Suter makes the team on rep and previous Olympic involvement.Forwards1)Patrick Kane2)David Backes3)Dustin Brown4)Joe Pavelski5)Ryan Callahan6)Bobby Ryan7)TJ Oshie8)Zack Parise9)Phil Kessel10)Brandon Saad11)Alex Galchenyuk12)Max Pacioretty13)Blake WheelerSome nice tough team orientated forwards on Team USA. They will be super tough to play against. I believe Emerson Etem will force his way on this team, to fast and skilled to leave off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyercanuck Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 @hf101 They look like D division ball hockey jerseys...that you'd turn down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hf101 Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 @jammer2@flyercanuck Apparently Russia has the same fake laces, thus they will be fashion quo :wacko: *this would be SO much better...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 @hf101 A pic of Russia's new Olympic gear. I love the traditional look of the darker jersey, but the White one is AWESOME. They are both pretty cool and they will at the very least look good this Winter. http://www.cbssports.com/nhl/eye-on-hockey/23331861/photo-russias-olympic-hockey-jerseys-are-interesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Story on Galchenyuk's attempt to make Team USA for the Sochi Olympics. He turns 20 on the first day of the tourny. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=430686 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hf101 Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 @jammer2 Russia's do look better than the USA ones, I still don't like the fake laces. Now comparing both of them, I don't like that the USA has the same look as the Russians with the stripes on the sleeves either.....#NikeFail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 @hf101 Agreed, I might be leaning towards *epic* fail!! LOL! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojo1917 Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 the sheild looks great on a football kit as a breast patch or smallish center patch, this whole sweater is a mess there is not one design element that i like individually, it's like the designer kept adding bad ideas hoping to make some sort of negative magic happen. those sweaters suck.
