Asunto: USA U-20 Team

Figured we could use a forum for each team.

We need some RWs and some cover for RDs.

Didn't expect this win. Cool.

Good win

Great job guys!

Nice win guys!

I was just looking at the players we have and was thinking about what I can do with these guys.

We currently have 35 players in the team, of which, 28 are called up. I keep receiving PMs from other users who want me to check out their players. That is a good thing because it means that we could still find someone that will be quite useful to our u20 team. Since we have 15 spots to fill still, I think we can easily add those guys if we find them.

We are quite thin in defense and at RW. We need a few more options to cover for injuries. The u18 team has some promising talent so that bodes well for next year.

Another thing I'd like to mention is that if your player goes to training camp, they will start that in the friendly that week. They will get an extra training boost so that should help the national team and the club. I'd recommend you save at least ONE training camp for the week after the playoffs if your player is currently a starter in the team.

Moreover in terms of training, we need some of our wingers to have a higher shooting rating. I will PM some managers with this suggestion, but remember, it's only a suggestion. I do not like to force anything on anyone.

Finally, the win against Lithuania was a nice surprise. They have better players than us but we put the puck in the net and that is what counts. In the next game against Arg I will try a different lineup, meaning that I will try some different line combinations. That's all I'll say about that right now. You'll find out more after the match.

Oh, and I'll be travelling for work again next week so I'll be checking my PMs and forum only after dinner time.

I don't know what to say. Really sad we gave up 9 goals, but also glad we scored 6. Weird game. 15 goals total.

Don't worry it is a developing period right now. There are a lot more friendlies before the tournament. Hang in there.

Did you notice he played you on Normal to your Very Low. So I think you did fine. He wasted energy that he will need later.

Yeah, that was weird. Nevertheless, we shouldn't have given up 9 goals. I'm surprised the 4th line was a -4 and NO goals. They are pretty good shooting wise.

Who knows what will happen in these early games when there is no chemistry built up yet.

They also had 0 spectators...What's up with that?

Argentina's U20 team doesn't have an arena selected for some reason.

Holy crap, we beat Ze Germans. Special teams baby.
