    Well at least they didn't cut Megan Bozek. That would have been really dumb. Didn't know there was a Bozak on the team though.

        If this is true it comes as a surprise to me. Carpenter had not been scoring but she has been a huge scorer in the past. I question where the scoring is going to come from? The D and goaltending have no margin for error vs Canada. Best of luck to USA women who made it.

            first, where is news of who is cut?, USA Hockey is a fail as far as navigating their website, ever hear of contrasting colors?? I'm sure someone here will say they think it's great, most likley one of my fellow MN fans, well, you are as stupid as the person who designed the site

            I am as shocked as anyone that Carpenter is cut, but FWIW, Pelkey looked like somebody who actually cared about the outcome of the game in StP, not that Carpenter didn't, it looked like many of the team were going thru the motions but not really caring about the outcome

              Do you have a written source? Or just heard from someone in the know?

                From what I've seen the roster will be announced on Jan 1st and it also looks like the team is on a break as of today. Maybe decisions were made and those being cut were told?

                  There are definitely no written sources out there about this.

                    Got it. Guess he or she is just in the know. Well the pressure is on USA to win it all now, after this unusual centralization process. Happy for Skarupa, Barnes and Morin I guess. They would have benefited from a full centralization but I bet they are just thrilled to be on the team.

                    No doubt Carpenter consoled former BC linemate Skarupa after she was left off the centralization roster. Now the tables have turned, if the reported cuts are accurate. Just a weird process this year.

                    Turning my eye to the Canadian side where I am reallllly rooting for Bailey Bram to make it, after being cut from the centralized roster in 2014. She was active on the pk last game in Edmonton, so I have to think she is still in the hunt for a spot.

                      Hannah Brandt will score a goal or a nice assist in the gold medal game, assuming USA is in the gold medal game!

                          I know I'm biased but this really doesn't make any sense. How do you cut Carpenter?

                          I don't really know enough to care that much about Bozek's but that seems goofy too. What are we missing here?

                          It almost feels like a bizarre misdirection campaign for them to throw a curveball on New Year's, but there's no reason to do it.

                          EDIT: For all we know, twointhebox could just be making this up entirely, but there's another rando on Twitter baffled that Bozek is cut, and in this small community of people, where there's smoke coming from randos, those randos tend to be people in the know.

                            I have trouble believing that they cut Carpenter. We'll see, but that just makes no sense to me.
