But he's too small!


Interesting moves by SUI.  They pulled their goalie down 4-0 with 12:27 left because they were on the PP.  They then scored to make it 4-1.  With about 6 minutes left, they pull the goalie again even strength.  This time CAN scores the ENG 30 seconds later.  5-1 game over.

I'll be with you with the women. Ben can deal with the silver.

Although I don't think we will have to deal with that decision for the gold medal for the men

I watched Mystery, Alaska, once.  When the Rangers won, I swore I'd never watch it again.

As to rooting for the US men, I keep hearing Ryan Donato and Noah Welch called on the PBP.  Makes me want to puke.

I'm actually really comfortable pulling for Donato Jr. (And Teddy, since now he's the poster-parent of the team in the stands.) Especially considering that if Ryan is now considered the #1 star of Team USA, there's a greater shot of him not being in Allston next season. The NBC announcing crew were joining all Cornell fans about the prospect of him turning pro...like NOW.  This is much more exposure to the hockey-loving public than any Hobey statuette could bring.

Now I can bring myself to root for Donato, but Noah Welch?? Him?? Ughhhh.

There are a lot of people, including John Buccigross, speculating that Donato will turn pro this season. I don't buy it. Ryan's dad is the coach and his brother is a teammate. The family doesn't *need* the money a one-year NHL salary would provide. And Harvard has a great recruiting class coming in next year. I'm not saying he wouldn't leave, but it's far from a sure thing.

I think he stays for the reasons you mention.  If his dad weren't the coach then I think he would go.  Remember that Vesey stayed his senior year.

A factor in favor of leaving right after the Olympics is that the Bruins are 3rd in the NHL in points at the moment.  He'd be going to a team with ~20 games left in the regular season that has a good chance at a deep Stanley Cup run.

Even if I thought he was ready to go pro at the end of this season, I have a hard time imagining him leaving now, when Harvard still has a chance - however minor - of making a playoff run. I would think he'd fight for an ECAC title and a spot in the NCAAs to the bitter end, then make the jump. Is it no longer possible under current NHL deadlines to do that, as Ken Dryden did in 1969?

Plenty of players, including several recent Cornellians, have gone pro immediately after their last college game. Sean Collins, for instance, did it for Cornell (I think there are quite a few other recent examples too). I believe Sean returned to school once the season ended, though he only played in the AHL. A more high-profile example is Chris Kreider, who scored five goals in the playoffs for the Rangers the same year he won a national championship at BC.

There was some study done some time ago, that may even have been done by a Cornell researcher, that showed, based on facial expression or something, that bronze medal winners were on average happier than silver medal winners. If I can find anything about the study in a quick search I'll post it.

Edit: I was correct about Cornell researchers being involved. (That may be why I knew about it.) Here's an article:

I think in general finishing a close second is worse psychologically than finishing a distant third (at the time, at least) but I don't think, for example, the jockey in second behind Secretariat would rather have been in third. In bracket-elimination sports, there has to be some lift to winning the consolation game instead of finishing on a downer.

In team sports where there is a "bronze medal game", the bronze medal winner finishes on a win.  The silver medal winner finishes with a loss.  That may help in a way,

Although OTOH winning the consy in the ECAC tourney is comparable, and I never felt like that was winning anything when we won it.

That was done at the behest of the coaches who hated them and thought they just risked injury because the players didn't play them with any degree of awareness or effort (which is dangerous).
