WJC USA team is awful
WJC USA team is awful, no puck control, stupid passes, etc. They got their butts handed to them by Finland, and practically gave the game to the Czechs today, they are gonna get PLASTERED by Canada tomorrow night......

RE: WJC USA team is awful
I don't know if I am right, but when you stock a team with all allegedly future "super stars" and leave out the hard working grinders...this is what you get! A team of independant "egos" and no team cohesiveness. Give me a good scorer say per line and a bunch of hard-working (not flashy) support players and you will win championships and medals! Just my opinion.

I've never really been able to make myself care about this tournament. It's basically a Canadian invitational because no one else gives two craps. They end up having their players doing ads for gatorade and such and it leads off sportscentre highlights.

It's still the best international junior tournament in the world, so it will always have some relevance. It's just pathetically promoted (as in NOT) in the US, which is really sad because it's good, important hockey.

Canada won 3-2, had some good chances at the end even before the goalie was pulled, he had a hard time getting to the bench, icing, couldn't get the puck, deep, etc.
It really did look like they were grinding, winning little battles more last night, players that weren't used to having to do that.
