Ryan Wilson: Phil Kessel Left Off World Cup Roster, Team USA Roster A Train Wreck Phil Kessel Left Off World Cup Roster, Team USA Roster A Train Wreck

there really are no words to describe this roster.


and first you puck sluts.

Legitimately terrible roster.

Unbelievably bad choices, especially on D.

There is someone on this planet who actually thinks Jack Johnson is better than Faulk, Shattenkirk and Fowler?

is it possible for Sullivan to jump ship from this trainwreck and go coach the 23U team?

that team will be a lot of fun to watch.

Sorry guys, that roster is brutal.

Canada made some poor decisions, but this is just.... wow.

Thought: Wow, that team USA roster is legitimately terrible.

*Looks up management team*

Oh.

This team is going to get killed. Poor job by USA. Abdelkader, Stepan, Jack Johnson, Dubinsky, Callahan and Niskanen are all

I loved those Vaughn gloves!!! I still have a pair that need new palms badly...

This is flat out embarrassing, if we somehow win gold this would be miracle 2.0.

Jack Johnson over Faulk, Shattenkirk, Fowler? No Phil Kessel?

Wonder what input Torts had. Seems like he wants to get the band back together - Stepan, Callahan and Dubinsky. Neither should be there.

I'm thinking with this roster, there's no way Sullivan had much input considering he's an assistant and is still coaching in the playoffs.

Like i said above, i'd love for him to jump ship and go coach the 23U team. that team would be a ton of fun to watch with him coaching.

Stepan is pretty good. The Rest, eh not so much.

They never played on a line together.

6 players he's coached before made the team.

Six.

Stepan is pretty good. The Rest, eh not so much.

Stepan is a downgrade to others that were left off IMO. He is fine, but there were better choices out there.

At Center? Maybe you could make a case for Tyler Johnson. Considering how crazy good he played last year. But he was injured this year and his played dipped.

Meh

Johnson or Stastny >>> Stepan. IMO ... Sorry.

I am surprised that Disco Dan is not the coach Oh wait, his team crapped out in the Olympics Oh well
