Scratching Keller yet playing Miller
Hopefully ottenger gets playing time in net
I feel like Miller and Nelson are bad enough that it will force their hand to throw Keller in once the games matter
I can’t cheer for Tkachuks anyway
Between snubbing Robertson and Caufield, two Tkachuks (just unlikeable, not necessarily bad), Mathews as captain, and now this, it’s getting harder and harder to root for USA.
I’m glad he’s not playing. I don’t want my captain to get hurt in a meaningless tournament.
I get this is just practice for now and still time before game 1, but my god that top line is just dumb redundant, personal feelings aside, tkachuks are almost the same exact player. Billy G, don’t sit there and say fans don’t understand roster makeup, and say you need balance on lines, and put this out there
keller would dominate with Matthews and Boldy, he is 4 points behind Guentz on the season working with less talent on his line, imagine putting him with two of the best goal scorers in the league
bump guentz up to top line, kells RW #2, brady down in place of hughes
Oh well. Teams Czechia and Germany will be interesting viewing!
This is honestly what I’m expecting with Keller. If you look at this objectively, he is kind of the odd man out in a lot of the lines. He will play 1 or 2 games but that’s probably it
