Judd Zulgad

He wants to win everything, and I don't think I necessarily question that, but he was playing like a captain, whereas Austin Matthews,

as we've talked in our text thread, he seems very disinterested in being there, but he also kind of plays that way for Toronto too.

Half the time.

It's like, what are you doing here?

But like you have the skill.

Jake Gensel is another guy who I think it's taken him a little while to warm up.

I was expecting him to come out on absolute fire.

Matt Boldy's kind of in, in that in between, I think we've seen some really good things from him as well.

And in a lot of effort, but I think that's the U S is problem is it's not even just the whole team game collectively, but

taking a little bit longer to get there but some of those superstars that we were just talking about aren't playing up to that like it's the olympics like let's go boys like let's go and that's where it's almost like the buy is going to be great but part of me is like i want you to play again tomorrow i want you to go like take this momentum and just like let's roll because you finally have it clicking i mean even in all three of these games

actually suffice, not today, but the previous two, again, it's that third period.

It's much like the Minnesota Wild, right?

Like all of a sudden we're going to come alive in the third and be like, oh, we can do this.

We did this.

That's how Team USA plays, which is, you know, obviously interesting given Bill Guerin and John Hines and positions that they are too.

But I think it's also on some of those individual guys, as well as the team in general, getting to that game much, much quicker from puck drop.

but he has good players in front of him.

The defense, right?

Like, I mean, that's where it's, that's going to be your savior.

You need those guys to continue to do what they've been doing both offensively and defensively on both sides of the puck, right?
