Exactly.
No one cares.

Yup, loved the effort and heart that team showed last night.

They all must hate Canada.

It is relevant.
The injury wasn't a secret.
Im sure Team USA knew about it...why take a chance.

Besides, Kessel wouldn't have saved Team USA. So it makes no difference.

How'd they know? He didn't know

Meh, hall didn't just win the cup finishing near the top of playoff scoring and didn't play in last olympics and lead his team in scoring.

Canada didn't also leave off half the player on the team to take goons.

Kessel is soft....nothing new.
He wouldnt have changed the outcome at all.

See, the problem with wearing your heart on your sleeve is that you need it in your chest to pump blood throughout your body. Purposefully turning yourself into a corpse is a bold strategy by the Americans, but I don't think it paid off.

I love the look he gives the passing canuck.

Ah yes, forgot the team was named long before playoffs.
But he's soft...wasnt the style of play they wanted.

Your not going to out gritt Canada, why try?

Tavares as skilled as any on USA and he was what 4th line? And he out gritted anyone on USA.

Dumb strategy. How bout trying to beat other team?

Yes hindsight is 20/20. Good job!
People were singing a different tune after they beat Canada during the exhibition.
USA made a huge blunder for a nothing tourney.....the ship was sunk the minute Torts was hired on.

Next time, they'll have half of team NA on their team, might do better.

US outshot them and lost. Typical Canada loss at these things.

I hope theres another NA team... Connor and Auston get their revenge

I have highlighted to parts of your post that really miss the point of the Kessel tweet and how Team USA management picked the team

How is it hindsight? I've been saying from day one (band so has most people) that it was terribly constructed team.

What an absolute female genitalia. Is it wrong that the schadenfreude is strong with this one...?

Its really something to feel the need to point out that stuff about Kessel

Team USA has the coaches (not torts) and players available to make up a team that could still be playing..I have no doubt.. would they beat Canada..probably not..but would they go down in a flaming tire fire...probably not.

thats really the point.. not that Kessel is soft or fat or whatever
