Goon Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) You know, since UND didn't have any players on the team, I only kind of been sort of interested this season. Obviously, I want team USA to win every year. Edited December 28, 2013 by Goon Quote

MafiaMan Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 UND players or not this is one of the best tourneys around. Indeed it is. I am impressed with the Czech team. Quote
Wilbur Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 Hide your valuables in Canada.....you don't lose to a team that hasn't medaled since 2005 or for that matter hasn't beaten Canada EVER as the Czech Republic. Quote
Siouxman Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 Ah...the comments on TSN were a great read. 1. Sutter sucks as coach 2. Patterson sucks as goalie 3. Sutter sucks as coach 4. The defense sucks 5. Sutter sucks as coach 6. The Canadian selection process sucks 7. Sutter sucks as coach 8. Eastern goalie loses it again, Canada can't win without a western goalie 9. Sutter sucks as coach 10. Why weren't ________, _________, and _______ on this team? 11. Sutter sucks as coach 12. Why do we have a team built for NHL size rinks playing on Olympic size rinks? 13. Sutter sucks as coach 14. Why do we let non-Canadians play in our leagues? and on and on and on and on. The interesting comment was that Canada is at a disadvantage to the U.S. because the NTDP has the U17 and U18 teams and has them playing NCAA programs so the U.S. players develop better because they are playing against older players.

The interesting comment was that Canada is at a disadvantage to the U.S. because the NTDP has the U17 and U18 teams and has them playing NCAA programs so the U.S. players develop better because they are playing against older players. I've always wondered why Canada hockey doesn't put together some type of U17 and U18 team that would travel all over the country and play teams from every league in the CHL. Heck, have them play teams from the BCHL too. Why not? I think the USDT has done worlds of good for hockey here in the United States. And you ask most kids who have been through the program about their experience and they have nothing but good things to say. Quote
jodcon Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 Indeed it is. I am impressed with the Czech team. What's funny is after the US beat the Czechs the talk on TSN was this Czech team is the worst in a long time. Oops. Quote
Rory Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 What's funny is after the US beat the Czechs the talk on TSN was this Czech team is the worst in a long time. Oops. Open mouth. Insert foot. Quote
MafiaMan Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 What's funny is after the US beat the Czechs the talk on TSN was this Czech team is the worst in a long time. That's only because TSN wouldn't dare give the USA any credit for their performance. Quote
Goon Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 UND players or not this is one of the best tourneys around. I don't know, I like the Stanley Cup the best... The Olympics with the NHL Stars is pretty friggen cool too. Quote
sagard Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 I've been way out of the loop. Is that the Don I see coaching team USA? What are the standings? Quote
jodcon Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 I've been way out of the loop. Is that the Don I see coaching team USA? What are the standings? Yep, tDon is da man. They're still in pool play, here's a link. http://www.tsn.ca/world_jrs/schedule/ Quote
sagard Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 http://www.tsn.ca/world_jrs/schedule/ Thanks! I hope Lucia still has something in the tank when he returns! 1 Quote

MafiaMan Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 I've been way out of the loop. Is that the Don I see coaching team USA? LOL! Hey, sagard, a couple of other hot scoops for you too: Yale is the defending national champion and your Gophers are part of the Big 10 Hockey Conference now. Quote
Wilbur Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 LOL! Hey, sagard, a couple of other hot scoops for you too: Yale is the defending national champion and your Gophers are part of the Big 10 Hockey Conference now. And we got these new fleece hats he should check out...... Things are falling apart on TSN......will Canada even show up to play Slovakia? Who could very well beat that team as well. If Canada loses to Slovakia, and then the U.S. beats them on New Years eve Canada may not make the final six..... Quote
Siouxman Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 It would appear that some character by the name of scpa0305 is on tsn.ca stirring the pot a little and putting in a plug for the U.S. college route. Well done. Quote
Wilbur Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 Its Sutter's first loss EVER as the Canadian World Junior coach and he's the wrong coach for the team. ~McDavid may as well stay in Sweden. ~Both goaltenders are horrible. ~Olympic rinks are stupid. ~All the best American players are in Canada playing. Loving the TSN website right now. Quote
scpa0305 Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 Being a bubble selection wasn't the issue raised by yzerman19...the claim was that Canada's top talent was almost blackballed by its hockey elite because he was a college recruit. I wanted some evidence to back that up. He actually explicitly noted "toewser" was almost blacklisted. In a subsequent post I gave you your evidence. Quote

Well done. I post on that site all the time. If you read many of their posts you know why I stick up for the talent in college hockey. Hopefully you weren't trying to bash me with your comment. Quote

scpa0305 Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 Not at all. Perfect, I totally get that the CHL is the top NHL feeder league but college hockey is a very tough league. All those Canucks simply think every good US player heads north. Quote
MafiaMan Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 I don't think he was ever considered on the "bubble" Canada was talking him up since he was 15. However I do remember when Chris Chucko wasn't even invited to the Canadian selection camp and he was a 1st round pick; that was sort of a big deal back then. That's your evidence? Quote
scpa0305 Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 That's your evidence? Sure it is. What other evidence could one possibly have? Quote
MafiaMan Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 Sure it is. What other evidence could one possibly have? Your evidence of Toews being blacklisted is Chris Chucko? That's the smoking gun? Quote
