Popular Post scpa0305 Posted Monday at 12:25 AM Popular Post Posted Monday at 12:25 AM Zellers should be top 6 on this team. Nothing can convince me otherwise. Mooney on top pp did nothing but hold pucks way too long. He’s skilled, but again, doesn’t really play a team game. 5 Quote
Wilbur Posted Monday at 01:57 AM Posted Monday at 01:57 AM How do you not put Zellers on the squad after the chemistry he had withe Lee? I get its just Germany in an exhibition. Better test ahead with the Finns. Quote

With how his current season is going, now (that the whole hockey world is watching) is not the time to get cute with his roster/deployment. Last night was fairly obvious there was favoritism going on. 2 Quote

atxsioux Posted Monday at 03:21 PM Posted Monday at 03:21 PM Speaking of WJC coaches. If Canada somehow implodes again this year, I could think of a coach in Grand Forks with some Canadian ties to lead the team next year... (they'd never do it though) Quote

US is back to back gold medel champs and playing in front of MN crowd. I have low expectations from a Matzko lead team. Sad to say but Carle is the best coach in the country for this age group. 1 Quote

siouxfan512 Posted Monday at 04:19 PM Posted Monday at 04:19 PM I really used to like Motzko, but he has aged out. The guy is clown. We should be surprised at questionable decisions being made by a guy that has the Gophers where they are at despite being loaded with talent. I love to hate the Gophers but they are more fun to hate when they are either good or maybe slightly struggling ... seeing them sit at 8-10-1 and unranked is just sad .... especially since we dropped a game to them. Whomever said Carle is better for this age group is spot on. But USA hockey makes a lot of dumb decisions. 2 Quote
Wilbur Posted Monday at 05:59 PM Posted Monday at 05:59 PM I wouldn't mind to see Team USA rotate with Carle and Leaman. Its a lot to be away from your team with all that goes on in an NCAA season. Funny the two coaches that seem to have the least amount of success are Gopher Bob and #gobc heart throb Scott Sandelin. Got to but cuts on the way as we inch towards Christmas. Quote

cberkas Posted yesterday at 02:01 AM Posted yesterday at 02:01 AM With the state/USA Hockey using NCAA arenas for the except one for the preliminary games should be a good recruiting tool for the NCAA to get more euros. Quote

Anyway that was 9 years ago. I don't think he is the same coach now, that he was than. Anyway, I hope I'm wrong as i'd love for USA to 3 peat. Quote
