Agreed. LaCombe will definitely play. He's a bit iffy in his own zone however last night was easily his best game. Prior to last night he was definitely the liability on this team. With the offensive defenseman in the lineup...Kleven definitely should play. He has also looked very good in limited minutes, clearly there's more at play here. Again, LaCombe is a very good dman, he's just not playing very well right now. Hopefully last night's good game carries into tonight for him.
One of the players we don't seem to hear a lot about is York. His point totals are good but holy moly is he a liability in his own zone. I noticed it earlier in the tourney but I'm almost positive he was out there for every goal last night.
If the US plays like they did the past two games I'm sorry...the Canadians will throttle us.
