Red, White, And Blue In Vancouver?

BallHype: hype it up!


Thanks to Ryan....this is what Team USA should look like in 2010 at Vancouver.


In honor of our country’s birthday, we look at what Team USA could potentially look like in the 2010 Olympics next February in Vancouver! This is who I would name to the team if I were Brian Burke & Ron Wilson…

Forwards (12)
Patrick Kane
Paul Stastny
Zach Parise
Bobby Ryan
Chris Drury
Dustin Brown
Scott Gomez
Phil Kessel
Ryan Kesler
David Backes
Kyle Okposo
Ryan Malone

Defensemen (6)
Brian Rafalski
Mike Komisarek
Erik Johnson
Ryan Suter
Ryan Whitney
Brooks Orpik

Goalies (2)
Ryan Miller
Tim Thomas

Omissions from camp:
Booth, Byfuglien, Callahan, Gilbert, Gleason, Hainsey, J. Johnson, Langenbrunner, Martin, Modano, Oshie, Pavelski, Quick, and Scuderi

Olympics Outlook:
Canada, Russia, Sweden, Finland, and Czech Republic are all at least better than that team you see above, and there’s nothing the U.S. can do about it. They’ll be hard-pressed to get a medal… but one thing is for sure, these guys will compete very hard and won’t back down.

I'm liking your projection. To leave Backes off the squad (like everyone else) is just dumb.
