Questionable call too, as we got hooked into the goalie.

Killed it luckily. We're getting outshot 43-22, but oh well. 1:45 left.

Just got another, 6-2. This scoreline will be deceptive.

Re: US Junior Team cuts
Was it just me or did we seem to lose steam (much like against Canada) as the 3rd period wore on?

Yeah the last 14 minutes or so were pretty poor. Hopefully they got that out of their system because the Swedes or Canadians would've killed us.

Re: US Junior Team cuts
Swedes are going to be very tough as they have a super skilled team. The U.S. will have to bring their A+ game. They also better start Campbell too!

Re: US Junior Team cuts
Yeah, I only caught the last 10 min or so, and was not impressed with Lee at all. But then I saw he had over 40 saves on the night?
Granted, if he was giving up rebounds all game the way he was in those last 10 min, 15-20 of those 40 saves came as a result of his own play.

Re: US Junior Team cuts
how can a goalie play terrible and make 42 save out of 44 shots must have been doing something right!!!

Re: US Junior Team cuts
No kidding. I just watched the replay of the third period and counted 19 saves by Lee--many difficult ones. And he stopped all the rebounds (about 3 of the rebounds resulted in second shots). Lets see, the announcers said he was a difference-maker in this game, and he was named Player of the Game.
Throw him under the bus my ***.

Well, he didn't stop ALL the rebounds
I have no idea how he looked for the first 50 minutes, but those last 10 he was leaving the puck in some pretty dicey places.

Re: US Junior Team cuts
I think it was more of a case of lack of finishing from the Finns than anything else......Lee had terrible rebound control and had to be bailed out on numerous occasions by the D. The Swedes will be a much tougher opponent and I would just feel more confident with Campbell in net.

Re: US Junior Team cuts
Considering they've rotated every game, Campbell probably will play the Swedes, but Lee could get the following game unless Campbell is unreal.
Besides, I'd rather have his rebound control be a bit off and have his D bail him out as they should rather than his positioning be off completely where no D in world can really help you. (McCollum last year)

Re: US Junior Team cuts
Switzerland seriously beat Russia?
Could the Canadians get an easier cakewalk to the finals?
Now that loss against Canada steams me even more because we would have been in that position while Canada would have had to run the gauntlet of Finland, Sweden, and then the US in the finals.
Granted, I know Switzerland has Conz (arguably the best goalie in the tourney) but come on...does anyone honestly think Canada won't win this game 7-1 or something along those lines while the Russians most likely would have given the Canadians a much better game.

Re: US Junior Team cuts
The Russians looked off the entire tourney, so even though they may have superior talent over the Swiss, they most likely wouldn't have given Canada much more of a game or had a better chance.
In a one game situation, anything can happen. Go Swiss!
