Are the United States regretting some roster snubs after two games? The question is on everyone's mind as the men's hockey tournament at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics unfolds. While the U.S. roster may be deep and complete, general manager Bill Guerin is facing criticism for his player selections. The snubs include Dallas Stars forward Jason Robertson and Montreal Canadiens forward Cole Caufield, both of whom are tied for third in the NHL with 32 goals this season. Canadiens defenseman Lane Hutson, who leads defensemen in points, was also left off the squad. After two relatively easy wins against Latvia and Denmark, the debate rages on. In the Daily Faceoff's USA vs Denmark Post Game show, hosts Shawn DePaz and Steve Peters discussed whether the United States are regretting some roster snubs after two games. Shawn DePaz raised the question, "How do you feel about the guys who are not in this lineup?" Steve Peters responded, "I know we talk about snubs. But every player at the Olympics is a good hockey player. The general manager made selections based on what he thinks will win. However, when you look at the offensive leaders in the NHL, it's clear that Caufield, Robertson, and DeBrincat are the ones leading the way. The fear is that without these top players, the team might struggle to score when they need it most. The debate continues as the tournament progresses, and the question remains: are the United States regretting some roster snubs after two games?
