Team USA -Men

stomped Canada 5-1 this morning. Gaudreau collected 2 more goals and now has 7 in his last 3 games

He could have had 3 if he had just buried that backhand in the 1st period after a sick move around the defenseman.

US will go for gold against the winner of Russia/Sweden Saturday morning at the reasonable 8 AM.

Edit: Words cannot describe how important this tournament is to the Canadians. Easily front page of the paper and lead story on their SportsCenter. And to get thumped by the Americans when Canada has some NHLers

The top 3 headlines on tsn.ca are: "No Excuses", "Total Domination" & "Inconceivable"

Johnny Hockey!

His linemate, Rocco Grimaldi, is a nifty player for fighting souix.

Johnny looked really good on the 1st period. Not as many chances in the 2nd so far..

Really hoping this performance by Johnny leads to the confidence boost that we saw in kreider last year.

2-1 US

Last 7 goals by college players

Edit: how awesome is it that Canada didn't even medal

The music during the presentation ceremony is right out of a cheesy '80's montage.

Gaudreau was all over for the first two periods. His stick was a magnet for the puck and was pretty scrappy in the corners. Disappeared a little bit in the third as the US was protecting the lead but that's more because of the system.

Grimaldi was a defensive stud in the third. Really came away impressed with that part of his game.

Johnny did not win best forward. Nugent-Hopkins from Canada won that. Johnny did land on the All Tournament team. Great performance, and he is much needed in Chestnut Hill.

He was voted one of the top 3 players for the US along with Gibson and someone else I'm forgetting. That was the thing towards the end when he got the watch.

That is why I was confused. Glad it's all cleared up that JG is still a beast no matter what it was.

Believe Jacob Trouba of Michigan

USA had some talented D on that team

Yes that is correct. He was I believe the 9th pick in the draft last year. Given that Jones will probably go 1 or 2 next year, all of the D save for Reilly were drafted in the 1st or 2nd round, so I certainly do agree.

Any one know much about this kid Jack Eichel? USNTDP player, MA native and BU commit. Wonder if BC went after him at all or if York shied away figuring the kid is a 1-and-done prospect. I mean, why else would someone play for the rat dogs over Sir Jerry York and the best team in the country?

[flyingelvii]

Just from reading the description and having no other knowledge of him otherwise, I'd be surprised if he actually makes it to school, especially given the fact he's already 6'1", 190 at age 16.

[claver2010]

Instincts are right Elvis.

He was a 1st rounder in the Q draft last summer: http://thechronicleherald.ca/sports/105462-eichel-not-decided-on-halifax-yet. Odds are he doesn't show up on campus, if he does it'll be for a year or so.

Difference between the high draft picks a BC and BU is that York gets them to stick around for 3 years.
