Congrats to Hill. I unlike some of the people on here can admit when I was wrong. I didnt think Hill had any chance at beating Roseau, they proved me wrong. I dont agree with how they had to get into the crosschecking game like they did but a win is a win.

Oliver played the first line and Ness way too much all night long. They didn't have enough energy to mount a comeback in the third.
Hard to summon up a lot of energy when you are getting mugged and pistol-whipped for the first two periods. Hill did what they had to do to win, but obviously that meant playing cheap and dirty.

Then your beef should be the officiatin not with Hill. If the refs won't call it why should Hill stop? They did it in all 3 games and got away with it, hats off to them. They found a weakness in the system and exploited it, that's good coaching.
Hill won 3 games, all by 3 goals or more. I don't care how they did it, that's impressive.
FWIW, how many PP goals did these 3 teams amass when they did have the chance? It wasn't the lack of powerplays that lost the game for any of them.
I will say this though, at least 2 of the officials who worked the tournament are among the worst I see year in and year out. The selection process needs to be changed so we see the best, not the Association heads and Clinicians.
