We’ll see how that balances out on the 7th.

While I am very happy with some of the decisions made for team USA, I cannot get past the whole Bobby Ryan thing. Behind Kessel, he has the most points for an American. It’s just absurd.

It still baffles me how Amanda Kessel is related to Phil and Blake (who could almost be twins….shudder). She won the gene pool lotto there!

I am not a flag-waver or someone who chants “USA! USA!” but I am Team USA hockey all the way. I’m sick of Canada’s winning and I love the grit and heart of the US team, although I’m super pissed about some of the omissions – Ryan & Yandle especially, but also Saad, Galchenyuk, Bishop and maybe even Kreider.

Yes, some of my favorite players play for other countries and I unabashedly love “Oh Canada” and always sing along, but this is one instance where my heart bleeds red, white & blue. McDonagh & Stepan are so patriotic they don’t even skate away after the anthems until the flags have left the ice – how can you not love that? And David Backes FLIES PLANES TO SAVE ABUSED PUPPIES. How can you not want a man like that to win a gold medal?

I’m with you on Kessel maybe not being the right person to be the face of Team USA, but if you need a cheerleader to pump up the crowd for our boys, I will raise my hand with red, white & blue painted nails.

I’ll even start with leaving this adorable video of Phil and Dion chirping each other over musical preferences and cookies here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orZwIDDKvlQ

I was secretly hoping that Torey Krug would make the team, but I knew it was a long shot. See ya in 2018, buddy.
