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.

      I would be quite surprised if he got more than a fine. Flopping has long been out of hand in the NBA. There were definitely some Heat players doing extra selling fouls. LaMelo seems to be getting quite a bit of hate on social media for the Bam injury though. And it is fair to wonder how the next opponent might defend him going forward knowing what happened. I don't think we can just be homers and dismiss it entirely especially after all the complaints we've made about the Pistons in particular. I think this group better be prepared for a very physical game on Friday.

      When you look closely at the play it was careless from Melo but bang bang full speed I don’t think it was intentional or dirty or deserving of a foul. Bam’s off balance momentum was already carrying him towards a fall and even if Melo didn’t touch him it may have had the exact same outcome. And honestly I think he did try to sell it more when he felt LaMelo’s hand. Dudes arms flopped back instead of bracing for the fall. Sucks he got hurt but a suspension would be ridiculous and an awful look for the league. Fine and move on
