The Puck Stops Here

Yesterday, I posted a hypothetical 2008 Canadian Olympic Hockey Team. Today, I will do the same for the Americans. This is the team of players who I would chose to represent USA if there was an Olympic hockey tournament right now:

Goaltenders
Rick DiPietro New York Islanders
Ryan Miller Buffalo Sabres
Tim Thomas Boston Bruins

Defence
Keith Ballard Florida Panthers
Mike Komisarek Montreal Canadiens
Erik Johnson St Louis Blues
John-Michael Liles Colorado Avalanche
Paul Martin New Jersey Devils
Brian Rafalski Detroit Red Wings
Ryan Whitney Pittsburgh Penguins

Forwards
Dustin Brown Los Angeles Kings
Erik Cole Edmonton Oilers
Chris Drury New York Rangers
Brian Gionta New Jersey Devils
Scott Gomez New York Rangers
Patrick Kane Chicago Blackhawks
Jamie Langenbrunner New Jersey Devils
Patrick O'Sullivan Los Angeles Kings
Zach Parise New Jersey Devils
Jason Pominville Buffalo Sabres
Brian Rolston New Jersey Devils
Paul Stastny Colorado Avalanche
Keith Tkachuk St Louis Blues

Reserves
Mike Modano Dallas Stars
Peter Mueller Phoenix Coyotes
Ryan Suter Nashville Predators

This is the US Olympic Team I would chose if they had to pick a team right now, assuming the same roster makeup as in the Turino Olympics.
