Really? The universe taunted me by making me slightly believe Latvia could pull out a win and then that shitty Swedish squad pooped their way to victory.
And now this garbage end. Luke better not be injured or… I will be testy and stuff.

As long as Luke hasn't injured himself long term this is a good game for him to learn from. All the frustration he has will be a good thing.

Exactly. A 100% Hughes probably does a quick spin-o-rama and gets out of the scramble. He kind of panicked there given the circumstances.
The Switzerland one is the one that pisses me off. If their starter didn't shit the bed they could've won.
Maybe the US should stop leaving off some of their most talented options. No Nazar was soooooo dumb

Wonder how this game goes if Luke didn't get hurt.
Honestly the rest of Team USA deserve this. Played like ass for the majority of this game
Luke can't be the only one driving play

Now rest it up kiddo. Probably around a month until Michigan camp.

He isn't. If it was that bad he wouldn't have finished the game. He looked way more comfortable in the 3rd, although not 100%. From the looks of it, he would've been fine for Friday. Really seemed like a small ankle twist that bothered him, but nothing long-term.

Other than the Latvian win in the Preliminary and Luke getting a watch not much to be happy about.
Go Hauser.

It's definitely a mental thing, but if he wasn't injured maybe he spins out of trouble. We've seen him do it often with Michigan. Oh well. He'll learn. Even the pros do it lol.

I really hope the Hughes brothers will lead us back to being a good team & a cup contender. We might not be a big market team but they have alot of hype to live up too. This was just kinda of a nightmare scenario for Hughes having to get hurt, I get he wasn't 100% but that turnover sucked. He will get another chance come December but all of the other teams are going to be beefed up so its going to be harder to win it this winter as opposed to now...
Atleast Hauser had a nice big.goal for the Czechs , you never know maybe he can turn into an dedent NHLer if he keeps improving.

you can't say that the injury doesn't affect his play and perhaps that turnover. trying to play through something is mentally taxing and he was definitely try to adapt his play so he could contribute.
When doing all that the chance of doing something stupid skyrockets.

The US team will also be beefed up. A turnover in an injured game for Luke means basically nothing, overall his tournament was a great success. He had a good one and I expect him to come fired up in December. We have an elite prospect in Luke. I'm excited honestly.
Way the bracket played out we can't even get a Sweden-Finland final either
Give me a bunch of 04s. Nazar should've joined Cooley for this event to begin with
That's what I meant. He needs to learn to adapt. He won't always be able to just do whatever he wants in the NHL (at least not initially), even if he's not injured. The decision making there had nothing to do with the injury, that's all I was saying.

What I'm saying is that at 100% skating maybe he doesn't make that decision. Maybe he skates out of trouble as he so often does. Regardless, bad play in the moment for sure, but injuries do matter in mental mistakes. I'm sure he'll learn from this. I'm also glad he seemed more comfortable towards the end, shows it's not a big injury.
Can't wait for Michigan's season. Overall, having a prospect like him in the pipeline is nothing short of very exciting.

Really happy with Luke's tourney overall. He showed he's arguably the best D prospect outside of the NHL. Definitely solidified the idea.
6 points in 5 games. Could've gotten more with more finish from his teammates and if he didn't injure himself tonight.
