I'm having a real difficult time trying not to respond to this.

I am just being real, you guys keep asking the question about why he isn't on the team and you hating hearing the answer

somebody on the team now could get hurt before they go, I wouldn't lose all hope.

I think Bobby Ryan burned his bridge today

Serious question (Not being a dack but is Callahan still hurt?)

Callahan was guaranteed a spot on the team because he was on the leadership committee, and he may return to lineup tomorrow

so Cam Talbot has the best save % in the league...

I noticed that too

My buddy Cran wanted him gone to name one. There were a few more as well. Quite a few more actually.

I said trade the entire team, so yes Stepan is on the team, do Isles fans save all comments in a folder for safe keeping? I have said and will say that Stepan will not be elite unless he adds some muscle, he loses way too many battles but his skill and hockey IQ are in line with #1 Centers, right now with this team some of us are onboard for a total overhaul, starting with Sather, we realize that this team has taken a major step backwards and you need some top 5 type talent eventually, BTW who will the Isles add to that list this year?

Clearly got snubbed.

Should be Captain

I could careless about last season. I want USA to ice the best team this year. And they are not.

How do you know that, regardless of whether Okposo is on this team the top 9 was not left without key players, you Isles fans are so pathetic with the "Okposo got snubbed, USA won't medal" seriously Okposo doesn't effect this team in one way or the other and Stepan is going to be an extra forward at Center

Isles fans refuse to understand the selection process, they want to base it on play from October and ignore the 4 goals Okposo scored last season when the selection process was in full swing, with their logic Canada will wait until January is over and look at the stat leaders

I don't understand their Okposo argument for the simple reason that Bobby Ryan was left off. And I think any Isles fan that TRULY wants USA to win, would have put Ryan on before Okposo. It is clear they feel Kessel, Parise, JVR, and Kane are their scoring wingers and that's it. After that they wanted different guys. I disagree with it but that's what they wanted.

As Travis stated in his blog how many (frank)ing PKers does team USA need? You have Kessler, Backes, Cally, Brown, Step, Parise I am sure can kill penalties. Seems like overkill on that front.

In a tournament like this I have a top 9, not a top 6. 3 Scoring lines, and 1 grinding defensive first line. I don't understand team USAs 4th line at all.

At the end of the day....this team will struggle to win a medal. They are at about evens with Russia, maybe better than the fins, and nowhere near as strong as Sweden or Canada. Still, should be a good tournament.

Explain to me why someone would wear a Devils Jersey to a Flyers Rangers game. That's frigging stupid if you ask me. Just wear normal clothes if you go to that game.
- mrhattrick27

This is what I mean.

When I would go see Lindros as a Ranger against nonFlyer teams, I wore a Lindros Ranger sweater.

I guess I don't mind Euro or College sweaters at random. But I did see a guy in a Devils sweater at the last Flyers v Rangers game and I thought, what the hell?

He was publicly apologized to today by the GM. I am so stunned by that that I think he's an alternate in their minds and they want to be sure the bridge remains intact.
