      And if they win without her, then what? Will Stauber be seen as a very courageous risk taking genius? lol

        I wonder how much competition "Team NWHL" can provide as the Olympic Team prepares for SOCHI?

            It's pretty obvious that Carpenter or Bozek didn't get released because of talent. There has to be more to this than bad decision making by the USA staff.

                  Next up is Canada, which should be super motivated after losing their opener to Russia. Game time is 6:30am CT, 7:30 ET.

                    Another time, just start a thread. When it is a meaningful topic with a decent level of interest, a dedicated thread is deserved. As it is, we'll just get U-18 posts scattered through other threads as people can't find any one place where their comments belong.

                          Canada playing their best game of the tournament, USA not so much. 3-1 Canada after two.

                            Putin must be angry at the US. Maybe we are getting fake streaming. I wonder if Canadian citizens will be seen as undesirables after this game. NAFTA could really be in trouble now.

                            What next, Mexico moves ahead of the US in international rankings at the U 18 level.

                            Maybe there are some really strong Haitian players which the US could look at.

                            Oh well, back to eating Oreos and milk.

                              On the strength of some dubious calls by the referees, USA comes back to tie it at 3-3. Now going to OT.

                                Oh goodie, a shootout (despite the W)
                                Well, it is fake in that an international tournament makes no sense, maybe someone can explain why a “tournament” at the international level is structured the way it is. I guess the Euro’s think it is fairer than an elimination tournament.
                                It makes no sense, in North America it is simple and straight forward, an elimination, the team that prevails is the champ. IOW, if you lose, you lose. There is no second chance.
                                At the international level both here and in the Olympics, if you lose you get a second chance. But not like in a double elimination tournament, which is the way it works in North America. In international play your second chance absolves everything that happens before, it doesn’t matter how well or how bad you played before, those results are thrown out, it all boils down to the final two games, the previous games are meaningless.
                                In double elimination if the undefeated team is to be vanquished they need to be defeated twice, not just once. In international play you can be the champ despite having a worse record than teams you supposedly prevailed over. This is fair?
