Uhtred's Bears teammates on Canada deny him a shot at triple gold

[leafsman 207]

Uhtred has had an eventful off-season.  He signed an extension with the Seattle bears but failed in his attempt at joining the triple gold club.  Uhtred had a pretty successful world cup stats wise but his European team were knocked out in round one.  Uhtred finished the round robin second in goals with 7, just 2 behind bears teammate Kris Rice.  Uhtred went into the medal round full of confidence against Canada.  Uhtred's Bears teammates Timothy Brown and Kris Rice shut the door on his triple gold attempt.  While Uhtred had a great game scoring 2 goals and an assist.  This turned out to be not enough as Kris Rice got the hat trick with his overtime winner with Timothy Brown assisting on the winner.  Rice was named first star with Uhtred and Brown named 2nd and 3rd and the bears will hope that happens often in the upcoming season. Uhtred will now have one more chance to win the World cup if he makes the roster for his last eligible world cup in 2 seasons from now. 

 

The loss was very disappointing for Uhtred but he was happy to sign a deal with Seattle to remain a bear potentially for the rest of his carer. Uhtred signed a 2 year extension that will bring him to the end of his career.  "I love playing in Seattle and it would be great to finish my career here.  I don't have a no trade clause so anything can happen but it would be great to play my whole career with one organization.  If my play drops in the final year of the deal and they want to trade me ill accept that but my preference would be to retire a bear"
