[Trotsky]

Gorgeous 2 pass goal in the opening minute.  1-0.

[Trotsky]

Gotovets with a cheapy, 2-zip.

[Trotsky]

Not much opposition in our offensive zone tonight.  4-zip through 2.

[Trotsky]

And 6-zip final.  2 goals in each period, well-played game for the Red.

Cornell seemed to overwhelm the USA U18s  was my impression.  A bit bigger - and 3 - 4 years older seemed to make a difference. Give the USA team credit they came back hard in the second period  and in pushing hard on offense and being aggressive Cornell was able to counter attack with several 2 - 1 breaks.

Some observations:

• Rocco Grimaldi - starting center for USA, (#23) all 5'6" and 160 lbs was very fast and played well.  He is headed to U of North Dakota.
• Cole Bardeau - looked a-OK,  should be a good addition to the team next year
• Mario Lucia (#15) looked strong! and he is listed as uncommitted! But he is the son of Don  (coach at Minn.!).
• Andy Iles was strong in net and gained shutout in first Big Red start!  Crowd cheered loud and long for him as team exited the ice at end of game.
• Checking their record this year;  USA U18's lost to Denver 8-1, and to Colorado College 7-1, and to Michigan 3-0.

If the Gophers don't start playing better, Mario might not even have a chance to play for his father next year!

Any comments on Ryan Haggerty, who is heading for RPI?

[profudge]

Sorry - none  from me - He was not part of the first or second lines that team USA  used.    I did not note anything about him.  
I tend to watch d-men more as I played  D for about 35 years.

OK, I am usually not the guy who jumps on the Sun - they are college kids after all - but was this written in a foreign language and translated by Babelfish? Isn't there even one level of editing above "reporter-filing-story"?

It's not unique to college newspapers...When the Ithaca Journal first posted the story about Andy Iles' shutout, the included a picture of Mike Garman....For Gods' sake, it's Andy's hometown newspaper!!   How does that happen?   Does no one at the IJ read their own website?  They promptly changed pictures after the error was made public.

Maybe they kept the beat writer from UQTR around for the weekend and then translated the resulting story from French.

You mean QATR?

Nothing against hockey players, but it's not good when the most readable sentences in the article are their direct quotes...

I just read the article. Wow. Just wow.

On a related note, does anyone believe Schafer actually said anything close to this direct quote: "...and I'm like 'dang', you know?"
