2014 IIHF World Championships
They start in about 10 days in Belarus. Should be good. I'm sure quite a few Blues players will join their national teams.
I assume Canada and Russia are favored.
Thoughts?

Re: 2014 IIHF World Championships
Anyone know why Oshie isn't at the World Championships? The USA roster is lacking some starpower.
They are 2-0 but still.

Re: 2014 IIHF World Championships
But he came back to score 2 goals in the playoffs. Eventhough Team USA is 2-0 they are lacking starpower. The bigger ice surface for international hockey gives players like Oshie more room to work their magic.flyingnote38 wrote:thought I heard it was related to the injury. wanted to rest rather than risk re-aggravationJesusNEVERexisted wrote:Anyone know why Oshie isn't at the World Championships?

They are somewhat bigger in Canada and among hockey die hards which we are supposed to be! A few years ago they broadcast at least the USA and Canada games but I'm not sure anymore.STLADOGG wrote:Yeah plus the WC aren't that important anyways.flyingnote38 wrote:thought I heard it was related to the injury. wanted to rest rather than risk re-aggravationJesusNEVERexisted wrote:Anyone know why Oshie isn't at the World Championships?

Re: 2014 IIHF World Championships
USA vs Russia is on NBCSN right now!
Russia is leading 4 to 1. That's why I said Team USA could use Oshie. He's got more room to work with on the larger ice surface.

Team USA could use a goalie.

Re: 2014 IIHF World Championships
Ovie's knee injury looked like it could have been pretty bad but sounds like the Xrays came back negative for a tear. The video almost reminded me of Boat's knee injury in that fact, looked way worse than it ended up being.

I'd love to have his offensive talent here, but the other aspects of his game leave a lot to be desired...plus it would take way too much to get him...it may hurt us more than help us to trade for him.
