I'm not a fan of Paul Martin's...

I think it would be cool if they had Justin Faulk as an extra... maybe something like this...

Ryan Suter - Jack Johnson

Ryan McDonagh - Kevin Shattenkirk

Brooks Orpik - Keith Yandle

Justin Faulk - Matt Carle

I think it would be wise to mix in some young guys with some older guys.

I just looked it up and they are allowed to carry 25 players. NHL teams can only carry 23. Both however can only dress 20. So I need to add 2 more guys to my list.

Just realized that R.J. Umberger can play both Center and Wing. I think his versatility gets him over Stafford. Both had same points last season, which was a low 18, but both were really good before last season. However, Umberger's stats look most impressive.

 

Also, I looked at the 2010 team on wiki and they had 3 goalies so I am going to add Quick and remove Legwand. I think Umberger's versatility is important even though Legwand has better stats as a center than Umberger recently.

Two men representing the greatest generation of American-born hockey players, a legendary collegiate coach, a female player who set the bar on an international level, and the architect responsible for giving hockey a hub in North Carolina are this year's inductees into the United States Hockey Hall of Fame.

 

The honorees, announced Thursday by USA Hockey, are former NHL forwards Bill Guerin and Doug Weight, former Michigan State University men's coach Ron Mason, women's international record-holder Cindy Curley, and Carolina Hurricanes owner Peter Karmanos Jr.

 

The 41st U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame induction dinner and ceremony will be held at a location and date to be announced in the near future.

 

The NHL's Lester Patrick Trophy, awarded annually for outstanding service to hockey in the United States, also will be presented during the induction ceremony.

Nike, ruining jerseys, one sport at a time. 

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

I actually really like those jersey's, the stars on the shoulders are a nice touch.

I know people tend to like "plain jane" jersey's, but with people becoming more talented in graphic design and with technology continuing to evolve; I see more modern jersey's being incorporate into the big four (NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB).

People will just have to adapt to that concept.

I like everything except the shield on the new jerseys. The shield looks horrible.

[The_Light_Brigade]

There's a white stripe on a white jersey for Christs sake.  And don't even get me started about this Nikelace poo all over the shoulders.  Yes the shield is horrible.  However the "Land of the Free, Home of the Brave" thing is pretty sweet.

I saw nothing wrong with these at all:
