zata20 4 Report post Posted June 30, 2009 Modano !? hahahaha what a joke ! Ya, you know the all-time points leader among American born players. You can't just throw a bunch of young inexperienced guys out there. They need someone (Modano) that can provide veteran leadership. Someone that has played at the grand stage of the olympics before.

Yzerfan1999 81 Report post Posted July 1, 2009 Some of those teams might have a chance against Canada's B team Kidding, kidding. That US team has A LOT of young talent - I'll be excited to see a US/CANADA matchup in 3 or 4 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
