Prospective Recruits

Embarrassing...but it was the US JV squad, so that's positive.

The Canadian announcers fluffing their feathers...they know the U.S. doesn't send the top dogs...I guess they are just trying to make Canada hopeful after all their recent disappointments.  
 

the reality is COVID restrictions destroyed Canadian hockey.  Ontario is a full year behind, that's why western canada is leading the charge.  The kid who went #2 in the OHL draft was cut from NTDP....just think about that...he was at the 40 man and didn't make it.

Schultz and Pue are great and stack up great with the best US 2010's so no knock on them

Add this too.  The kid they tried get exceptional status for in this years OHL draft (Kade O'Rourke) spent the Covid years in Texas and is a US citizen

They didn’t show up. That team was much better than that.

I was frustrated last night and had a couple pops, but the reality is they sent their best and we didn't send Meyer or Fitzy or Nelson or Willis or Sears or Guitierrez.  The score reflects that.

100%. But Canada dominated them last night worse than they dominated Germany. I was frustrated with the showing as well as the score should have been much closer. The shot/possession disparity was embarrassing.

What was that, not a gold medal game regardless! We switched to banana ball 😊

Pre tournament you could kind of write the outcome with who Canada had and who didn't head north for USA.  I didn't have 8-1 on my bingo card, but I had the boys keeping it to a respectable outcome.
