Did someone say the players don't care? I said it about Four Nations, but I was clearly proven wrong. The Olympics still have plenty of cachet for fans and players.

Caulfield and Robertson got robbed imo

No Fox *insert Nelson haha meme*

I hope for his sake Tkachuk doesn't go out on the ice knowing he won't make it through a game. Robs someone else of a spot and hurts the team. I guess we'll see if he plays today in the classic or before the plane leaves for Milan.

No Robertson, Caufield or Fox is hilarious. Enjoy your fourth place finish you dirty Yanks

Jason Robertson has more points than anyone on team USA. Somethings going on there

A best-on-best Olympics will be a different game than the NHL. As we saw in the 4 Nations, the speed of play is blazing fast, and any defensive lapses or weaknesses will be exposed. Every players needs to be able to skate and be relied on defensively.

That explains some of the roster decisions that people are unhappy about. A guy like Stone can get away with his heavy skating because of his elite defensive awareness, positioning, and ability to win pucks in tight. The same can’t be said for Fox, Scheifele, or Robertson.

Those US snubs are pretty awful. Sure glad they left those guys off the list.

Hanifin is a little bit of a surprise for me.

Id like to see Bennett in the line up even more so now.

Brady and Matthew, JT Miller and Trocheck all play with some snarl.

Canada looks relatively soft with exception of Wilson (looked soft at 4 nations minus Bennett)

True, but most of those guys are slower. The Canada roster will likely skate circles around the Americans.

No Robertson is incredible. I don’t get that at all.

Debrincat got robbed also. Has been one of the top US goal scorers for a number of seasons. IMO either him or Caufield should have been included over Trochek.

Tage Thompson and Clayton Keller helped the U.S. win the world hockey championship for the first time since 1933, while Seth Jones was a key part of the Florida Panthers' second consecutive Stanley Cup run.

Those contributions earned them spots on the U.S. Olympic team as the only three additions from the 4 Nations Face-Off early last year.

USA Hockey unveiled its roster Friday on the "Today" show, with a vast majority of it made up of players who took part in the NHL-run international tournament in February, when the Americans made the final before losing to Canada in overtime. The only ones not back from the 4 Nations are Anaheim Ducks forward Chris Kreider and former New York Rangers defenseman Adam Fox.
