Carter out, Perry in

Krejci out, ??? in
doesn't really matter, Czechs have no shot and should really be folded into the Euro team at this point
can be replaced by Team Buyout

also Freddy Andersen hurt in Olympic qualifying, so he might be a doubt as well

guys dropping like flies at it approaches, not that i can really blame them
(too late for the Sedins to claim they simultaneously hurt their backs sneezing?)

Well, I'm happy our players are taking the ice for our olympic qualifier and didn't make the excuse that this dumb tournament has priority. Some NHL teams prob won't be happy that their guys played two tournaments before the season started

Andersen hurt. I blame royaleblue. Hope when they bring him back to TO they keep him there.

Team Buyout LOL. Booth now inventing teams so he can make one.

Cervenka is the man in for Krejci
edit: now Hertl & Gudas also out for the Czechs jfc

Trocheck in for Monahan
forgot until i saw it pointed out today that Galchenyuk somehow didn't make that team
30g/56pts last season, good possession player, wtf #everyonehatesHabs

though keeping him there wouldn't accomplish much, an injury this close to the tournament, might not have been the starter anyway, yeah i would assume he'll sit out and rest regardless of the actual severity

Sorry Everlastr

Lundqvist apparently got injured at a golf tournament and is questionable, amazing.

But for real, I think that any slim chance Ehrhoff had to get an NHL contract only got worse due to his off season workload. Guess he can use the WC as a showcase (it won't work)

World Cup has some of the best coverage, like articles wondering who is going to captain a made up team of players from two different countries in a two-week tournament.

I want John Gibson as captain of the U23 team. And I don't know, someone random like Luca Sbisa for Team PartsofEurope.

so Hertl & Gudas were replaced by 2 guys i've never heard of, and now Vladdy Sobotka might have broken his clavicle in a warmup games

meanwhile Jammy Jagz still smart enough to pretend like this thing isn't happening
(decent chance he legit doesn't know)

run worse Czechs, seriously

Both the Sweden/Finland and Russia/Czech games had a great pace to them for an exhibition match. Really pumped to alternate between football and the NA/Europe game. Deeeeecent night of couching ahead.
