That was some amazing hockey - this tourney never disappoints. Still sorry to see it end with a shootout, the excitement notwithstanding

Hey now. I actually thought that was great and was jealous (party, not T). And they were exonerated with a front page retraction by the Herald. T was moving too fast.
There was supposed to be a wink after my comment.

But you know how I feel about both Comm Ave schools.

The talent on on both sides is pretty absurd. Canada was "missing" McDavid, Marner and other. US, Matthews, Werenski, Hanifin, Tkachuk. Just amazing talent being produced now by both programs. The US has closed the gap.

Just needed to air the truth. And talk about the one fleeting second I sorta kinda wish I went to BU.
You know I'm just teasing you...of course BU folk are scumbags.

That said, they sure helped us to now be able to shit talk any Canadians we skate with for at least a year.

Canada needs to get used to this. There is little room for more kids in Canada to play hockey. Our population growth is mostly from immigration and hockey can't really grow. USA has more kids playing hockey and plenty of room to grow. I look forward to people at work complaining about American kids in the CHL while the willfully ignore the number of Canadians, especially in the past, at NCAA schools.

The Canadian's coach's decision to basically not play one kid the entire time came abck to haunt them at the end of each period, IMHO>

EDIT: To me, the way things are tending the recent Olympic success is pretty important.
