Feb 2014

What you said are some of my biggest gripes about this. I am all for going back to the old "amateurs only" format. This business of yanking players away from their season (and giving all the others a 2 week vacation) for the Olympics is ridiculous.

I am also not crazy about how this team was chosen. They left some excellent players back home (Ryan, Schneider, Saad, Yandle, Bishop, Okposo...), and, I am not impressed with some of those who were chosen. If they stick with the current format for 2018, I hope they bring in new management. The current staff sucks.
