't be a top pair guy here, he simply was by default...but he is a solid 2nd pair dman right now with McAvoy here, he has done well is all I am saying!I didn't watch today, but the first few games I haven't like Murphy's play. Maybe I don't want him play normally, and thats his usual play. I don't know exactly, but thats not a player I want getting big minutes for this team.

Hmmm so Preds are out. Not sure what forwards we might want from them.
Still with my friend here and hoping for Guentzel
I am confused...he has been on the roster the whole time right??? I hope this doesn't take that 1 spot that we had left

figured that was the case, but it is USA Hockey so I was already thinking negative that nobody else is coming, but here comes Charlie Lindgren to never see the ice!!!! hahahaHe wasn't on the official roster but he has been in Denmark with the team since the start of the tournament. USAH hadn't registered him. He might dress instead of Kinkaid today.
We still have 1 forward spot as goalies are capped at 3 anyways.
