Another brilliant post by peckerchecker. If you can't see or figure out why he has chosen to stay where he is then you really are as dumb as everyone here says you are. Being a D1 coach doesn't mean you're better or smarter than a D3 coach and vice versa, so D1 is not the end-all-be-all measuring stick, not that anyone expects you to understand that either.

Re: 2018 USA Olympic Women's Hockey Team
Agree with this; They got the agreement after winning a bunch of Worlds and gagging in the Olympics. Twice. So if the brass was going to make that argument about "not winning the big one" it was there to be made six months ago.....there's no reason they'd wait till after Feb. '18.
I think Carpenter's better than some of the players that will be on the team.....but I think they're so **** close to Canada that the game's going to be a coin toss anyway. After the last two they're due to get one bounce to go their way. And if they don't, it'll be because it wasn't their day against a really similar opponent...not because they weren't good enough or were sabotaged. I know that's a pretty luke warm thing but I think its accurate

Re: 2018 USA Olympic Women's Hockey Team
The view from 1399 miles away.......with all those BC players on that team, cutting Carpenter is a majorly provocative move.
Bozek with the Minnesota players is not like Carpenter with the BC players. It seems to me the BC players must be saying "Are you f...... kidding me?".
But I don't know, maybe I'm wrong.

Re: 2018 USA Olympic Women's Hockey Team
Let’s be frank about USAHockey and the women’s program, they don’t care. You guys talk about USAHockey making decisions as if they are some big committee of geniuses sitting behind the curtain making grand policy calls. Get real. All the the decisions about the women’s program are made by Regan Carey, a D3 player who got the job by virtue of saying “yes.” By all outward appearances she was the one who fired Ken Klee to take the team in “ a different direction.” I believe at the time he had won 3 World Championships, so I’m unclear what that new direction is. She replaced him with Stauber who has never been a head coach. USAHockey administration never gets involved unless the situation escalates and it makes them look bad. When the team threatened not to go to Worlds, USAHockey tried to replace them, as if finding a comparable talent pool was an easy thing to do. Think they got that wrong too. USAHockey was forced into an agreement and then tried to take credit for advancing the Womens game.
No one has made mention on why the Lams were missing from the roster for many of the Canadien series games as well as the boys games in Florida. Both the Lams and Bozak were suspended for “insubordination.” It might have something to do with the girls questioning the lack of a strength and conditioning coach and other promises not kept. That’s when Stauber decided to shake things up. He got called out in some way and acted like who he is, an individual who has no coaching experienced and marginal maturity. He channeled his U16 boys coach right down to the bag skates. Perhaps the fable of the emperor having no clothes is a fitting analogy. Stauber and the Lams, Smith and Granado, the parallels couldn’t be any more similar. Women aren’t allowed to have opinions and if they do, they will be put in their place.

And yet the Lams are on the roster. He could have cut them if he wanted; people were almost expecting to see them cut. So.... what?

Re: 2018 USA Olympic Women's Hockey Team
It pains me to say this but I do think the team is better with both of them on the roster.
Re: 2018 USA Olympic Women's Hockey Team
This is somewhat unrelated but I just saw a commercial with Monique and Jocelyn Lameroux sitting on either side of Hilary Knight arguing about what to watch on TV. It was a commercial for XFinity and the Winter Olympics. Knight eventually gets up and goes to another room to use her iPad. Somewhat amusing but I was thinking about the timing of the commercial given the roster announcement.

Yup, the first time I saw that commercial was the same day the roster cuts leaked. It definitely struck me as interesting timing
Sorry not recently. M Lam a forward playing D and its not pretty. They were essentially cut out of 4 Nations and team performed great without them. Coach Stauber put them together again on same forward line post 4 Nations to no success. Not sure of political angle but the Lams and many vets are non existent lately. Stop with the commercials and start leading. They are on the team and I will root for them hard but I question team USA Leadershio with recent showings vs. Canada. Szabados will be tough to beat no matter how Canada plays. The Lams can be difference makers. Lately they are the sideshow that is living on reputation and not current results. Take note: Carpenter and Bozek are the sacrifices this year and everyone on that team team is lucky it wasn't them based on post 4 Nation tourney hockey. GO USA!

And lets back up to try-outs when they cut Stack who did very well! Politics ? I think so

Team USA...Maybe they should look into Daryl Watts giving up her Canadian citizenship and becoming a US citizen.
She could provide the spark that energizes the US lineup.

So it seems that if the players win Gold it will be in spite if the poor coaching, not because of it. Not a surprise there. Goalie as head coach....ego (a fragile one at that)....Olympians....ego....who will win this battle of the egos?! Let's hope the players win out over him.

Re: 2018 USA Olympic Women's Hockey Team
The problems look to go beyond coaching and players. Cut down to a small roster early, then add players and have additional, late cuts -- what kind of leadership endorses such a knee-jerk process? If we are going to have more of a full-time national team that includes paying players a decent wage, it has to be run by someone who has a clue, no matter who is coaching for a given event.
Here we go again.....
That surely short circuit the selection process.
She’s not only faced but passed an impressive battery of tests this season.
Will it help the USWNT to be positive in the face of the negative posts?
I’m not sure. If they don’t know her already, they should probably meter soon.
Re: 2018 USA Olympic Women's Hockey Team
How could they not have seen her? She's by far the brightest bulb on the tree.
