Always nice to beat Canada! Really dumb play by DeBrincat with the spear even if the Canada player did sell it quite a bit. The U.S. defensemen were kind of shaky I thought Belpedio and Borgen were the best of the bunch. Still wish they would have taken at least a couple of the guys like Connor, Tuch, Garland, Roslovic, Bracco, and Keller as I thought a couple of those 4th liners really struggled today.

Yeah, agreed. Those nchc dmen looked good, especially Belpedio. I also agree with the end of your post too. I'll swap eansor, Hitchcock, and Macinnis for any of those guys you mentioned except Bracco. He didn't deserve it.

I thought Eansor played quite well- he was noticeable on some shifts

(Just noticed this item about there being zero Gophers on this year's team, sorry)

Zero Gophers is great news!  

There is a pretty strong negative correlation historically between USA success and the number of Gophers.  USA has won medals 67% of the time (2 of 3) when there's zero Gophers on the team.   When there's 2 or more, only 2 of 18 times (11%).

Two UND skaters is also a good omen - 50% (3 of 6 times) that USA wins a medal.  Only 2 of 12 (17% when there's no UND skaters).

(Statistics are for the past 30 years.)

And, yes, I'll be chatting in the office - about these statistics - with my friends who are Gopher hockey fans.

I noticed that as well. Didn't one of the last cuts involve a Gopher player, too? And yes they did.
