Our 4th is looking pretty rough

This is good though, some other guys will get more advantageous shifts.

Agreed. But the kids from other countries are all playing. If they played tonight it would not affect anything....other than risking injury.

Is fabbro playing for BU tonight? All the other US boys are playing for their respective teams.

Jost not playing to prep for Canada camp? That's a first.

Interesting I thought the D played quite well last night night. Missed the last half of the third. Cam had some good looks at pucks.

Wilkie is solid. Snake bit as hell...but solid.

I'm so sick of these goals immediately after ours.

No, it happened prior to the UM series though. I believe it's his bottom (right) hand. He puts a ton of torque on the bottom hand to snap off his shot so hard.

I would be blown away if he wasnt ready by the WJC. It's one of the main reasons he came back. In saying that though, you'd think the WJC coaches would like to see him play prior to the tourney. I've read that Motzko wanted to make sure Keller got in a few games prior to the tourney (sounds like Keller may play tonight). I bet we see Boeser on Saturday night. If we don't this injury is probably worse than a lot of us thought.

Very true.....and Slovakia will get crushed this year. Maybe's always maybe.....but from what I hear he has a chance at the #3. I'm honestly hoping he plays though. Good kid.

Aapeli Rasanen (Sioux City) hopefully Berry is in full court press on this kid. He'll probably play for Finland's U20 team this WJC.

Well, UConn isnt that great of a school. Huska is a very good goalie and will be the starter. Slovakia has been down for a bit now.

From what I hear he has a pretty decent chance at the #3 spot. However him getting playing time will be pretty tough. Huska is awesome and was the starter last year. The backup is one of the top USHL goalies and a relatively high draft pick himself. I hope Tomek at least gets to go.

For goalies that's very high.

Second youngest on the team only to Jost.

Bo Hanson committed to St. Lawrence.

I think the reason he de-commited was the fact they didn't bring him in this year (similar to the Kawaguchi story). Once a kid de-commits they always say they are interested in said school....however they never end up actually going there.

Isaac Johnson - Des Moines Bucs

Not a chance. Haha.

I'm guessing that tournament was a pretty big reason why he decided to come back another year. That would stink if he wasnt able to play in it. The US should have a very solid crop this year. They may already be missing Keller (BU). Hopefully Shaw is back. We'll be fine; our speed should cause some problems for them.

Year and a half.

Those stats are ridiculous....especially for the dub. Philly has drafted a ton of goalies the past three years. The WJC is one of my favorite tournaments as well. Hopefully the US can get a gold this year. I'm also hoping to see the 3 Sioux players invited make their respective teams. Even though it may hurt us against Union.

N schmaltz sent down to Rockford

Nice post. So far this year Olson has shown flashes of being a pretty headsy player. A few passes he's made this year have surprised me. He's not a great skater at all but he can sure move the puck; he sees the ice well. That third goal cam let in was deflected.
