Damn
you beat me to it.
Anyways, here’s the full camp roster for those of you who hate downloading Word attachments (seriously, USA Hockey, it’s called a PDF and it’s rather useful):
Goalies: Ryan Miller (Buffalo), Tim Thomas (Boston), Jonathan Quick (Los Angeles)
Defense: Tom Gilbert (Edmonton), Tim Gleason (Carolina), Ron Hainsey (Atlanta), Erik Johnson (not a golf cart, that’s for sure), Jack Johnson (Los Angeles), Mike Komisarek (Montreal), Paul Martin (New Jersey), Brooks Orpik (Pittsburgh), Brian Rafalski (Fuck Detroit), Rob Scuderi (Pittsburgh), Ryan Suter (Nashville), Ryan Whitney (Anaheim)
Forwards: Backes, David Booth (Florida), Dustin Brown (Los Angeles), Dustin Byfuglien (Chicago), Ryan Callahan (New York Rangers), Chris Drury (New York Rangers), Scott Gomez (as of today, Montreal), Patrick “If This Guy Is 5-Foot-10 I’m German Chancellor Angela Merkel” Kane (Chicago), Ryan Kesler (Vancouver), Phil Kessel (Boston), Jamie Langenbrunner (New Jersey), Ryan Malone (Tampa Bay), Mike Modano (A Retirement Home For Finns…okay, Dallas), Kyle Okposo (New York Islanders), TEEEEJ, Zach Parise (New Jersey), Joe Pavelski (San Jose), Bobby Ryan (Anaheim), Paul Statsny (Colorado)
Overall I’d say a damn good squad. I would personally have liked to see Bogosian be on the defense list (mostly because I’ve hardly heard of Tom Gilbert) and one or both of the Buffalo pair of Connolly/Pominville, but I like the direction that Burke/Wilson is going. Especially Quick: I was mighty impressed with him in the few Kings games I saw this year and see more than a few comparisons with Richter.
It's a funny name.
