James ahead of the Rock for now (until the Rock gets his ring in Detroit that is). James won a national championship and I believe his injury and subsequent return in the frozen four was a huge motivating force for that team. <br /><br />Carle is without a doubt the best recruit of the modern era. <br /><br />I'd argue that 2001 was our best recruiting class of the decade. Back-to-back national championships and most wins ever by a single class. Also, they were all high talent blue collar guys. Didn't have enough talent to leave early for the pros so they all stayed around through their senior year and provided the leadership necessary to win back-to-back championships.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-88210310920726119342009-12-30T18:13:22.250-07:002009-12-30T18:13:22.250-07:00dggoddard said...

Colborne is up there because he is a first round draft pick. <br /><br />Carle may be DU's best recruit ever.

Canada has the best players in the world at this age level.<br /><br />Can Donovan play shut down defense against elite competition? Will Zucker's speed and tenacity hold up against Canada's speed, skill & size.<br /><br />Certainly both players have exceeded all expectations thus far. Hope the team goes out there, has fun and plays great.dggoddardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17196208.post-4253793066893279592009-12-29T22:42:35.887-07:002009-12-29T22:42:35.887-07:00Very nice game for Zucker.

This tourney is owned by 19 year olds, so to see Zucker as a younger guy making a difference at this kind of level is really nice surprise - good for his draft stock, good for Team USA, and good for DU.<br /><br />Zucker plays very tenaciously and without fear, and that is what is leading to his early success as he drives the net.<br /><br />The opponents are going to be much more difficult the rest of the way, so if Zucker can continue to contribute, his confidence will really skyrocket.puck swaminoreply@blogger.com
