Dean Blais likes Lee and so far hes unbeaten.
Whats wrong with him so far?
Yes he does give up rebounds but hes a well positioned goalie. The rebound he gave up last night there should of been a US defensemen to clear the puck but he was out of position. Check out the reply (the US dman joins his partner at the hash marks). Its amazing how Lander and the other swedish forward are at the net beside Lee and yet the two american dmans are at the hash marks with 1 swedish forward who already took the shot.
Second goal could of been interference as the skate/player was beside lee in the net so it should of been disallowed since the puck was outside the crease. But ref missed the call.
Lee came up huge at the end and made big saves. You need the big saves and Lee gives you that. Campbell failed against Canada in the NYE match. Let the goals in. Cant blame him but as coaches say you need timely saves at the big moments. Lee has done that and has a perfect record for 4-0-0.
Campbell has seen Canada's game first hand in this tournament. Lee hasn't. Mike Lee will still start, but Jake Allen will have a slight advantage as he's played the American's in the tournament already.
Lee is better than Allen, though. It should be an amazing game. Unfortunately, I have practice tomorrow night so I'm going to miss it.
I beg to differ.
dude, Allen is so overrated that it's just a tad bit ridiculous.
Maybe the American coach thought Campbell got exposed by Canada? He let in 4 goals in regulation plus 3 more in the shootout for a total of 7 on the evening. Maybe he saw a weakness and was afraid the Swede's saw it too? Just speculating of course, I really have no idea.
Indeed. In fact, if you include the 2008 Junior A Challenge and the 2009 WJC Evaluation Camp, Lee is a perfect 10-0-0 wearing the USA sweater against foreign opponents. Let's keep the streak alive!!I've certainly been guilty of nitpicking Lee's game, but like you said so far he's unbeaten
