Boston – Losing 4 nations for Canada lost a message to the United States of losing a message: The team has come to the USA, and it is not going anywhere soon.
And it is like Canada.
The permanent image of the tournament will be the overtime goal of Conner McDwid, which sent Canada 3–2 to win the team USA 3–2 at the TD Garden on Thursday night. But some American players said that whatever Americans completed, they left an indelible impression.
“I think I would say that this is a very playground in my opinion,” said Team USA captain Auston Mathews. “It could go in any way.”
Tournament MVP and Colorado avalanche center Nathan McCinone, who, scored the first goal of the game before the Brady Trophy Takchuk of Team USA, which was 1-1 with less than four minutes in the first time.
Team USA took its only lead when Jake Sanderson, the defenseman of Ottawa Senators, scored more than seven minutes in the second round, before Canada attracted the game even after about seven minutes.
According to the Matrix of the Natural State Trick, the US controlled the third period and overtime occupation. The last two frames had a shot-shay of over 65 percent, generating five high-cost opportunities.
American overtime was aggressive as he launched six shots, only Canada and St. Louis Blues goalkeeper Jordan Binington to be perfect in overtime before McDawid’s winner goal.
Team USA and Pittsburgh Penguin coach Mike Sulivan said, “It was the fastest hockey, I have been part of the entire tournament, and was no different tonight.” “You look at overtime, we had three or four grade-a look. We don’t score. They get an icing, and they score. I don’t know if we can break it in any way It was one.
“I thought it was an incredible performance of hockey on both sides, and it was best from there.”
Team USA and Columbus Blue Jacket Defenseman Zach Verenskey echoed the spirit that Americans should leave to encourage Thursday’s game.
“We have proved tonight and for everyone that we are there with Canada,” he said. “This is someone’s game. I think tonight we started a little slow, but it came down for overtime and it came down for a shot. Finally, it was the one who won it, but I think I think We should be excited for us.
How to reach America at that point, how USA Hockey made development weapons such as National Team Development Program, an incubator that played a role in developing many rosters of the team USA.
In turn, the US became a perennial medal favorite at the U -20 World Junior Championship, a tournament that is seen as a proven ground for the next wave of talent.
Since 2010, the US has ended with a medal and won the WJC six times. Its most recent victory came this year, which has won the US for the first time in the years in consecutive years.
“I think it’s great, and I think it’s great,” Werenskey said about the American development model. “All people went through NTDP and even coming here for two weeks, it was one of the nearest groups that I was around. It was great. … Everyone bought and I bought and I bought me It seems that it is a will what is USA hockey right now we expect to win from young age, and we expect gold medal games.
Team USA forward and Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin is another player who went through NTDP. He shared how he hoped what the US did in 4 countries, more Americans will be motivated to participate in the men’s world championship in summer.
Canada has won the World Championship 28 times, the highest in any nation. There are two gold medals in the US, which ranks sixth all the time, but won those medals in 1933 and 1960.
Larkin, WHDO has represented the world of five men, said that USA Hockey had a “difficult time” players to participate in the tournament. He said that he hoped that the team will feel the need to play in the men’s world more than the team from 4 countries of the USA.
“I think people are watching this at home and I hope they want a piece of it,” Larkin said. “They go to the World Championship and prove themselves and play for their country. We start winning that tournament. I think Canada, where do they go, and they play. It is that he The place is proud of your country.
Sulivan smiled and said what Larkin said about the men’s world and how 4 nation teams can serve as a recruitment tool to include more Americans with USA setup.
The way Sulivan sees it, there is no reason for any American player not to join with his nation.
“If you love hockey,” he said, “It would not be difficult to get excited.”
