[Holtbyisms]

Booooo Hutson shoulda got top D. Leonard top forward.

Edit: rempinen shafted lol

 

[Nice]

Our guys are pretty good

 

[Cush]

Hutson robbed

 

[DWGie26]

Ryan Leonard player of the tournament.

 

[Calicaps]

MVP! MVP!

 

[Holtbyisms]

MVP of the whole tournament Ryan Leonard woohoo

 

[DWGie26]

I would have voted for Hudson. But I’ll take Leonard!

We may not have affordable healthcare, or a decent social safety net, or public transit, or public housing, but damn if we don't have good sports teams! Go America!

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Wow Lenny MVP that will go over well on the main boards lol….

None of that matters as long as we take gold on Canadian ice!

What's really cool is the guy who probably was second is also a Cap. Exciting. We haven't had a legitimate prospect pool in awhile. They've done a tremendous job rebuilding it the last few years.

 

[Nice]

Taking home gold in a rain of boo's in Canada. Doesn't get much better than that

 

[Langway]

Hutson all-tourney team:

 

[stephenball]

I mean, even when Leonard wasn’t scoring he was super visible, his compete level is obviously through the roof.

 

[DWGie26]

Hudson was the most fun for me. Knew the name. Freshman at BU. to see him roll in this tournament was awesome. Second was Mateiko. Big boy who i thought had potential but his stock just rose big. And he should be in Hershey next year. Third is Leonard, who won the MVP, so the gap wasn’t as big, but MVfP! And then Sikora looked good. f*** the 4 nations!

We actually have all of those things now.

Florida was just quarantined off, and excluded.

 

[DWGie26]

I love how Leonard handed the cup immediately to the team. He didn’t even skate with it first. That is good leadership.

 

[Silky mitts]

In 19 months that’s an U18 gold, 2 WJC golds, and a trip to the NCAA finals for Lenny

Yeah well you can't have our...methamphetamines?

he likes to win. I want that on my team and in my locker room. Winners win!

 

[EroCaps]

Best possible outcome for Caps.

I knew Hutson was a steal.

 

[Cush]

 

[zappa4ever]

Pretty epic tourney for Lenny and Hutson, Lenny had what 4 grade A chances in the OT, would've been storybook ending if he got the GG
Nice job USA and Caps prospects!

 

[wickedwitch]

After a fine preliminary round, Leonard had a multi point game in all 3 games in the elimination round. And when he wasn't scoring he was driving play. I didn't watch tonight, but he was the best player versus both Switzerland and Czechia.

 

[IafrateOvie34]

3v3 to decide this is ludicrous

Agreed.

Other than 3on3 in tournament play for a championship, this was a great showing for Caps prospects. Caps are in a great spot for the future.
