frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted February 6, 2014 Right choice Stevo Neal is a punk and just benefiting like Kunitz from playing with the best player in the world. Now the only remaining question is, will MSL accept or decline because of what happened 1 month ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wings87 1,290 Report post Posted February 6, 2014 St. Louis should never have been left off the team in the first place. He deserves to go the most. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He benefits from playing with Malkin the same as Kunitz does playing with Crosby, but Neal has all-world skill in the shot department. In terms of MSL....he's not 6 years old, he understands the process and as upset as he may have been, there is no way he'd be bitter and not want to play.

Now the only remaining question is, will MSL accept or decline because of what happened 1 month ago. St. Louis is one of the classiest players in the league. Even if he was a bit salty about it, no way would he decline. Also last chance to play for your country, I don't see him saying no. I agree, Neal is a punk, but there is no denying his shot / release.

Yes, the reflexes in his knee are second to none, especially when someone's head is near by!

PavelValerievichDatsyuk 1,935 Report post Posted February 6, 2014 I wonder if St. Louis actually play or whether Carter is moved up into lineup and St. Louis is the extra forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You know, I would have been able to handle a loss to Canada, but this crappy goal from that sob just made me want to throw up. I didn't know it was possible but it made me hate him even more than I already did. Good luck to you guys, but I hope you lose every game you play (no way that happens).

I've never been less excited about my team winning a championship. Worst part was that I called it right after the slovakia game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
