I'm sorry, but this jersey is just terrible. It tries to be hip and modern, but just ends up looking like a feminine updated version of a sweater from the 80s
Not that the US version is any better. Whoever thought up these designs at Nike should be taken out back and shot. Who the hell wants shiny stars on their shoulders! Both countries should just go back to the 2010 versions which were great designs.
Olympic hockey will be amazing. Hope Seth Jones finds a way on the roster
I highly doubt it. Don't get me wrong, he is going to be a great player, but he is absolutely not ready yet. He is still learning and adapting to the NHL game, and it has been a rocky start so far. He needs to shore up his skill set and commit fewer mental lapses before he gets an invite to the team.

I think he'll be there. He's got the size and more skill than you think, more flashes than consistant but as a 3rd or 4th line D-man on the roster i don't see anyone better.

I have to agree with WLViking on this one. As great as it has been to watch him play this year, he is still far from being an Olympian. The US have plenty of talent to pick from and I would be SHOCKED to see him in Sochi, but anything can happen between now and then...aka. injuries.

I wouldn't be SHOCKED. I'm saying the U.S. will probably take 12 defensemen and he's a top 12 D-man. I know he's -11 but who else is better than him? The talent is there it's just a matter of adjusting and if he's playing alongside the best in the country and with wider ice then it's a totally different game.

Considering that the roster is only allowed to carry 25 players I highly doubt they will take 12 D Men...Im pretty sure that is un-heard of. They might max out and take 9, which would result in 3 guys watching the games from the press box. As for the wider ice argument, how does Jones become a benefactor of this? He has never played in European leagues before, so if anything it will work against him and not for him. I guess it could work for him "offensively", but I still think he is too much of a liability on the back end to make your Olypmic Roster. (-11)for a D man is never a good stat to carry.

Funky, for the Olympics you get to bring a 25 man roster and dress 20. That means 12 forwards dressed with probably 2 in reserve, 6 Defense dressed with probably 2 in reserve and 2 goalies dressed with 1 in reserve.
Reserves are really only used in the case of injuries, so no, they will not bring 12 defensemen. Most likely they bring 8, but maybe 7 given how much stronger the forwards are.
And rosters are set in 3 weeks. After that, injury replacements get filled from the reserves.
I know you are a Preds fan, but you need to take the blinders off here. I am a Hawks fan, but realistically, Leddy has no chance of making the team even if I try and will him on to it. He is young and his game just isent there. Same with Seth Jones.

for sure not a preds fan. Rangers toy with my heart.
So Boston is playing in Edmonton tonight. Surprising how many Bruins fans are in the place.
there are MANY east coasters who now live in Alberta. As one of those transplanted east coasters myself, I can confirm there are a lot of Boston fans from the Atlantic provinces
I hadn't thought of that. I just figured the New England states, and it being odd that many Americans (from over here) would float up to Alberta on oil business.
If someone from any team, if any other player did the same thing I wouldn't want them to ever play again, it's simple.
I'm not arguing the fact Thornton should have been suspended for a significant amount of games, he should have been. I'm a little surprised he's eligible to return before the Olympics break actually.
Me with the Bruins is nowhere near the blind homerism of say Sang and Clemson football.
