Ben Bishop, Like, Totally Snubbed by TeamUSA - Raw Charge
WTF??????? LOL he's the best American born goalie on the planet and arguably in my opinion the best goalies in the league if not the best, seriously where is this team without him? There are more and more reports out that Howard, Quick and Miller will be the 3 goalies for team USA, we'll just have to wait for the official announcement after the Winter Classic but if so what a joke!!! Here's there numbers:
Bishop : 1.89 GAA .935 SV%
Miller : 2.69 GAA .927 SV%
Quick : 2.35 GAA .905 SV%
Howard : 2.76 GAA .906 SV%
Those stats aren't even remotely close, it's pathetic. This decision if true angers me, there's no way Bish should not be included on team USA. Past history shouldn't way into the decision but it obviously does based of the decision, it's all about now not about what happened last year or the year before, who gives you the best chance to win now. The 3 goalies representing team USA in Sochi should be Bishop, Quick and Schneider.
Moving on to a couple of roster moves, P.C Labrie was put on waivers signalling a return of Ryan Malone who should provide a much need net presence and some physicality upfront. Also Dimitry Korobov was re-assigned back to Syracuse signalling either or perhaps a return for both Eric Brewer or Sami Salo. Thank god we've got some bodies back for this Canadian trip we sure need it.
