JE14 Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 You lobbied for somebody who doesn't belong on the team. I thought they would pick Yandle, that is all sucka.. I thought they would pick Okposo, you thought they would pick Yandle. Don't see much of a difference there. If posting stats and facts is lobbying then yes I did lobby just like I would lobby for other players on other teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Botta @ChrisBottaNHL1m As you'll learn from coverage by reporters imbedded with USA Hockey, Kyle Okposo never really came close. Suckaaaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baka Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Brown is a +12 and a 2 way player. Okposo is a one way player and slacks getting back into his own end. Currently he is a -4. It should be worth noting that the plus/minus comparison is complete BS when you use it to compare players in polar opposite situations. Brown plays the the #1 ranked defensive team in the NHL. Okposo plays on the #29 ranked defensive team in the NHL. Naturally the plus/minus stats are lopsided as only 2 players on the King's entire team are a -4 or lower. While the Islanders best plus/minus players combined for all of 44 games (Moulson, Vanek, Visnovsky). Thomas Hickey is the only + player at a +1 who has actually played most of the season for the Islanders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lackness Monster Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Something where they can go wrong is putting to many shoot first mentality guys on that first line. Kessel - Kesler - Kane is a possibility, not sure if it would work or not but the thing about Kane is he can set up, and shoot. Team U.S has an interesting roster they got some nice gritty players.

AriGold Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Here is my opinion of this, hahaha... Drunk Patrick Kane @Drunk_Kane885m Paul Martin, who hasn't played since November 25 and is on IR made Team USA over Keith Yandle. Let that sink in.

Bissurnette Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I don't think Brown deserves a spot especially at the expense of someone like Okposo. Completely agree with you. But the morons are not only giving him a spot, but aren't they also giving him the captaincy?? lol the leadership of that team falls in the hands of a goon. I'm happy for Canada that's for sure =D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
