Has anyone stood out from the older ex NHL players that may get a call after this?
Arcobello was terrific for most of the game yesterday.

I could see Jon Blum (D - USA) get a shot.

Men's tourney just started so it's tough to really say right now

Doubt any of the contracted players get deals this late. They won’t abandon their teams not to mention the games are played on the larger ice.

The big names will be the prospects.

Tolvanen is easily the best and Jokerot won’t have a shot against SKA or CSKA. He hit a wall, but he is extremely talented. Best 18 year old KHL season ever. Short break seems to have done him good.

Greenway for Minnesota will probably be leaving school after the season ends.

Donato for Boston.

Heiskanen isn’t ready. I think he will debut next season.

I still can't believe he cut her. But after hearing him think there wasn't much evidence, it's clear that I now CAN believe it cause boy WHAT?

Not enough evidence? That's such bs
Sorry,what was he talking about? I didn't hear it. Last roster spot given to Skarupa who played 3 minutes. This guy is looking like a complete fool.

Not sure,but he was confident they could beat anyone without her and with Barnes and Skarupa who played 11 minutes combined. Mind boggling stupidity.

Meghan Bozek was a surprise cut as well, correct?

Watched highlites today and it showed Canada woman 2nd goal.That was offside by feet not inches

If that were true the coaching staff would have been all over it and challenged the goal. The third Canada Goal should have counted, clearly redirected, no kicking motion at all, but USA caught a lucky break there.

I saw replay not a doubt it was offside in my mind.Never saw that play you allude to but Hockey Central on right now they said kicking motion but again I never saw it so cannot comment on that one.

I believe it was offsides but they only showed it once. As for the kick in goal,I can go either way,but it looks like she changed her foot angle just as the pass was made and drove it home. I believe it was an intentionally disguised kick.

Their second goal was offside, and they had one overturned for a kick that should have counted. It evened out in my opinion.

Maybe it’s because I’m used to watching Boston’s D so much, but damn the USA women defensemen can’t move the puck out of their own zone for sh*t. Canadian forecheck owned them last night.

He was going on and on how there wasn't much evidence on the off-sides goal. When there was clear evidence. He just sounded like a total fool.

USA vs Slovakia on CNBC at 10:10.

Hope they can redeem themselves after that awful finish vs. Slovenia
