Because it's you I'll make sure to let you know every time he scores and how close to that magic number he is!

Lundqvist is the most overrated goalie in the league. Wake me up when he finally wins a cup

I don't blame him for not scoring so much on an Edmonton team hemmed in its own end so much. He's young, fast and has infinite skill, but I'm sure you're smarter than all the experts.

I think Lundqvist is a fantastic goalie, but as you can see, judging him from one angle is a bit unfair, right?

Honestly, I'm glad he's not going. More motivation for him, less chance of him being hurt in meaningless games. World Cup is a joke with two gimmick teams.

I WANT NO DEVIL PARTICIPATING IN THESE STUPID GAMES.

Someone will just get injured and (frank) our season. Its a blessing in disguise Hall isnt playing.

sources confirming it as we speak

I'm fine with that. Less games to be injured in.

We have the same thoughts with Brodie & Gio getting snubbed & Hamilton not on team NA. New coach, need these guys in camp to get out of the gate quick, we're going to need it

Have any other Devils been selected?

I thought Schneider was in for USA? Other than that, I have no idea.

Yeah, I'd imagine he is... He's awesome. I guess as a goalie, it wouldn't be too bad, but I definitely understand the fear of having your players get injured

Giroux when he got snubbed a few years back led the league in points afterwards.

That being said nobody is pointed out big game couture is a better 200 foot player who just led the nhl in points in the playoffs. It's great that hall scores. But when does he score ? You heard his old team saying he did nothing in big time games. Couture shows up in em.

Funny.

I posted something an hour ago....talking about the real reasons that Hall was left off....and I guess a Mod took it down immediately.

Wow....what a joke. So much for information sharing. We want your information, but only when it's good for the game? What a joke.

Agreed.

Hall has his warts but is clearly the superior player overall in comparison to Couture.

Benn and Hall are more similar in what they bring and adding another center seems extremely redundant.

Funny.

Todd Cordell: New Jersey Devils: Taylor Hall Snubbed Again By Team Canada

Somebody is going to get hurt at this stupid gimmick. Fans are going to be pissed when Player X of Team Y is going to miss real NHL games. I'd be thrilled for Hall not going. Keeps him focused on the Devils.

Well considering Canada has 1 non center forward, I don't think that's an issue.

You don't need any injuries for that.

Season was shot when we failed to retain the services of Bobby Farnham in my opinion.

Maybe it was accidentally deleted.

I find it a little bit funny that this has really not been brought up here much, but Hall has had some personal issues that have affected him.

It seems to me that Edmonton players play in a bit of a vacuum. Everyone in Edmonton (well, under 40 anyway) knows that Hall, Everle and 'Nuge were all heavily into the nightlife. And when I say nightlife, I mean 'partying'....and by that I mean they enjoy their substances. That core needed to change for more reasons than one.

Last year when they got lucky and drafted McDavid they assigned Hall to be his roommate, hoping that McDavid would help the situation. Kind of the opposite, right? Normally the vet is supposed to help the rookie....anyway, it helped but it didn't stop it from happening.

This the Hall trade. These other teams are not stupid....if I know about it, then certainly they do too. Of course Hall deserves to be on Team Canada based on his play. DUH. But he isn't being snubbed for his play.

Now, did Edmonton trade Hall away just because of this? No. In fact, they were stupid enough to bring in Kassian, who is also a coke-pig, to their environment. Just dumb. But this certainly did affect the value that Hall had on the market. This is also we they can't seem to give 'Nuge away.

Again....if I know about this stuff, other teams do too.

How credible am I? I live and work in Vancouver and have been around Kassian enough to know. I also am in Edmonton a LOT and have clients who have told me all about their boys and their habits. None of it surprises me....I used to live n Winnipeg and I have seen guys like Brandon Reid, Fedor Fedorov and Alex Auld snort more than a bull about to be released in a bull riding match.

So there....now you know it.
