Read: Team USA Projections

by Adam Rotter on December 31st, 2009 at 2:42 pm

Islanders Rangers HockeyUSA Hockey will announce its roster for the 2010 Olympic Games tomorrow during the Winter Classic between the Flyers and Bruins.

At ESPN.com Scott Burnside and Pierre LeBrun list who they think will make team USA.

Burnside puts both Chris Drury and Ryan Callahan on his team while LeBrun just picks Drury.

….Them both picking Drury was surprising to me but he appears to be the elder statesman among that group that has been picked. Its not out of the realm of possibility that Drury is named Captain if he is picked, he could certainly be an alternate captain. Then again, I had figured Drury wouldn’t make the team and instead rest up for the post Olympic stretch run.

Callahan should make the team. He is the one guy that works hard night in and out for the Rangers and he is a clear favorite of John Tortorella who is an assistant coach for the team.

Other than that, I like the way the team looks. With Ryan Miller in goal, this team could contend for a medal.
