Originally posted by bluffrinkrat View PostKeller reminds me of Rachel Ramsey in that when she is good she is very, very good, but on occasion she will make an ill-advised pass or decision. But, like Ramsey she almost always is able to cover up for any mistakes she might make. I think she is the best all-around defender the USA has.

Originally posted by Russell Jaslow View PostMost teams in the NHL (and MLB for that matter) have video review experts up in a booth somewhere looking at replays (even if the benches also have access to video). They then radio down to the bench to suggest either review or not. I got to think the Olympic teams do the same.
Then again there are no overhead cams above the goals so who knows what these teams have access to during an Olympics tournament?Last edited by Blackbeard; 02-15-2018, 03:04 PM.

Re: 2018 USA Olympic Women's Hockey Team
I remember JLam scoring on Noora on a breakaway where she did a 360 and admitting that she'd have looked like an idiot if the move hadn't worked. She didn't execute the move as well as she could have last night, but I didn't see it as being a hotdog; she just knew that some vanilla move wasn't likely to work on that goalie. She likely used her No. 1 move when she scored on the breakaway off the faceoff against OAR, so she thought she needed to try something else. She got off a quality shot, but LaCasse stopped it. She stopped a lot of other shots, too. Great goalies tend to do things like that. At least JLam isn't scared of the moment, because a lot of players would be. I'm fine with her taking the PS, and I'd be fine with her taking the next one. I think some people need to get over the fact that a couple of teenage girls decided they wanted to go to college in their home town. Let it go.
I agree that Coyne has been terrific, but she's been carrying that line. When did Knight get so easy to knock off her skates? Coyne has gotten better, Decker has maybe maintained, but I think she's regressed a bit, and Knight? I wish she had been as much of a non-factor back in her Badger days.
All of the talk of forwards won't matter much if the Canadian goalie outplays the US goalie by a similar margin. People will say that it was a bad scheme, and too much regrouping, yada, yada, yada. The bottom line is that they had a ton of quality chances, but just didn't convert."... And lose, and start again at your beginnings

Re: 2018 USA Olympic Women's Hockey Team
I said it in another thread and I'll say it here, the US has already lost the gold. There has been SO much press on the loss 4 years ago that there is no way they will be loose enough to play fast and win the gold. They will be tight and afraid to make mistakes, and they have an advantage in goal.Wisconsin Hockey: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 WE WANT MORE!

And I think that quote from Knight is hilarious...it might be what Stauber is telling his team and wanting them to believe but what nonsense. At the very least the pressure is on each team equally. And, if not, then certainly more is on OAUS. I think that to think otherwise is to completely ignore the Olympic history of these two teams not to mention the last few minutes of the last Olympic Gold Medal Game.

I just cannot think team USA will lose again to schuler. not 2 games in a row at the Olympics. and certainly not the past 5. Rooney has proven to be extremely capable and if decker can score then it's over.
