“It was good to build off of
- Cptmjl[Sunday] because you don’t want to have one good game and then not build off of that. There’s some things in this game we can build on and some things that we’ll have to correct a bit.” - Barry Trotz

The bold is exactly what makes Trotz the best coach this team has had since Arbor.

Agree on this but, He just needs to learn what a 1st line player is and a 4th line player.

From the Athletic:
“You rely so much on the top part of your lineup. Over the length of the season, the Caseys, the guys who get a lot of the grunt work — penalty killing, six-on-five — when they score, that helps the whole bench,” Trotz said. “Leo stepped in from being out of the lineup to filling in well for Clutter, our lines are a little more spread out, everyone’s contributing, no one’s worried about ice time. They’re just worried about winning hockey games.”

Spread out WTF Barry ?

Agreed. If he continues to read this thread he’ll be a better coach because of it.

That was a sad tournament for the US. Horrible coaching and a couple of no-shows from high-end prospects did them in.

Wahlstrom was one of their better players but he skirted the line a lot and crossed it a few times, including that ejection at the end of this game. Love that he plays with a major edge, but he's gotta reign that in a little bit. He's a bull out there.

They couldn't get pucks deep and forecheck and they didnt get pucks to the net or crash it and zero center net drive. They tried to be fancy all the time and shat all over themselves and the pk was brutal all tournament

It was really obvious that the coaching was just subpar. The entire team was grossly undisciplined and just a mess as far as the team-game went. Caufield and Turcotte combining for one goal and three assists in 5 games is atrocious, especially when Caufield is considered one of the best pure goalscorers in the tournament and Turcotte was the 5th overall pick

Yea theybtook a ton of undisciplined penalties and caufield was awol outside of ot winner vs the Czechs. The pk was BRUTAL 4 ppg against vs canada, you'd think at that level the coaching would be legit
