WJC: 2021 Team USA Roster Talk

[Gopher13]

No way around this...

"The Badgers, who already were in East Lansing as part of a road trip that began last week at Ohio State, started returning home Sunday night after learning earlier in the day one of their players had a confirmed positive test for the coronavirus."

Caufield was with infected team member all weekend and played 2 games with...rode on busses but isn't a close contact that would need to quarantine? Other programs around the country shut down their entire program for one positive.

Hopefully everyone can play.

My first thought was he'd flown into Edmonton and was in the bubble. Now THAT scared me.

American fans are quiet.

 

[Statsy]

American fans are quiet.

Tooooo quiet.

 

[ORRFForever]

Tooooo quiet.

LOL! Makes me wonder if they know something we don't.

Maybe the "Caufield/Covid on the bus on Friday" thing came back to haunt the team and everyone is staying quiet.

 

[Statsy]

I’m a big fan of Cole Caufield and I hope he gets to play. It’s odd that there haven’t been any updates considering his situation, but I suppose no news is good news.

I want to see him play as well. I wanted to see everyone play. It's too bad.

Agree, no news is good news.

 

[William H Bonney]

The conspiracy theory nonsense is probably driving us away. There's nothing to talk about right now.

 

[therealdeal]

We all need this tournament. Best of luck to the US and all other teams in coming together. Hope it goes well so they can put on a much needed show for everyone.

pointing fingers and getting mad doesn’t help. Good vibes out there people, good vibes.

Nothing to talk about has never stopped us in the Canadian thread.

 

[Statsy]

I didn’t want to say it, but that’s definitely the first thought I had.

I love it! Now that's a hard core Canadian hockey fan.
My wife just left me, I've lost the house, my job and the neighbour just poisoned my dog.
What are the line combo's for the first Team Canada practise today?

 

[SK94]

Go to the Canada thread then...

 

[JiricekSaveUs]

anyone know the lines? what I could grasp from Knight's mic'd up video:
Red: Caufield, Boldy
Blue:Faranacci, Colangelo, Berard, Slaggert, Brink, McDonald
White: Turcotte, Bordeleau, Kaliyev, Brisson, Skinner

There were many more that I wasn't able to identify, but I find it interesting that basically everyone is in blue or white hold Boldy, Caulfield and one other person I couldn't identify.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

I would like to see Boldy - Zegras - Caufield

 

[JiricekSaveUs]

I would like to see Boldy - Zegras - Caufield

I as well

“Matty Beniers (2021) says he has been centering a line with Cole Caufield (MTL) and Matt Boldy (MIN) in U.S. camp. Clearly the U.S. staff sees a substantial role for the draft-eligible forward.”

Also from Peters.

Johnson and Faber play together in college, so that is smart. Also think that a defensive Dman like Kleven is just the right match for the talented, but occasionally risky, Lacombe.

 

[William H Bonney]

Sensible d pairings. That would leave McDonald and Skinner as the other pair, and likely 2 of the 4 cuts.

Any word on who the potential forward cuts will be?

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Sanderson Helleson sounds good

 

[William H Bonney]

Any word on who the potential forward cuts will be?

No, but I'd imagine guys like Berard, Farinacci, Moynihan, Slaggert, etc. should be most vulnerable.

 

[DatDude44]

Anyone know who Farinacci’s been playing with?
