I'll put this here, trophy #1 down against a good Dartmouth team. Now they've won 4 in a row, nice little roll before getting 2nd half HE rolling.

Some good news as the powerplay was 3-7 this weekend
More kudos deserved for Doherty who leads the team in points & +/- at +17 by a healthy margin (McCoshen is 2nd at +11)

Santini skated in warmups but didn't play.

Congratulations to Brad Barone for getting his first two wins. What's most encouraging to me is that the team is playing much better defense. Let's see if they can go on a run now.

Tuch and Bracco are weird non invites. I think Fitz may not make the cut, but we'll most likely be without our leading scorer for a time during the tourney.

Crazy too to think that Hanifan and Eichel and Larkin are technically eligible for this too.

agreed re fitz & tuch

I hope usa hockey is smarter than to allow a slow 7 games to start the season as a cause. he was one of their best F last year in the tournament & imo they could really use the size (he would be the heaviest F by 20 lbs). oh well bc's gain

They aren't. USA Hockey is a very petty organization.

From what little I've read, Team USA seems to be emulating the World Cup of Hockey roster construction philosophy.

without knowing much i've heard the same, which isn't surprising given usa hockey

colin white had a goal and assist in the 6-1 killing of latvia, he's playing on the top line. cfitz had an assist. woll is starting tonight against slovakia (who is starting uconn's goalie) at 7:30

Woll was very good today and White is the best player on the team. Would still like to see Bracco crippled--maybe Canada can target him for Kunin's hit today.

agreed on all 3. woll is very calm in net. had no idea noah is still eligible for this tourney. shows how amazing what he did 2 years ago was, playing 25+ (and at times 30) minutes per night at 17.

tage thompson is better than i thought, maybe he just needs to play with competent players.

:flagus vs :flagca tonight

colin white had 2 goals last night in the semis

they've gone away from woll in the knockout round, wonder if they go back to him given that he's already beat Canada and it would be parsons' 3rd game in 4 nights :shrug

McAvoy is filthy. One of the best hockey games I've seen in a while. Shame it was a SO.

Why is it impossible to find the roster and box score for these events?

yeah sucks that these games are decided by a shootout (or 4 on 4)

maybe was the homer in me but thought woll was the better call in net but parsons had a hell of a night.

had to chuckle when bracco had an attempt to win the tournament

tournament championships in the 2010s:
USA 3
Finland 2
Canada 1
Russia 1
Sweden 1

OT last night was 5 on 5 for 20 minutes but was 4 on 4 for 10 minutes prior.

oh i know but 4 on 4 for 10 minutes and then shootouts in the knockout rounds is pretty dumb

Yeah my sleep schedule appreciated the hard stop but I could've watched those two teams play for a while longer. Great pace, great drama. The Bruins suckitude has helped me forget how terrifyingly awesome OT can be.
