redwing77 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Frazee and Zatkoff as the Goalies. Gosh, I know Frazee can be better than he's displayed at Minnesota thus far, but I can't help but think he's teetering on the brink. Say what you will about Montoya or even Schneider, but they've shown more at the same point in their "careers" than Frazee thus far. Zatkoff is a total unknown. That being said, I expect Frazee to be the starter. I really think Goaltending is the weakness for Team USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeypat15 Posted December 6, 2006 Author Share Posted December 6, 2006 No sioux as any forwards but UMTC has 5 players Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxforeverbaby Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 Okposo, Stoa, and some other guy that I didn't recognize from Minnesota, and Jack Skille from Wisconsin. Is Skille really still eligible? How old is he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxforeverbaby Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 never mind, I figured it out. he is like 19 for another couple of months. I guess I thought he had been around for longer than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a very likely scenario as team Canada returns five D-men and six forwards from last years team as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Ranger Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 How about the omission of Bobby Ryan. He was on last years team and was the second overall pick a few years ago. I am guessing the Ducks aren't too happy with his progress so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagard Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 That is a very likely scenario as team Canada returns five D-men and six forwards from last years team as well. Have the pools been drawn yet? If the US and Canada are in the same group again, I don't think they will meet in the finals. Beating two straight European teams in Sweden just to get to the finals could be tough for even mighty Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, I anticipate Lee and Chorney will be back sooner than usual. or should that be I honestly don't know if rooting against the USA or hoping that they fall out of the medal contention is a good thing despite getting them back early?

Come on. They had all of Vancouver rooting against them last year, throw them a bone. We will see how intimidating the Canadians are when they don't have large crowd support like they have had the last two years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will see how intimidating the Canadians are when they don't have large crowd support like they have had the last two years. The three big hitters from last year Bourdon, Staal and Downie are back and ready to sit Ogopogo on his behind. I wonder if Cheapshot Jack (Johnson) will get a little bit of payback chin music from Downie. I believe you personally have had a close enough look at Canadian players to know that they aren't intimidated by Minnesotans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you personally have had a close enough look at Canadian players to know that they aren't intimidated by Minnesotans. Downie was a cheap little weasel the whole game ... wait, the whole tournament, last year. I have no respect for him after what I saw last year in Vancouver. You can claim him, we don't want to. He got what he deserved, then took a dive to make it look like JJ cheaped him. Looked very European, actually. Personally, I do hope the two meet again. Who's Downie's protector this year? He can't take care of himself, except from behind. Face to face Jack Johnson would kick his ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Face to face Jack Johnson would kick his ass. I'm agreeing with you SportsDoc. I'm no fan of Downie, he was skate to skate as cheap as any player I've ever seen. The difference between Downie and the cheapest player I've ever seen live (Alexander Ovechkin- Twice) is that AO actually has more to his game than Downie. Jim Dahl and Caps fans- AO has improved dramatically since he's turned pro. He didn't dive at all the one time I saw him at the MCI Center. He even scored a goal.

I don't know how you diagnose a concussion without a brain, but OK, if you say so! Of course I loved Prpich, he was our guy. No one else liked him, same here. You think players and fans of any other WCHA team liked Prpich? Downie, he's your guy. You can like him. We don't have to, and I don't. Game on Canadia!!
