Re: US Junior Team cuts
But now imagine for a second that they assume that, let up, and the following happens:
The US loses to Slovakia, but then beats Canada. All 3 teams are 3-1, and Canada misses out on the medal round by 1 or 2 goals in goal differential because Slovakia and the US ran up the scores in their easy games while Canada cut themselves off at 6 or 7 goals. Far-fetched? Yes, but just imagine how ape-sh*t Canada would go if that ever happened. I have no problem with running the score up in tournaments like this.
