AZSIOUX Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 Phil Housley is head coach. It's he a HS coach?? Also grant potulny is assistant. Interesting coach selections Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Lots of talent on that roster. Not going to lie, I know zero about the goaltending. Which we have seen make team USA (Campbell, Goepfert), or kill them (Thomas Fricken McCollum......) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Ranger Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I'd call the US team full of talent, but then I saw Canada's roster... Yep not even close when comparing to Canada's roster. Canada will be filled with a roster full of players that would be playing in the NHL and some that already have. I think this World Junior tourney will very much resemble the 2005 tourney that was in Grand Forks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watchmaker49 Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 No college players this year for the Canucks. What a prelim roster, Jesus And only 5 QMJHL players. That I find interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jodcon Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I'd call the US team full of talent, but then I saw Canada's roster... I think they are a little butthurt about losing 3 in a row and want to win this one badly. More reason to cheer against them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
as15 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 On Canada's prelim roster, there are 8 players with NHL experience. I don't want to sandbag already, but this tournament is Canada's to lose (as usual). Hopefully the lockout ends to help even up the playing field a little.

J.B. Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Hopefully they get this lockout figured out soon. Some of those NHL experienced players may no longer be elegible depending on their respective clubs decision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZSIOUX Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 @TSNBobMcKenzie: USA may have two sons of CAN pros as 4th line size/strength. Stefan Matteau (BB/NJD), son of Stephane. Tyler Biggs (OSH/TOR), son of Don. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZSIOUX Posted December 18, 2012 Author Share Posted December 18, 2012 @mike_morreale: U.S. coach Phil Housley said he liked the enthusiasm exhibited by the line of Grimaldi, JT Miller, Gaudreau during camp. #2013wjc @TSNBobMcKenzie: John Gibson (KIT/ANA) starts as the No. 1 goalie. Jon Gillies (PC/CGY) and Garret Sparks (GUE/TOR) will battle for the backup role. @SchlossmanGF: RT @TSNBobMcKenzie: Top line likely JT Miller (HFD/NYR) between John Gaudreau (BC/CGY) and Rocco Grimaldi (UND/FLA).

brianvf Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 All USA games will be on TV live on the NHL Network! I love watching this tourney every year.

Clghckyfan Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Rocco and Gaudreau on the line are going to give team fits. Will be fun to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZSIOUX Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 Chris Peters@chrismpeters Scratch that. 11 forwards 7 defense. Grimaldi, Gaudreau, Miller, Trouba, Jones are the scratches. All locks for Team USA. #2013WJC The line of Rocco gaudreau and miller could be something to watch! Now that's big time talent. Wow. Funny 3 of these 5 have UND ties. Jones and trouba are as good as it gets on the blue line. Depth may hamper USA. Go Rocco, go USA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZSIOUX Posted December 20, 2012 Author Share Posted December 20, 2012 @USAHockeyScores: Forward lines for #USAWJC Galchenyuk-Kuraly-Lucia; Vesey-Trocheck-Biggs; Pietila-Bardreau-Hartman; 10th & 11th F are Matteau and Barber @USAHockeyScores: Defense will be Sieloff-Reilly; Gostisbehere-Skjei; McCabe-Murphy; and Grzelcyk. #USAWJC Sparks starts and Gilles backs up in net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
