brianvf Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 So are we still considered a young team if we lose to a bunch of 17/18/19 year olds who have practiced together less than a week? When they're the best 17-19 year old players in the nation...yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siouxdonyms Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Kristo with an ENG. Good test for Team USA of how to defend a lead. They have some good speed this year. Not sure if they can compete with Canada or not, but we'll see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Whistler Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 At times tonight we looked real fast and were dominating the game against the really good kids. That's the positives. The downside is the the flogging puck never goes into the net. Gotta learn to finish guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goon Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Here is the way I look at it. The Fighting Sioux just played the best American players aged 17-20 in Hockey and did well against them for three periods of hockey. Not to mention we had three of our better players out of the line up as well. Lots to be possitive about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianvf Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 Fowler on the USA team really impressed me. Heck of a shot from the point on the PP, and played very well defensively. Notre Dame missed out on a great player there. Stepan seemed to play well too, I noticed him a lot more tonight than I did during the UW series.

siouxweet Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I wasn't able to watch the game last night-any positives going into the holiday tournament? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 This is a positive for later, but twice during the game a USA player made a dynamic move, swooping in and grabbing a puck that looked like it was closer to 50/50, and I thought: "who is that!?" and it was Kristo both times. Of the newer guys, I think Fienhage continues to look better all the time. In fact, each of the six regular defensemen made good plays last night that I noticed. Trupp was obviously good; there's a little more space in an exhibition, and he looks good in space. Cichy is getting closer. On the downside the PP rarely got set up; they're dying for a QB.

brianvf Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I wasn't able to watch the game last night-any positives going into the holiday tournament? I don't think UND looked too bad against the nations best U20 team considering that three of their best players were out. PP still looked disorganized at times aside from a U20 defensive breakdown on the Trupp PP goal (both Trupp and Malone were essentially 2 on 0 in front of the goalie). It was great to see Trupper have a great game, his backhand goal with 50sec left with a snipe to the glove side. Fienhage had a good game, laying some big hits. Aside from his misplay on the 3rd USA goal, I think he played well. It'll be a tough decision for Hakstol once Genoway comes back. I think both Eidsness and Dell played well and made some good saves. The goal that BE let in was just a great tip right in front that he had no chance on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetch Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I thought U20 looked good - very balanced - not a lot of superstars but a bunch that look the same - they should do well our guys need to learn how to finish - have confidence when the opportunities present themselves are we going to get to see many of the games ? ? ?
