"Not at all. I know what the team is. To me it's not a distraction. I think Phil Kessel knows pretty well and probably Mike Komisarek knows they're probably on the team. They've been talked to a lot about it.

I think pretty much everybody on our team knows who's going, you're just waiting for an official announcement."

I’m glad Komi’s going, I know that his spot on the team wasn’t ever seen as a lock.

So now that's

Komisarek, Kessel, Grabovski, Kaberle, Hagman, Gustavsson…

Our top two D, three of our top-6 forwards, and our top goalie. Gustavsson probably won’t play much unless Lundqvist get’s hurt. If he does, I hope he plays well. I’m a bit worried about the other 5 though. This likely means the Leafs will be a bit more crappy down the stretch… just saying.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about the Leafs.

Unless the Olympic flame happens to light a fire under their asses.

…to light a fire under their asses.

Considering that the Olympic torch looks like a joint, I doubt it.

Considering how he’s playing right now, I wonder if Blake will get a strong look. He’s digging hard and skating hard, that’s what the USA will need to compete.

Stepniak may also have an outside shot, just because he plays for the Leafs

I think the americans are way too deep to even consider Blake or Stepniak.

Blake maybe due to his speed and willingness to play on the lower lines chipping in with offence (unlike the strict lower line guys), but Stempniak has almost nil chance.
