Nothing. Blame Canada is the name of the song from the South Park movie
OK USA game #2 vs. Germany.
Man trying to catch the shift for Leonard's shifts is a test of discipline. Got the secondary assist on the first goal.
Yes.. USA second goal of the game on a two on one where passing ends up with another goal.
Starting to look like Smith could handle going to the Sharks next season. He seems to focusing on passing a bit more than being a shooter at BC this last season (at least so far in this game).
Haven't finished yet part #2 coming up.

It is still going to give them some great experience whether they are ready or not. It is a grown ass men tourney.
Exactly. They know how they stack up. Are they ready for the NHL? Good experience regardless. Just like Culder run, Winning is fun!

Pretty disappointing showing from them….guess they're not ready at this level in the eyes of the coaches.

There is a lot to read into it. But fine. Go play at BC again next year and then come correct!

What is interesting here? I have been saying the right path was to come to Washington (but was accepting if he went back to BC). If Smith and Leonard can’t EARN meaningful time in worlds with NHL peers, then maybe it is the better path to go back to BC. Just like when McMichael couldn’t earn time in Washington (it wasn’t JUST Levi’s fault), he needed to go play in Hershey to develop (and he did). Came back ready. If my comment of “come back correct” needs translating, it means go work on your game and come in ready next year.Interesting takes here...

It's way too early to make that judgement. And McMichael is a pointless comparison because he probably doesn't even make this team.
From what I've seen, he is 100% NHL ready
He could be. He could struggle in the NHL as do most sub 20 players.
McMichael certainly isn’t a pointless comparison. Many thought he was ready for the NHL last year. He was not. He developed in Hershey and put up 18 goals this year.
I wanted Leonard to turn pro. He didn’t. I’m just not as banged up about it as other are.

I'm not upset that he didn't make the jump. That's a personal decision. But he is absolutely ready. He is better today than McMichael is today.
