Yes, I haven't seen him in any box scores for some time now.

I am still so confused...

You are obviously not a big hockey fan then. By Rocco missing two games against HC...I don't think that will cost us a Naty. We'll be just fine...the US needs him...he'll be back strong against the Czechs.

Haha

No worries, I saw him yelling on the bench and while he was coming off the ice. Sorry, maybe I should not have said "losing it" but he was visibly yelling. I have heard from some pretty decent sources that Rocco is pretty hard on himself, maybe he got carried away with the emotions of a US vs CAN game. I know he hates losing; I'm guessing he did something that Phil didn't like because he definitely was sat and he was definitely one of their best players against both RUS and CAN. He'll be back next game.

I thought Grimaldi was the best US player against both RUS and CAN....I did see him lose it on the bench a few times. I figured he was trying to pump up the players....he obviously went a tad too far. As for Seth Jones...besides the Germany game I thought he has been one of the weaker defensemen on their team.

Weird.

Seth jones has looked below average so far against plus competition.

If CAN scores the next goal it could get ugly quick.

Messy.

Don't worry....he must be a gopher fan right?

I thought the US outplayed RUS for all but a few shifts and then the last 10 minutes of the game. The refs were extremely inconsistent, however, the US should have capitalized on some of those early chances. That RUS goalie played very well.

I was very irked at the time....and through the entire year. After I heard some things about him from some kid that played on his development team I knew he would have never been a "Sioux-guy". I differ from your stance on one and done guys as they truly are a marketing tool for the program, however, they must be team players while they are here. Miller would have never been a team player because he plays for himself only.

Edit: no I am not a fan of his but it makes our program better when high profile players consider us....either way we always have stacked teams.

Ok we need to let the miller bashing go....in all I think we're better off without him. I heard from a great source that at some US summer camp he was cocking off about how he would sign with any team if given the right deal. He wasn't coming all along. He didn't even play for his ohl team this year because he thought he was too good....hes playing in the ahl as a result. Hopefully he plays good during this tourney because the US needs all they can get this year with the lockout loading the Canadian and Russian teams.

True. Gopher fans like to think they are better because a large % of players come from MN while ND fans think they are better due to more championships.

I totally agree....it's so good for the community. Anyways, I'm hoping for a better second half out of Johnson.

Nope whipping out his goofer and taking a leak in front of 100 people....including two cops. And yes, he was crushed.

After seeing him play....I would be blown away if he wasn't an impact player. He is way too smart on the ice, plus he has a long way to go as far as maturing...from what I can see. I really hope he plays juniors for the next two years.

Haha yeah right...I saw him play a few weeks back, he is awesome. Three things I noticed: 1. Kid has sick vision; 2. super dangles; 3. the sauciest passes I have seen in high school since some Baron kid that played for LOW.

No way!

yes.

See my previous posts...they have also been up and down for the past 10 years...but yes you are correct, they did have those back to back ones.

This may run some people wrong but he has actually stepped it up over the past month. He actually should be still playing in the OHL but decided to play up.

Haha I like it. My great grandfather played for one of those amateur teams in the early 1900s and they actually used to beat und quite consistently.
