Agreed on Umberger.

Sweden in the first prelim. Think we can actually win that one. Then Norway and Canada. Two that we COULD drop. I'm thinking we have a REAL shot at bronze if we can get by one of those two. Gold is asking a lot though. Least we don't have Finland in our grouping.

He's had a bad January, but I think he's done well as a winger. Gets around the net. Pretty physical guy (from what i've seen of him anyway). I like Umberger. Gleason hasn't had a much better year than RJ though. Definitely been a good year for him, but compared to the other defensemen on the roster, he's a step behind. Really, the Hurricanes as a whole are a step behind it seems like. :( Ready to see us play good hockey again. Such a depressing season.

this.

jackets have been playing TERRIBLE lately and me calling them terrible is being generous. rj has 15 goals and 15 assists so far this year so i wouldn't really say he's having a bad year

Let it also be known that the only reason Tim Thomas made the team was for sympathy points, because Miller will start every game. At least thats how its planned atm.

Gleason has taken huge steps to become a real defensive force for us. He has no offensive presence, but he can shut some folks down really well.

Honestly, USA could probably use a guy like Umberger because we are team Oompa Loompa up front.

      https://www.yahoo.com/sports/article/versatile-2nd-db-named-panthers-154026075.html Smith-Wade's ability to play corner, nickel and safety makes him valuable to a young defense trying to rebuild after finishing last in the NFL a year ago. "Chau took advantage of an opportunity,'' coach Dave Canales said. "He made tackles. He had an opportunity on an interception, and he made it.'' Our defense has got to come alive for us to have a chance of winning our Division!

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.
