I get it can happen, I am jsut saying this format clearly increases the overall talent of each player involved. Whether they actually "play for their country" or just dont care remains to be seen. I am actually excited to see the U23 team though

I am, too. I'd rather that be in an All-Star game format, though.

Absolute must game tomorrow. You simply cannot lose games to teams like Edmonton if you want to make the playoffs.

I thought they are all must win games?

My child.

I would assume there's a 5% chance Ghost is left off when the final roster comes out. Though I would've named him over Ryan Murray for one of the first 4 d spots without hesitation. Seriously though...Ryan Murray over Hamilton, Ghost, and Trouba? Strange.

But Coots was named early -- they could've just waited until full roster, but he made the first choices. My child.

I guess we're supposed to be pulling for the Rangers against the Pens tomorrow night, huh?

*barf*

Those jerseys are (frank)ing horrendous. I can't tell if the logic looks like demonic verse or the letter A doing a goofy wave. The color scheme too is just awful.

Not sure if this has been discussed but Schultz to the PENS has me nervous. He could rebound in a big way. They bought so low on him as well.


If it wasn't for the emergence of Ghost I would be posting that I think the Flyers missed a golden opportunity. What's the general concensus?

No Giroux for Team Canada (yet)

I kinda like em. Nothing is as bad as our St Patrick's day jerseys people apparently buy.

Hope the "world cup" crashes and burns.

Piece of poop, absolute slap in the face of international hockey. NHL can choke on its advertising and burn to the ground.

Those are better. And while Team North America is at it, they can wear Cooperalls too
