Sad that Zary sat for most of this tournament, when things got hard or we needed a big play he was there to make it. He should have been given ample play time over 5-6 guys.
When we needed a big d zone stop his back checking was on point.
But hey, at least we had 4-5 guys show up to blow out the easy teams early on and force the coach into thinking that playing them and giving them big minutes would be beneficial.
- Tomasino, Mercer, Holloway, Suzuki were all no shows for most games.
- McMichael, Krebs and Perfetti were bubble players at best.
- Drysdale invisible/ineffective for the most part
- Byfield had 1 big game but failed to utilize his size for the most part again
- Cozens was good, Pelletier was good, Byram had quite a few good games but again looked gassed this entire gold medal game
Nobody stepped up and carried the team tonight, US played well but Canada didn't push back.
