USA!

Congratulations Team USA 2010 World Junior Champions!

The Rangers draftees Team Captain Derek Stephan 2008 51st pick, Chris Kreider 2009 19th pick and Ryan Bourque 2009 80th pick lead the way to Team USA’s victory over a stunned Team Canada in Saskatoon tonight.

This was an incredible game. After USA took a 5-3 lead in the third periond, Team Canada tied the game and forced the overtime. USA’s Carlson scored a beautifully skilled goal in overtime on a two on one breakaway.

Credit to both teams for a tremendously entertaining game and tournament. With gifted young players like these, the Olympics should go back to being an amateur only contest. This tournament should have been nationally televised on Versus in the USA. It would inspire kids to play and everyone to learn, love and watch the great sport of ice hockey.

Gary Bettman, are you listening?
