US Junior Team cuts

22 including 2 goalies.

Yup. 99% certain Morin never saw the ice then last night till the shootout.

Kind of interesting fall from grace for Jeremy, who was the leading scorer for much of the season last year for the 18U USA team. Now guys like Bourque, Ramage, Fowler, Palmeiri etc have surpassed him it would seem on the depth chart that were on the USA team last year.

Morin had a couple of shifts in the first period, and recorded a shot on goal.

According to the IIHF box score, he got 1 sog during the game, in the 1st period:

I'm not sure if Blais just shortened the bench after that, or if he just didn't get any more shots.

he had atleast one shift alongside kreider in the second.. that was the only time i saw him as i missed the first period.

Re: US Junior Team cuts

I'm late to this thread, but a couple of thoughts after watching a very entertaining game last night:
1) The USA forwards really made Canada's defenseman look like a bunch of Hal Gill's.
2) There is no Danny Kristo in team. Sure he finished, but talk about a me player! Goals were left out there because this kid doesn't pick his head up.
3) The last 10 minutes or so of the 3rd - not sure if the USA sat back or Canada just decided to step it up, but Wow! I really thought the USA dictated play for the first 50 mins or so.
4) Canada's 1st goal was weak. Campbell has to be better poised and know where his teammates are under those circumstances. Give away goals are inexcusable at that level and in that moment if you want you come out on top

Here's hoping for a rematch in the Gold Medal Game!

Re: US Junior Team cuts

Well at least its something to build on. Not much was really expected from the U.S. this year (I believe they are setting themselves up for next year where they return key players) and just by given Canada a game was a sort of victory in itself. You are right though, Canada finds a way to win even when they don't play their best game and the U.S. seems to find a way to lose even when things are going their way.



Guess your real easy to fool jack***.

Good for Minesooota, but in the larger hockey world H.S. hockey means jack****. The point here is that the W.J.C. is at a whole other level in terms of importance to the players, scouts, NHL GM's and so forth.

just go away. find the CHL thread and rip on NCAA. ******cougar

Wow-what an insightful contribution to this thread.

TSN apparantly has this game on V.O.D. but can we access it from the States? I know I couldn't last year and everytime I go to their site this year my computer freezes up.....think I'm going to have to check my java settings and all that.

Re: US Junior Team cuts

So I would assume Mike Lee is on the bench the rest of the tourney?

Ramage and Lashoff have done nothing. Have not impressed the scouts.
Fowler, stud++
Palmeri, ok at best
Bourque, runs around but avg
Moore is far superior to Ramage and lashoff
Morin, sniper but cant skate on big rinks

Oh pooooor little puppppy girl.....listen hon, either play or shut the **** up. You want to trash talk with me in your rep but can't take it back...then just go away. If not, expect more of the same.

I typically try to avoid stuff like this, but is this really necessary? Ever considered being a gentleman? I realize the concept will fall on deaf ears, but I had to put it out there.

Ramage was awesome last night.

Lashoff has played well in my opinion.

I am watching it again right now on nhl network and ramage has been mentioned about 4/5 times for making mistakes
he and lashoff have not been good

Honestly thought that Ramage was the best defensive defensemen on either team last night. He deserves to be on this team. Lashoff was one of the few very physical players the U.S. had last night and really kept those small Canadian forwards looking back all the time.....he was another good pick in my opinion.
