[MissTeeks]

That's crappy:

Reports suggest no Hudler on the Czech Olympic team. #Flames

[Ashasx]

Wow. How?

[the_only_turek_fan]

wtf

[Ashasx]

He's been our best forward, is +1 on this crappy team... this doesn't even make sense at all.

[MissTeeks]

Apparently Smid did though:

Sounds like Smid will represent the Czech's however. #Flames

[GirlySports]

good, they'll finish last.

[Knut]

Jagr, Elias, Voracek, Vrbata top 6 Wingers. You have Krejci, Plekanec and hanzal down the middle.

You have to think Hudler is better than Hemsky, Frolik, Fleischmann and Michalek right now.

Questionable to leave him off for sure.

[PeteMoss]

Oh Czech's.

[trackercowe]

Jeez the Flames sure are getting crapped on today. Of course Hemsky will make it, even though he's had a far worse season than Hudler has.

[Yamer]

Would be a big mistake not to have his work ethic, vision, and skill on the team.

[GirlySports]

who's the czech goalie? still Vokoun?

[nik-]

wow ... Roman Cervenka made the team, no Hudler.

When you look at it that way actually then there's an argument to leave him off.

Hudler has to play top six to be effective and they have better options. He doesn't compare to the guys in the bottom six for both size, speed and grit.

[Gaskal]

I boo this.

He's out all year, no? Pavelec and Neuvirth are there only two NHL level goalies outside of him.

Uh, Hemsky? CERVENKA?

All are garbage and are terrible defensively.

Hudler isn't spectacular in his own end, but he's just fine.

He's out scoring all of those guys except for Jagr and Jagr has 1 more point but played 2 additional games.

[MissTeeks]

Huh?

Pat Steinberg‏@Fan960Steinberg41s

Crazy to think Petr Nedved makes the Czech team over Hudler and Fleischmann. Nedved is 42!

Let me track down the supposed roster that's been leaking.
