That was a real nice goal for Ghost. His quick release from the point never ceases to amaze me. It's real fun to have one of our own participating in the World Juniors after all these years of watching players from other schools.

If he ends up making the final cut, hopefully you get to claim "Anything you can do..." at the end of the tournament. At this point, it doesn't matter the school, we're all (or at least most of us are) wishing well for USA Hockey.

The US team to me looked a lot better than last year's group, at least from what I could remember. I have to keep reminding myself that these are 18 and 19 year olds. Their skill level, speed and size are impressive. There were a bunch of NHL first rounders out there on both teams. Ghost always plays with a lot of confidence and he certainly appeared to be up to the task. The game winner was a beauty. If he does make the team and it goes deep into the tourney, he's going to be exhausted when he does return. Go "U"SA!

This kid sounds like the real deal. I imagine there will be a bit of apprehension until he actually shows up on campus in the fall of 2014. Expectations for him will be high but it is tough for first year's to jump right in and score prolifically...just look at Laliberte last year who struggled somewhat and our freshmen this year. It probably takes at least a half season at the D1 level to get it into gear.

Anything's better than last year's team; heck, they went to relegation!

Not necessarily. One thing to remember with Laliberté is that he also had an injury early in the season. Some people are able to make the transition quickly. Look at Keith Kinkaid. I would also say that Ghost isn't having transition woes, either. Consider any player that turns pro (true pro, not just going over to MJ) after one year as well. They had to have been doing something right to be called up by the pros that quickly.

I think goal scorers have the longest transition period and that was what I was referring to though I didn't say that.Even Ghost took a couple of months until he started to come on in his first season.

A medical issue with an undisclosed player has temporarily delayed the announcement of the final US World Junior Championships roster.
The roster was slated to be cut from 26 to 23, but only two cuts have been made so far: Brady Skjei and Stefan Matteau. The third and final cut will be a defenseman as Team USA GM Jim Johannson says the final group of forwards and goaltenders is set.
The roster must be finalized within the next couple days as the tournament begins on December 26th in Ufa, Russia. Team USA opens a day later at 9 AM ET against Germany.
