Dang no TV coverage at all? How is this a thing still with all the different ways to broadcast it? Throw up a webstream at least.

I was just looking at that too... I assumed TSN would have televised this game on atleast one of their channels instead of showing Canada game on TSN, TSN3, TSN4, TSN5... annoying

I don't think coverage of this tournament is something you can really criticize TSN for. They broadcast every single game of the tournament(Besides relegation) and are a big reason why this became so popular. I highly doubt it makes sense to put TV time towards a pre-tourney game between two teams that aren't Canadian. Now why there isn't a webcast of it I'm not sure.

I'm not criticizing TSN so much as saying that when high schools can and are webcasting their sports, a tournament like this should have no problems. I get TSN not broadcasting it, it's not team Canada.

Still though I am surprised its not being televised on atleast one of the TSN channels. They show a lot of NCAA hockey games now on TSN and just due to this game being played in Canada too. Not to mention in Canada media/broadcasters LOVE setting up the Canada/USA rivalry every year. I know many Canadian hockey fans would love to watch some of the USA game to see how they look and size up the competition. Even myself, I watched the Canada game the other day and was actually planning on watching the USA game today
 
Disappointed to see Bellows so low on the depth chart. I thought for sure they would keep him and Keller together.

But withTeam Canada playing on the other channel, they know people will tune into that a ways. Not worth the extra cost

It's not like they've been ripping it up together. Keller has more than twice as many points as Bellows despite playing 5 games less.

What they should have done was have one of the games at 4, the other at 7

Very true. I just figured the chemistry and them playing together the past few years. Bellows has been a disappointment. Thought he would be scoring more. Even though BU is stacked, I expected him to light the lamp more.

Not a huge deal, he's still a freshman on a stacked team. A similar situation was Jake Walman when he went to a stacked Providence team. His offensive numbers were low in his freshman year but he absolutely exploded in his sophomore season. Wouldn't be surprised to see Bellows do the same.
