At what point does the US' lack of international success fall on Waddell's shoulders? His record as a GM both internationally and in the NHL has been quite paltry. It's hard to blame him for his team taking two 5 on 3's, but eventually it all falls on his shoulders. I think we've gotten one medal (bronze) in the WC's with him involved. And I think he was Pleau's assistant in that year. Is he just well connected within HockeyUSA or is there just no other choice? I understand that there isn't a lot to choose from (Pleau, Patrick, and Poile are a few that come to mind), and the talent the U.S. has available isn't what it used to be. How many more times do we have to finish out of the medals with Waddell before we move on?

Agrree on Waddell. Patrick is the only choice. Pleau is useless. Poile has built good teams but he doesn't seem to able to add the final pieces to the puzzle.

No, Russians.
Then again, they can always refer to the '87 Canada Cup finals.

What about O'Connell? He'd try to trade Modano to Latvia for Skrastins, Saviels, and Vasilijevs.

If there was a team sport on ice where the goal was to miss as many sure goal opportunities as possible, US would be in serious medal contention.
You just gotta wonder if Waddell is picking for the US water polo team as well. I could see Tchachuk playing in the "hole" with all of that girth.
I just wish the "old" Bill Guerin was playing. There is no nasty streak left in that guy...hence the lack of scoring and impact on these games for the US

That wasn't a high stick. It was under his knees anyway.
You can't make a call 3 minutes after it happens just because the guy got up slowly. ****ing linesman.

I hope Selanne will be OK.
Hatcher will get 4 minutes.
Aside: Like I care the guy who made the call is Slovakian, JD and Pierre.
