I hope all three get invites. I think Zucker is a lock, Shore is a maybe and Mayfield is a maybe to make the camp or team.

I hope DU can compensate in those games where Team USA guys are missing.

hey, slapnuts, I'm not really sure what you are babbling about. However, Zucker, N Shore and Mayfield were all invited. Isn't it time to re-up on your meds?

Dg, your blog fans lack as much hockey sense as you do. They were happy that Jaden got left off the USA roster.

News flash...........wrong f##king country.....one word...WOW!

My concern is that Jason is playing through some injuries right now and not telling anyone. What if he goes to this camp and gets screwed up even moreso.....and then comes back here for the end of the season....with a potential really bad injury.... I don't like the idea of him going, period.

Playing for Team USA is a far bigger deal for these guys than playing college hockey.

DU's schedule in January: Alabama Huntsville, Bemidji & UAA. Plenty of opportunities to rest Zucker if need be.

Yea..good point. He should pass on representing his country against the best talent the world and stay home and play college hockey..........wtf?

See previous posts on hockey IQ on this blog.


Dg......you need to raise the bar around here.

You need to raise your intuition level 5:20. The person who made reference to Schwartz being left off of the team USA roster is an idiot and not a DU fan.

It's about the 50th time that the slapnut in question has made reference to it and I've corrected him every time.

His dedication to that lame-ass joke is incredibly pathetic.

Why would Team USA want Zucker? Wasn’t Gwoz supposed to sit Zucker down because he was performing so badly? ROFL!

I assume this means he will miss the entire SCSU series?

Zucker will be playing in the SCSU series and Ryan Kennedy of The Hockey News tweeted that based on the USA Hockey teleconference comments JayZ is the likley captain of the team.
