God you embarass yourself time & time again .db23 said:An NCAA watcher on another thread said that Thelen was invited, but turned it down because he had a heavy exam schedule to contend with around the time of the tournament. He still has two WJC's to look forward to in his future, so it makes sense.
This:
A.J.was invited to go to the World U 18's. Do to classes and finals at Michigan State it was something that just would not work. The USA program along with his parents tried to make it happen. It came down to missing to many days of class and than returning for finals the next week. Maybe we can watch him in North Dakota next year with the U 20's its over christmas break.
was posted in that thread in response to this:
O'Neil Was invited to play at the Wor;d under 18's...Thelen was not. Who would know thelen better than the NTDP?
You'd think that given you posted in that thread & the fact that the response specifically refrenced it was the Under 18, not the Under 20 WJC, you could have figured it out.
Alas, you could not.
Now I ask again, if he is so superiour to the US #1 D-man (not the #3,4,5 or 6), why in gods name was he not invited?
Suter played in his draft year & in fact played a pretty integral part.
