I guess if you play for Boston College, you get special dibs on these national teams. I'm no fan of Gionta - especially now that he's well past his prime - but BC has turned out some pretty good players over the past 20 years or so. Quote

My point is that a 39 year old retired player should not be on this team. This cannot be "the best we can get". And don't think for a second that the East Coast Bias in the sports media didn't have something to do with his inclusion on the team. Heads need to roll at USA Hockey for this. It is simply unacceptable. 1 Quote

90siouxfan Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 I didn't pay any attention to the selection process, but last night i was wondering where Vandevelde was? Just seems like the choices were not the best players, but maybe that is not how to make a miracle happen... Quote

SWSiouxMN Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Say the US wins the gold tonight, would the Lammys call it good for Olympic competition or would they try to make it again for 2022? Quote
Fetch Posted February 22, 2018 Author Posted February 22, 2018 Not surprised by the Men's team - They should let all Pro Coaches & College Coaches vote on the team any ties & let whoever is the team coach pick from the tied players & I'm OK with no current NHL Players I have been more excited about the Women - It's their time Go Lammy Twins & Gigi & GO USA ! 1 Quote

The Sicatoka Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 One more reason why ratings are down: The self-loving self-ingratiating “look at my hair and make-up and clothes” high-maintenance diva below ... and the blonde in the photo too. https://goo.gl/images/6dNqir Quote

OK I just think they would know who was available & would be the best to pick the best available Are there really that many Canuck coaches that would be that evil to support team Canada over team USA in that situation ?

Sure, and maybe the Olympic Coaches from Russia could help assist Canada in the selection process for Team USA, too. Quote
Cratter Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 Key to a USA win, don't let the game slip away early. Quote
The Sicatoka Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 I’m sure I could pick a team of all Minnesotans to play for the Goldy Goophies. 1 Quote
