jodcon Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Canada loses to Finland 3-2, grumbling starts on TSN. TSN is a good website to follow the tournament on though if you can ignore the US bashing, they follow it well...http://www.tsn.ca/world_jrs/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keikla Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Wow...Rocco's pretty hard on himself. Per Twitter: "I was the worst player on the ice today. I did absolutely nothing and that is unacceptable. That CAN NOT and WILL NOT happen again." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if he performs in the WJC as well as he has since blaming himself after personally "losing" that Friday DU game it could be a special tourney!

SiouxScore Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Maybe todays game made the staff rethink which guys to cut as they will not be announded today as was originally planned. Chris Peters@chrismpeters According to USA Hockey, cuts will not be announced until Sunday at 3 a.m. ET. It was planned to be annc'd today: http://worldjuniors.usahockey.com/news_article/show/205370?referrer_id=707994 … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I'll give Rocco a break. He scored a goal that the doofus official didn't see go in right in front of him....doesn't matter in the prelims anyways. If thats the goaltending the USA is going to get they won't improve upon their seventh place finish. Gibson was terrible. Not that a whole lot of guys played great. Gudreau had a lot of pucks hop over his stick in good scoring areas, and they missed the net on a lot of chances. Glad they start out with Germany. Get some players going.

To be honest with you, I have never thought that Gibson was that good of a goalie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jodcon Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 To be honest with you, I have never thought that Gibson was that good of a goalie. We've probably seen the last of Gibson, Sparks and Gilles both played well in the first game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

passit_offthegoalie Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Watching the replay....cant wait to see the third because i havent seen anything close to terrible out of Gibson so far. I thought so too. A lot of the goals were horrible screens and power plays and whatnot. I think Gillies and Gibson are both good options. The problem is that the skaters took too many penalties and didn't score enough. They really need to change something. Our best players weren't playing with any passion. That's probably why they pushed back the cuts, because they are telling the most talented guys that if they don't work their ass off, we will bring somebody with less talent that will.

If Gibson is the best option they're in trouble. Gord and Ferraro were both calling him the guy, and if he's the guy......ohh no.....

MissSioux85 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Rocco makes the World Junior team (no surprise there) Brady Skjei and Stefan Matteau were released. Team USA needs to cut one more defenseman before the roster is completely finalized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crb1 Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 I feel real bad for Matteau. NOT! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 The top line for the USA has got to produce. Miller-Gaudreau-Grimaldi. Way too much talent not to be a force on the score sheet. That line struggled a bit with the physicality that Finland threw at them, but they had a ton of chances that hopped over sticks. I bet Gaudreau may have burned his sticks. Lot of bad bounces for him yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geaux_sioux Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 couldn't happen to a nicer guy, too bad miller couldn't have been cut as well. Sure it sucked that he bailed, especially since he could have been an oshie type player, but you guys sound like gopher/bison fans with how bitter you guys are that they jumped ship. Move on, they're young kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move on, they're young kids. The problem with JT "Benedict Arnold" Miller is that he made a committment and then bailed right before the season. That is just two-faced, back-stabbing behavior. That being said, this is the World Junior Tournament and it's about Team USA winning whatever they can. If Miller can help them do that, then please keep him on the team.

AZSIOUX Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 I hope jt miller tears it up along with Rocco. All about team USA!! May be a tough path to medal and if they do, Rocco and JT have to have big tourneys all around. Couldn't care less about jt bailing at this point. Big deal, UND is just fine and he is going to have a nice pro career. Go USA! This tourney is always great to watch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope USA does well at this tournament. But it won't change my opinion on Miller. I'm glad he didn't come to UND. No room on the team for guys like that, no matter how talented they are.
