Well the US allows 3 oddman rushes in the 2nd and Canada scores on the 3rd one. Knight with the shorty gives the US life. Will Canada get tight?Wisconsin Hockey: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 WE WANT MORE!

Wasn't it the poster Chaffron, or something like that, who was so down on Canadian women's hockey? They seem to have overcome whatever was wrong with them.
And for Team USA, maybe it's time to let some of the older players move on to other things and go younger. And not just a token player or two that doesn't see the ice much.Last edited by FiveHoleFrenzy; 02-17-2022, 08:31 AM.At the outset, we could hang with the dude...

I thought the article on ESPN.com about "no silver lining, just a silver medal" was a bit mean spirited. Yes, there does appear that a small gap has developed between the US and Canada, but I'm not sure what the point of the article was other than to take a kick at the US Women's team less than 24 hours after losing gold medal game 3-2. They lost the prelim game 4-2 so I'm not sure I see the chasm that the article was insinuating.Steve

Knight is the oldest on the roster, and in four years she'll be 36 years old, so more likely than not won't be playing. But she was hardly the problem last night.
The next three oldest are Bozek, Decker and Kessel. Kessel had the other goal besides Knight's, and their AP article this morning was trying to sell the idea that if Decker had not been injured, the whole tournament might have ended differently. A plausible argument. They'll all be 34, more or less, next time.
After that come Rigsby-Cavallini and Coyne-Schofield. Then Hannah Brandt. Then Carpenter and Stecklein.
To come at it the other way, US had five players born in 1999 or later, Canada only two.

so not sure i get it...you centralize and pick your best team....then 2 of D hardly play after the round robin (1 min for #4) and #9 playing only 6:57 in the final. ...did you pick wrong? Means you mostly played 4 D. gotta have 6 D minimum to win a tournament like this. Compare to canada....7 D, 6 played in final game....with 6th playing 11+ min. all this time...pick people who can contribute the whole tournament. Dont pick younger players for experience if you are not going to play them. (apologies if all wrong and people were injured) .
Having said that...Congrats to our northern neighbors! it was fun to watch

Canada’s trust in its forward depth and young D was a thing to behold.
Troy Ryan is a head coach at I think Dalhousie in Canada, I know little about USports but have to imagine that program will climb. Because he did a great job, alongside Derraugh and Domenico.
Poulin ——- what on earth? Is there any comparable?

The US needs to get more defensive D that get the puck and move it quickly to the right spot tape to tape in the scheme to breakout, physically disrupt the opposing players in the D zone vs just being next to them and don't take too many chances on the other end, or really don't take any at all. I think the ratio of defensive to offensive D should be 4 to 2. Who would we call a pure defensive D on the roster from last night?Wisconsin Hockey: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 WE WANT MORE!
