    Re: 2018 Four Nations Cup

    Instead of closing it appears that the gap between North America and the rest of the world continues to widen. While we all like to cheer for our home country I fear if the games are in no way competitive/interesting that women's hockey remaining an Olympic sport will eventually be called into question. At a minimum I think we need at least one other country to emerge as a real threat to interrupt the decades-old North American supremacy. How and when that might happen I have no idea.

      Maybe Michigan and Michigan State can start women's programs and stock it with nothing but internationals??

        Yea that wasn’t a competitive game. Some nice goals by the Canadians none the less. Hard to believe Poulin is already a veteran captain - I feel like it was 2010 and she was a young National Team player just yesterday.

        Looking forward to Canada USA which I believe is tonight. Hopefully they draw some fans.

                USA jumps out to a 1-0 lead in the first, goal by Hannah Brandt. So far the Americans have controlled the majority of the play, just missing on several real good opportunities. Canada did take two penalties to the USA's zero, and that helped the visitors outshoot the home team by a 16-4 margin.

                      Canada tied it up early in the 2nd, but Sidney Brodt scores the winner with the clock winding down for a 2-1 USA victory. Much more even play in the 3rd, but the Americans found a way to win it.

                        Only saw the last 8 minutes but don't recall ever seeing so much energy from Brandt...fun to watch.

                          I haven’t been paying attention to non Olympic international tourneys for very long, but I’m excited for this and hope some is on TV in America. USA without the Lams and Duggan will be quite a different look. Same for Canada with Agosta.

                            Thanks for the info Blackl and Shelfit.

                            Didn’t love the outcome last night but it was nice to be able to stream the game. Thought the Ouellette tribute was touching even if some people were anxious to get to the game.

                              team canada women have gone from being on life support to dead. They can't win to save their lives. Cannot outshoot team USA if you put a gun to their heads. This program is dead. Not even a win in the tournament final will bring them back to life before they lose everything again. Different quadrennial, same sh*t. And Mel Davidson is still giving media interviews it seems. Who knew that getting fired meant not getting fired.

                              At least they let go of at least one notable player who it seems has been hanging around for far too long. Still would like to see one of the forwards who was given an A on her sweater gone, but who is anyone kidding.

                                I can't keep track of which quadrennial this is or where we're at within the quadrennial or which players you're talking about since I'm not an expert on Team Canada. Can you give complete info in the future please? I need to go take a quadrennial-headache-relief tab or two or four!
