WC: 2024 Team USA

[SK94]

I don't think you can replace registered players. 3 GK is maximum. At least I couldn't find something in the regulations which would allow to replace injured players.

What if you have two injured goalies?

 

[jonas2244]

I don't know to be honest. The only thing I found is that you're allowed to register players until the tournament maximum which is 22 skaters + 3 gk for the WC. I couldn't find anything about replacing injured players though I know it was allowed to replace corona-positive players during Corona.

Unfortunate for Lyon. But I'm glad Augustine will get some serious playing time in some important games. What a great opportunity for him. Let's see what he does with it

I'm still surprised if he plays over Nedeljkovic. The guy had a pretty hot hand at the end of the season and Trey is still just a rising prospect.

How he would get serious playing time when there is Nedeljkovic

So Swiss delegation lead Lars Weibel just said on TV that you're alllowed to exchange players in case of an injury. So you're probably allowed to fly in another Goalie if the IIHF-doctor confirms the injury.

 

[AmericanDream]

I imagine especially with goalies you are allowed to swap out for injury.

 

[William H Bonney]

Unless a goalie who previously didn't want to play has a change of heart, I think our options now are Dustin Wolf (recently knocked out of Calder Cup, or another AHL goalie) or wait and see if Swayman, Oettinger, or Knight becomes available after the 2nd round of the playoffs.

It could be worse. Remember the tournament where we had a pretty good team and we ended up with only like 4/5 healthy defensemen for the knockout rounds? We were playing forwards at defense

 

[Joe Zanussi]

Assuming Bonney is correct (he always is), I’d prefer to wait and see. I’m ok w Trey and Alex getting us to the knockouts.

Vanbiesbrouck would get us to the knockouts.

Vanbiesbrouck would get us to the knockouts.

Ha, ha. So true.

I remember that it was brutal. I'm ok with waiting for a goalie coming later.

Ah I didn't realize Ned was there too. Only saw Lyon and Augustine last I looked.

Yeah I didn't realize Ned was there too. He was atrocious for us. Our defense was awful but still idk id trust Ned in a big game.

Swayman 1 more loss from coming to win Gold here baby!!

What is this "gold" you speak of

 

[Joe Zanussi]

Vanbiesbrouck would get us to the knockouts.

Ha. That’s exactly what I mean. No reason to rush. Swayman will be done Monday night.

[Summer Rose]

Go USA!

 

[AmericanDream]

Nedeljkovic in net..

 

[AmericanDream]

It has to happen sometime right?? Lol

If Hughes has a bad game, they should consider demoting him for Kesselring (whom I am not overly familiar with from NHL action but he's played well so far).

USA Hockey is kind of obsessed with the Hughes brothers, so I wouldn't be surprised if they brought Luke to the olympics to play with the other two.

Not sure why the NHL is obsessed with them either. Drafting them 1st, 4th & 7th respectively.

I just hope they don't bring Luke just because they would bring the other two.

Bad blood out there immediately. Interesting to see Pinto so feisty out of the gate.
