No. It usually laughs and points.

When I speak the hockey world listens.

Come one, jk, we really shouldn't mention the successes and achievements of Sioux players without giving Frazee due credit for his part.

Gopher fans might think Frazee should be an MVP candidate but I can't imagine where the US team would have finished if it wasn't for Lee and Chorney.

Congratulations to the US team. I wouldn't have given them much chance after the first two games. In fact, I kind of thought we'd be having our D back for CC. Nice recovery for the US team.

That was a nice deke by Chorney to get himself some room to make the pass over to EJ, and a great shot by EJ for that goal.

I'm pretty sure I'm never going to get into a public written pissing match with PCM on a subject he's passionate about.

Didn't Stafford have a lot of trouble with that last year? But Tim probably would have named him.

Slap Shot, I'm just curious where Jason Blake fits in here.

I admittedly am not that familiar with many of the players on the US team. Anyone else surprised that Jack Johnson was one of the 3 shoot-outers for the US? I would have guessed there would be another forward chosen. He did fine, though.

No no. I know the rules and all that. Just not my preference.

I enjoy watching shoot-outs in NHL games, but would hate to see a tournament game of this quality decided that way. Who's going to make the first mistake?

Could that have been sort of a "make-up" call for the US cross-check in front of the net that went uncalled?

Canada has just missed on too many chances through the first 2 periods in the short periods I've checked in. You just know the US needs to find the net at least 1 more time this period to win, and I'm not counting ENG.

US team seems to be taking a chance here and there. Last one resulted in a 2 on 1 rush for Canada. Too close...

Well, we know it can't be BEFORE your time.

Looks like they gave credit to Chorney for the goal.

Golden opportunity for Canada to score on that PP. Deflected puck sitting at the open side of the net but somehow Frazee gets over on time.

US player did some nice dangling in the offensive zone on the PP, but got a little too pretty up near the blue line and coughed up the puck for a great scoring chance SH for Canada. Frazee held his ground, fortunately.

Geez, I went to Bonzers....

From what I've picked up reading posts on the BCHL board Rawlings is having, or was having, a pretty average season, resulting in being traded from Salmon Arm.

It wouldn't bother me as much as what you said earlier.

Whoa whoa whoa. That's over the line.

I'd like to see a sweep, and it may be necessary for tourney hopes. Right now I'd be happy with a split, and 2 well-played games. To me, at least that would show the Sioux are on track.

Well, that sheds some light on a couple of previous arguments on this board. When you read that article, you again realize what a prize J Toews is.
