4 Nations

[Tcl123]

USA needs to figure out how many of the injuries are not worth playing thru.  Still got 2 days to get fill ins if needed.

I thought they could not add to the roster??
Just found this:

Will the U.S. injuries be a problem?

The injuries are starting to pile up for the United States.

Charlie McAvoy has already been ruled out for the game with the Boston Bruins saying the defenseman was admitted to Massachusetts General Hospital on Monday to undergo testing related to an upper-body injury.

That is a huge loss for the U.S. as McAvoy had a dominant game against Canada. And although Vancouver Canucks defenseman Quinn Hughes is going to come to Boston, he can only play if the U.S. has fewer than six healthy defensemen available.

I have photos of some lax games on lower Alumni Field from my 1970-71 freshman year. I believe Schoellkopf got artificial turf -- PolyTurf, caused a lot of sliding-on-turf leg burns, installed spring / summer. That was for Marinaro '72 to have artificial turf in fall 1971. I think L.A.F. lasted through 1973.

Wrong thread?

Sounds like everyone barring McAvoy is able to play. QHughes didn't make the trip, not cleared by Nucks doctor. Pesce and Thompson around.

And now Bruins management has started some drama surrounding the medical treatment McAvoy received, suggesting that the Team USA medical staff (who are affiliated with the Minnesota Wild) botched their response to his initial injury and possibly caused the infection that landed him in the hospital.

It would be awesome after the college hockey season to have a tournament like the 4 Nations

The best of the Ivy, Hockey East, etc
Just my opinion

now that's how you finish

The defensive zone coverage was so good all night, but they somehow left the best player in the world all alone in the slot. I believe Matthews was the likely culprit?

Ah well, at Eva Braun's press conference yesterday she declared Canada is "soon to be our 51st state" so McDavid will be playing for us!

Will Canadians automatically become US citizens?  Does it become the 3 Nation Tournament? Or maybe we should add Russia to keep it at 4 Nations.

But, then again, if we withdraw from NATO, Sweden and Finland will become part of Russia, so we'll be back to a 2 Nation Tournament.  An annual Miracle on Ice Tournament?  It will keep Eruzioni employed for life.

I'm just waiting for Trudeau's executive order re: The Gulf of McDavid.

I was just thinking last night how eerily similar McDavid's GWG was to Jack Skille's against us in 3OT in the Wisconsin game, although I think that play started from the half boards, rather than from below the goal line.

I shudder to think what a "best of hockey east" roster would look like.
