That link is only showing one game being streamed. It seems the rest of the games are only being shown on the NHL channel. If they truly wanted to promote this game, at least televise the US/Canada game on NBC sports. Dummy's.

True. Only people who have access to NHL channel will be able to see the games. :rant:
 
The NHL Network is the only place with the broadcasting rights to show this tournament here in the states. They use TSN's feed for all other games that aren't the U.S. I think the contract is until 2018 or so. With the way this tournament has grown in the U.S. maybe a network like the NBC Sports Network will take it up. They already show the Mens World Championship every May. The only x factor would be interfering with bowl games this time of year, NBC Sports Network doesn't really show much in the way of that, but they do analysis and bullcrap so with the times of the games during the day it might be tough. It'd be awesome if the regional Fox Sports channels all picked it up.
 
so what do you all think the odds of both Bellows and Keller are at for making this team?

Bellows playing with Boeser and Schmaltz is what I projected a few weeks back, so glad to see that's where they put him..

I like both Bellows and Keller on the team this year. They have both been having good seasons. Wouldn't hurt to give them a shot either as I'd assume they are expected to lead the team next year.

As a canuck fan, I can't wait to watch Brock boeser. He's tearing up the ncaa. Go watch his Hilites, his shot is simply ridiculous.

What I've been getting from the tweets coming out of Boston is that Bellows hasn't been impressing. He started out on the 3rd line with Boeser and Schmaltz but was moved down subsequently. He's in danger of not making the team.

Keller on the other hand appears to be playing electric. He started out on the 5th line with Eansor and Hitchcock, but moved all the way up to the 2nd line yesterday playing with White and Milano. Keller's chances are looking really good.
 
I think Keller makes this team hands down, Ron Wilson said he thought he might have been the best player on the ice the first day of camp. I think Bellows is one of the cuts, he and Keller tear it up against the USHL, but I think Bellows is a year away from playing in this tournament on this stage. I think Keller could have a really good tournament, people who never got to see him at last years U-18's in April are going to be pretty impressed.

Here's some day 3 thoughts http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/Julie-Robenhymer/Thoughts-from-USAs-WJC-Training-Camp-Day-3/99/73360
 
Went to the morning skate today and I was interested to see Bellows wearing and orange jersey with debricant and Matthews. Also, while most of the team was working down at one end, Matthews, debricant, Milano, tkachuk, and MacInninis were shooting on the goalies at the other end. Obviously I know it doesn't mean much but interesting none the less.

Watching the practice I was definitely impressed with the skill level and not as worried about the forwards as I was after I heard about some of the snubs. hopefully they will come together tonight during Umass and head to finland on a high note
 
Werenski should be the leader of that D-corps for obvious reasons, so he better stand out. Good to see McAvoy doing well as well.
