We are probably too late to take advantage of the Minnesota player losses (we play them 1/28, 1/29

We are probably too early to take advantage of the Michigan player losses (we play them 2/25, 2/26

This is not good news for us -- other B1G teams will take advantage of the missing players and we will not.


Wouldn't they leave early enough. for training and

practicing with the Olympic team to make them unavailable for our games on the 28th and 29th. They are not just going to show up in China on 2/4.

USA’s first match is the night of 2/10 in China so morning of 2/10 here.

I’m guessing on the buffer but I would think they’ll try to minimize life disruption.

Then again, I don’t know if China laws require them to bubble for 2 weeks before matches or something crazy like that. I looked around for a travel schedule and found nothing.
