Has Brock Nelson Found His Way On the Team USA Roster? What About the Lumberyard for Team Canada?

Olympic roster shakeups loom as fringe Colorado Avalanche players fight for a spot on Team Canada and Team USA. Can rising stars like Connor Bedard and Macklin Celebrini handle the pressure of representing Canada, or will seasoned veterans like Bo Horvat win out? Meanwhile, Brock Nelson’s surge could earn him a place with Team USA, raising questions about roster construction and the fate of standout talents like Jason Robertson.

 

Chris Micieli and Zach Pearson debate hot-button roster choices, goalie battles between Jordan Binnington, Mackenzie Blackwood, Scott Wedgewood, and Darcy Kuemper, and the Avalanche’s escalating impact on the Olympic conversation. Plus, they break down the latest NHL power rankings, evaluate recent team performances against the St. Louis Blues, Kings, Hurricanes, and Panthers, and spotlight Buffalo Sabres’ meteoric rise. Are the Olympics about experience or pure talent? The hosts tackle the drama as roster announcements approach.
