[tmay407]

[osh kosh bosh]

Jay Boumeester ******g sucks.

no I would have had St. louis other than that no big snubs.

 

[jjs07]

Who are the snubs?

Glad my dude PK made it

 

[Bad Religion]

St Louis, Giroux, Thorton..... Alex Burrows

 

[proshares]

Mike Smith?

Who are you taking out for St. Louis? Kunitz?

That bum Jay B over Boyle/Seabrook?

 

[DeadsetAce]

St Louis, Giroux, Thorton..... Alex Burrows

can't believe jumbo left off the roster. all that space on the olympic ice...my man would be threading dimes all over the place

 

[osh kosh bosh]

yeah i don't think hockey canada wanted to see joe and his lack of mobility on the large ice surface.

i would have gotten rid of the perpetually overrated Rick Nash for St louis.

 

[proshares]

I completely skimmed over Nash I'm guessing the speed on the open ice swayed them his way. Giroux has played wing before right?

I think Jumbo just got left off because they have faster guys who Y probably thinks does the same thing in Crosby & Tavares. Marleau had to be one of those open ice/good skater picks.

 

[DeadsetAce]

that's a good point

 

[Bad Religion]

Pretty surprised Hamhuis made it. Good to see him get rewarded though.

 

[fraij da 5 11]

 

 

[hawkflight6]

The 2 biggest surprises for me was no Giroux and St. Louis

I thought Giroux did enough to play his way back onto the team and St. Louis has been unbelievable since Stamkos went down

 

[Bad Religion]

Ive done that.

 

[DeadsetAce]

Ive done that.

dude was going for charge of the century

 

[proshares]

I love the dude standing up at the end and pointing.

I got kneed in the head one time in a similar situation.. I was lucky as hell, head wasn't on a swivel and caught the kid coming out of the corner of my eye. Ducked and the kid jumped for some reason and clocked me

at Giroux being left off of Canada and freaking Chris Kunitz and Rick Nash being selected

Good for us bc he'll be rested and now I can thoroughly root for them to fail and not even medal. What a joke.

I mean Canada has a lot more talent than the USA even has to choose from so that game says a lot more about the us than it does canada...and they are still heavy favorites to win, they snubbed my team's captain who kills penalties and offers much more than a few guys on the team...let me live oh and I also will always root against Crosby. #hatehatehate

Damn goal reminded me of Michael Leighton in the cup finals versus the hawks :x :x >:

 

[Bad Religion]

I want Giroux on the team, to be honest. I dont watch a ton of Pittsburg, but Chris Kunitz does not seem like a better choice to me than Giroux.

And I could think of 4-5 d-men over Jay Boumeester.

 

[proshares]

Well as much as Stevie says he got selected on his own merit, we know it's just because of playing him with Crosby. But why cause a strain with your own team with not selecting St. Louis.

 

[theenorthstar]

The ******g gawd, Marty St Louis snubbed yet again!

Giroux, of course. But like just LOOK at Hockey Canada's forwards.. like just wow...

Kunitz definitely deserved that spot with his unreal chemistry with Sid.

Everyone knows im a big Crosby fan, but I when that happened. I couldnt hate on him, I was just sad. So ****** sad. I will never ever forget that game.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!
