Matt Henderson: Hall Snubbed By Team Canada

Fist. (frank) you, IggysBff

Don't feel bad, Muzzin (who I think is a very good Dman) over Gio or Brodie & Hamilton not on the NA team is mind boggling as well. Then Backlund who is a Corsi rock star that has analytics people salivating over isn't on Sweden. Good, let these other suckers risk the injury & have the big letdown & our guys that have been snubbed have something to prove. Hall being omitted is ridiculous.

They always say Canada is so ridiculously loaded with talent there will always be some guys who get left off that could easily be subbed in, but I have to agree Hall would be a no-brainer for me.

Toews is overrated? Surely you jest.

I guess that is the going rate for a great captain that has won 3 cups, every team in the league would have paid him that after that kind of success.

Galchenyuk snub is worse. They royally (frank)ed up some of those decisions.

So I guess this puts to rest the whole "elite" argument.

I kid, ridiculous he is not on the team.

that would make him overpaid, not overrated.

overrated is when a player fails & misses the mark on talent expectations, but is constantly praised as a superstar.

overpaid is money vs tangible returns

Canada's "B" Defense featuring Subban, Letang, Brodie, Gio, Seabrook, Barrie, and Ellis would be the envy of the tournament for all other teams.

I do not jest. Overrated. Still a no-brainer lock for Team Canada as far as I'm concerned. He's just taken on legendary status because his team is so good.

I think in a general hockey fan perception Toews might actually be underrated because of the amount of fans who just look at G, A, P and don't watch the game or understand anything else. In other words, the vast majority of people.

100% Mr. Pielep

It's a joke hall isn't in the team.
But guys like Tavares and seguin who are not better players in any facet other than media hype, get constantly deep throated.
but he plays on the oilers.

And that's not even mentioning that he's undoubtedly the superior player to carter, duchene and Marchand

Bright side is there's no injury risk. But he deserves to be on the team

Maybe its because he isnt actually that good and people grossly overrate him because of where he was mistakenly drafted?

Nah. He was snubbed.

Maybe learn to play some defence and he'll make the team.

Only difference being Messier finished 2nd All-Time in NHL scoring...

Maybe learn to play some defence and he'll make the team.
