Can Team USA Make an Impact at the Olympics 7

Following your new staple around the NHL, the fresh Years Day Winter Classic Team USA announced it's fall into line for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.With 1980 Team USA Gold Members there Team USA GM Brian Burke had his roster finalized and surprised many. Taking away many of the veterans from USA Olympians past including Mike Modano, Billy Guerin, Keith Tkachuk, Scott Gomez, Brian Rolston and Dougie Weight.Leaving questions he went with NY Rangers captain Chris Dury for leadership. Stating Dury are a wide game lover in which he deserves the top stage. Although Druy's last two seasons haven't been right he could of been able to decide on an even better choice within the group above.Billy Guerin might of been a significantly better choice obtaining the best season belonging to the USA vets. Scoring 12 goals and 16 assists in 41 games while defending his Stanley Cup from the season ago. Guerin could of completed this team in every way. Even when Dury is an effective penalty killer along with a great face-off man his leadership can be along way utilizing this young USA team. Your choice must of been tuff.Team USA will look for scoring from top forwards Patrick Kane of your Chicago Black Hawks and Nj Devils Zach Parise. Kane is right now in sixth put in place the NHL scoring race with seventeen goals and thirty one assists for forty eight points while Parise is fourteenth over-all having seventeen goals and twenty six assists to get a total of 45 points.Team USA will probably have a tuff choice in between the pipes with Sabers goalie Ryan Miller and Bruins net minder Tim Thomas. My choice is Miller for my part the ideal NHL goalie in 2010. Beginning of the process in Shut outs with 5, second placed in save %.934, second in wins with 23 and 2nd in Goals Against having a 2.02 average. As Team USA may lack towards the other countries a number of positions they are stacked relating to the pipes in a new series goal tending will get you deep into the tournament.North america went with an incredibly young defense average age 23 and then the veteran Brian Rafalski. The combination has size, speed and play makers.US has to be a heavy underdog doing the Olympics with regards to Russians boast Ovechkin and Malkin aided by the Canadines having Crosby and Thornton. However i something like this team and I think he or she can surprise and turn some heads to be a Medal in Vancouver will probably be hardly a Miracle.
