In this episode of Invested in Hockey, Eric and Anthony are joined by special guest Andrew Murray to break down the confirmed rosters for the upcoming Four Nations Faceoff. The trio dives into bold predictions, ranking the teams from 1st to 4th, and debating which players deserved their spots and who were the biggest snubs. Highlights include Seth Jarvis’ surprising inclusion on Team Canada after missing the World Juniors four years ago, and William Eklund’s shocking exclusion from Team Sweden despite his 70-point pace this season. Eric also shares strong opinions on the controversial cut of Patrik Kane, calling it disrespectful to one of the greatest American-born players of all time. The episode also features an in-depth discussion on starting goalies. Will Connor Hellebuyck split time with Jake Oettinger, or will he carry the load and play every game for Team USA? The team dives into all the possibilities and what this means for the Americans’ chances, especially given their roster's combined three Stanley Cups — the lowest of all four teams.
