It would be great to see him make the final cut; Bardreau's really coming into his own, and he's a "glue" kind of player essential to any winning team.  I enjoy watching that tournament, and it would be icing on the cake to have one of our own representing the USA.

It would be great...except, you know, for the fact he'd miss four games for the Red!  Best of luck to him, but it would be sort of an awkward situation, no?

While it would certainly be a loss to the team for Bardreau to miss those four games, we have enough depth up front that I think we'd get by in reasonable shape.

Nice for followers of the NCAA see "student-athlete" used without irony.

Good recap evaluation here. Our boy is near the top of the list!

Cole Bardreau — F — Through the first period, Bardreau was Team USA's best forward. He's playing a grinder type of role, but he has such speed and tenacity that he was able to get a few offensive chances as well. He was great on the PK and was a terror for opposing D on the forecheck. He even the body around a bit. He's a role player, but he's really good at that role.
