US National Teams: U30s & Mrs. Potter, U22s, U18s Part II

Re: US National Teams: U30s & Mrs. Potter, U22s, U18s Part II

Like I've said many times. You could have 4 teams from the US and Canada and have closer games and much better competition. The only time these games are even close is when there is an outstanding goalie performance while still being out shot 3-1. I'd rather watch college hockey.

The usual Canadian 'hockey is life' know-it-alls are kinda quiet today....Wonder why? If hockey is life...somebody must have died.

Well, it is a preliminary-round game of a summer tournament, so I doubt that anybody is slitting their wrists over this result.

Agree 100%...Doesn't mean a whole lot, but if the score were reversed, something tells me there would be plenty of chirping from the usual schmiggeggies.

Check the CDN line up...notice any Olympians missing? Canada uses these little nothing tourneys to give the "up-and-comers" some experience. Nuf said. ;)

:rolleyes:

Knew it wouldn't be long before we heard this hackneyed, tired old statement. :rolleyes:

Several 2010 US Olympians absent from this roster...with several US "up and comers" on the roster to gain international experience.

But clearly, those realities had a far greater impact on the performance of the CDN team and the affects of identical conditions for the US roster are negligible...even moot. Nuf said yet? ;)

Thought I could help you out with a few 2010 US Olympians that were absent. How's come they weren't mentioned?

Natalie Darwitz, Erika Lawler, Gisele Marvin, Brianne McLaughlin, Angela Ruggiero, Karen Thatcher, Kerry Weiland, Jinelle Zaugg-Siergiej, Caitlin Cahow.

I suppose naturally it's absolutely ludicrous to present these missing US Olympians as remotely equitable to those missing Canadian Olympians. Had those players been present it undoubtedly wouldn't have been anywhere near as close as 4-3. ;)

I guess the premise is that Canada would clean house if they had their 2010 Olympic roster at the tournament, regardless of any changes / additions that could be made to the US roster selected for this IIHF 12 Nations get together? Was that the point?

That was indeed a lot like something you would say as a matter of frequent habit when you have nothing to say. ;)

So neither of you know what the point is then? Or if there was even a point being made?

That's not true...like much of what you post where I'm concerned. It's also a complete falsehood to imply I ever made such a claim or believed that myself. Posting nothing but fertilizer...tough habit to break eh? :)
