epper Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Kinda disappointed that Tim Connolly and Paul Gaustad missed the cut.... on the bright side, just more reason to cheer against the Damn Yankees! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianVlietDesign Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I'm kind of up in the air about this roster. On paper it looks like we could have a competitor. But, I'm still iffy. NYCFC - MLS CUP CHAMPIONS - 2021 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Not a checking center to counter all the Russian/Canadian firepower, Im not happy about Drurys inclusion, i'd rather have Guerin if they wanted a veteran presence. Thats really my only complaints really. A little upset that Anderson didnt get named over Quick but I guess I can see why.

Im really looking for a guy like Paul Gaustad, who is the best faceoff guy in the NHL.

I think of him primarily as a center for the Blues, I think it's what he usually plays. But we'll see where he goes on the US roster.

Don Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 There are 4 legit centers on the team, Stastny, Kesler, Pavelski, and Drury. Thats a solid 4 but I know alot of Rangers fans that are extremely unhappy with Drurys performance this year. Callahan can also play center. Theres a good bit of young firepower with Parise, Ryan, and Kane. Theres alot of reasons to be optimistic looking at the roster. Alot of youth, speed, and grit.

If Not here's who I have.Captain: Jamie Langenbrunner Assistants: Dustin BrownChris DruryBrian RafalskiNo, Burke said Wilson and his assistants are going to be charged with that task. In a perfect world Langenbrunner would be captain, but I see them picking Drury.

Mingjai Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 I was hoping the young Blake Wheeler would sneak into this roster, but I think he has a few more opportunities at future Olympics. I don't mind the Drury pick, though I think a utility forward like Rolston would have been a decent veteran pick.

DEAD! Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Wow. I never knew Tim Thomas was that much bigger than the rest of the USA team... I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Why is Chris Drury on this team? He sucks and brings nothing to this? He doesn't score and he's small. Connolly or Rolston should have been selected over him. Also, Okposo should have been selected over Ryan Callahan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Wow. I never knew Tim Thomas was that much bigger than the rest of the USA team... Or that Jamie Langenbrunner changed his name to Lagenbrunner. Odd!

oddball Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Someone to shut down the Russian firepower? That's a pretty funny statement. Why worry about what the Russians will do themselves. It's a team in turmoil that will implode as they usually do. I have no clue why people think that Russia is good. Do you realize that since the breakup of the Soviet Union that Russia is at best a team that will medal? The past four Olympics have Russia finishing 4th, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. That's good, but not something that scares me. Sure they have talent, but they always have some sort of dysfunction, and this year their dysfunction is the need to include a certain amount of KHL players on the team instead of just choosing the best team. Russia will always be this talented dysfunctional team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinMcD Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Central and Western NY are starting to make a push into USA hockey. Kane and Orpik from Buffalo, Ryan Callahan from Rochester and Dustin Brown from Ithaca. Also, The Sabres Miller and ex Sabre Drury. Good luck guys, Bring home the gold!!!
