Tbh I think it would be a much better tournament if they dropped some of the weaker teams and go with an expanded medal round format. The hockey would be better and more entertaining to watch.I think everyone knew Team USA was no slouch. These teams could meet tomorrow and Canada could easily win 2-0. Like you said the reality of a winner take all format. All the hype about never playing from behind and running the table in the group is not always a good thing just ask Sweden.

Lots of great hockey players in the world and not just Canadians. Anything can happen.4 in a row in the Gold Medal game to the USA sorry but there is only so much humble I can take.
What next the Olympics?

Caufield looked like a stud tonight. Wasn't too impressed earlier in the tourney. But wow did he fly out there tonight. Should be a special player.

8 medals and 3 gold since 2010. The 2005-2009 era is not as dominant as people thought. Only in results. USA could've easily beat Canada in the 2007 semi shootout. Russia could've easily held on in the last 6 seconds of the semis in 2009. Half of it is puck luck. Another variable is perseverance. Tournament has always been close. Canada shouldn't presumably win every year just get a medal every year

Yeah I thought he looked a lot better this year then last. Much closer to an NHL player as he has at Wisconsin all year.

The US kinda owns us in Gold Medal games. 4-1 since the 2000's. They just show up and we don't.
Agreed. I thought Caufield was very feisty and made good plays each time he touched the puck. He is definitely rounding his game. He backchecks hard and works all over the ice. He has the potential to be special.
I don't even care really that Canada lost. Not too many players I care about in this edition. In Guhle's case, he will be back next year, it will only make him more hungry.

Caufield was solid defensively tonight, he remained committed in his own end and didn't cheat for offense.. we all would have loved for him to cash in on more of his chances and be up there with Zegras for points but you can't hate on the progression.. he's better defensively, he creates his own offense more, his playmaking is better, his hands are better, his skating is better.. he just didn't hit the hot streak that snipers like him generally need to go on a heater.

We clearly saw last night why I prefer Schneider to Guhle. Guhle can be overwhelmed by speed, Schneider scales up. And we particularly made a mistake on this one, because of Romanov. Romanov - Schneider would be a pair in the near future, Guhle is a lot more long term and competes with Romanov. Why?

I like the Guhle pick and don't regret them taking him. But before the draft, I was asking if there is a difference between picking Guhle or picking Schneider at 16.
We knew Drysdale and Sanderson were going to be the two first defensemen taken. After them it was between Guhle and Schneider. So I was asking if there is enough of a difference to pick one over the other. And the reason I asked is because Schneider is RD, which is the less deep side of the D in the pipeline.
We know we have LD's with experience on the right side like Romanov, Harris, and Norlinder to name a few. But in the pipeline, there are Juulsen, Fleury, and Brook as natural RD's. And Juulsen has his injury history. So I was wondering if Schneider would be the better choice because of need.

Because he's a better player. We must be watching different tournaments because Schneider didn't impress me at all and the coach basically benched him one game. Guhles hockey IQ is scary good

No doubt about it that as of today Drysdale/Sanderson are better than Guhle/Schneider... not by much though.
But looking at player style, I'll take a Guhle over those four on the same level any day of the week.
If he can develop his offensive game, he looks like a complete two way defenceman in the mold of Werenski/Jones.
But he'll likely just be an elite shutdown defenceman if he doesn't bust

One thing to note, and I could be wrong.. but I'm pretty sure Schneider is too old to play next year, while Guhle isn't.. there's some development time between the two.

Schneider was something like 5 days away from the 2019 draft so the direct comparable really isn’t there. He looks like a solid NHL player but is more in the realm of a Chiarot, which isn’t what we were looking for at 15.
Guhle bests him in nearly every other category, while being a birth year behind. I’ll take Guhle today and in the future.
Also, one game never “shows” anything - it’s just that - one game, out of thousands some of these guys will play.

I was commenting in the Russia Canada game that the loser wouldn't win Bronze. These two countries expect to make the final and consider the tournament a bust when they don't. You can throw USA into that mix as well. Finland plays the spoiler role and that country loves any color medal. I'm not sure where Sweden fits in given their horrible elimination game record in recent years.
