I'd be more outraged that they left Carney off in favor of Hatcher.... but as a Canadian I laugh and smile. :D

Chelios made it over Carney?! What a joke! :shakehead

lol No Carney or Berard but they have Chelios,Klee and Miller?lol!

i dont mind.... carney needs to rests his old arse up for next yr anyhow. Besides, his triplets will keep him busy....

Yeah. He and Rucchin should both find holes and crawl in them all summer.

Chelios and Miller both made the Olympic team and are still both premier shutdown defenseman in the NHL, they were both locks from the get go.

No idea why Hatcher and Klee are there, but what can you do.

Chelios is about 2 years removed from being premier anything.

I think the U.S. brass is counting on Hatcher being fully healed by August. He was a finalist for the Norris Trophy last year after all......... If he's close to that form he'll be a real asset. As for Klee, I think he's an underrated player in the NHL. He's a good defensively, but posseses some nice finesse skills. He'll fit in great with the team IMO.

Oh, you mean when he came in 2nd in Norris voting? People need to get off of his case. He had his fair share of injuries this year and came back prematurely. He'll be fine in a freakin two week tournament where he doesn't have to be the main man.

I don't care if he's fine or not. He's slow and his reputation is vastly outstripping his abilities at this point. Meaning he's overrated.

Team USA is chock full of players I dislike and frankly I hope they lose. Only way I root for them is if the meet up with Canada at some point.

I assume you're an American which makes your attitude pretty curious. Just because you dislike some individual players you're going to throw some hate on your country's national team? :dunno:

That guy's a clown; don't worry about him.

Wow, impromptu love from one of the biggest jokes on the boards, I must be doing something right.

Rabid Ranger - I like hockey but it isn't a source of national pride for me. I think it's curious that people feel such patriotism over a sports team, doesn't make any sense. The guys on that team don't represent me in any way, and they woudn't even if I liked them.

As it is - Chelios, Guerin, Modano, Tkachuk, Roenick, Hull - all guys I have a major dislike for.

Aren't these the same idiots that tore up the hotel in the Japan Olympics? I can't remember exactly... long time ago.

More or less.

Exactly. When it comes to representing your country, unless you think winning is everything, character and class matters.

Besides which, I think a lot of Team USA is comprised of guys getting in on name value, rather than recent productivity.

And people are amazed that Leclair didn't make it.

US team isn't very good, it's full of old guys who have one way or another hurt the game..Tkachuk,Guerin,Chelios come to mind.

Chelios and Miller both made the Olympic team and are still both premier shutdown defenseman in the NHL, they were both locks from the get go.

40 game Miller and Quicksand Chelios? I'm glad Carney didn't get on to be honest, that means he won't get hurt and will let his ankle heal.

Seriously the US team isn't very good, it's extremely slow.

When they won the World Cup in '96 they had the perfect squad ... a couple veterans, a bunch of guys in their prime, and a youngster or two on the verge of breaking out. They had speed, grit, goaltending, and a steady defense. It was no surprise that they beat Canada.

Since then, the core of that team has gotten very old, and there haven't been any youngsters who have blossomed into stars to replace those guys. And most importantly, there's no Richter or an equivalent in net ... he was on one of his godlike streaks in '96, but none of the current USA goalies have shown they're capable of reaching that level of play.
