I’m guessing it has something to do with their respective hit totals. Also, the difference between the two (as they currently exist) is not what Isles fans would have us believe. The US has a glut of that teir of versatile player (Callahan, Okposo, Oshie, Gaustad…I’m sure I’m missing some) who all would have been solid choices.

Anyone else surprised the IOC didn’t demand royalties from Miller for having the Olympic rings on his mask?

No? They have filed lawsuits against the use of the word “Olympics” and for use of the logo in far less visible places.

for those of you who don’t watch the Leafs, RW likes to employ this collapsing style of defense that is probably the most hated thing in my life. You had better hope Miller has A+ rebound control against Canada and in the medal round, or else the US will spend a lot of time in their own end.
