1:0 reds scored

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Russia with their first sustained pressure scores. 1-0.

Does Kinkaid have a Swiss dual citizenship? He's clearly been eating too much cheese.

 

[William H Bonney]

Oh, Kinkaid. You can't give up that weak goal.

 

[Finnished]

Good to see Telegin's broken ankle was healed over night.. thats some miraculous **** right there! He must be made a saint..

Terrible that the only TV coverage of this game in the United States is online via LIVE Extra at NBCSports.com
I understand if there is LIVE programs being shown on NBCSN while the game is being played like yesterday (Car Auction/Preakness) but there is none this morning.

Well maybe launch an online campaign calling NBC out...And maybe reminding all n sundry that America's Greatest Sporting Moment (not even broadcast live stateside ) was USA vs RUS/CCCP in Lake Placid..

This young, exuberant and ( on paper ) over matched USA squad, really is reminiscent of that Lake Placid Team...

Unfortunately they haven't ( though no fault of their own ) captured the collective consciousness of their fellow Americans...

The vast majority of Yanks remain oblivious to what has been, and may continue to be...

A truly remarkable David vs Goliath-esque story-line...

Why does Miller keep saying Znarok wasn't the Head Coach of Team Russia last year? He said it yesterday as well. He's got nobody to correct him over there. Was Miller broadcasting the tournament last year or was it TSN B crew?

 

[FinRanger]

Pretty good atmosphere and intensity for Bronze game IMO. Matthews with few mistakes but I have realised that every player makes those but when you observe some player closely you just see them better.

Game starting to heat up. Good action now. Good to see Connor back, he had a nice rush. Hanifin is so smooth he is going to be a very good NHL D man. You tend to forget how young he still is.

Russia on the PP. big kill for USA to stay in the game.

**** 2:0 Wake up, USA!

 

[The Winter Soldier]

2-0 Russia as they convert quickly on the PP.

 

[I Am The Stig]

Kinkaid continuing his great goaltending I see.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Team Russia starting to take over the game. Almost score again. This time Kinkaid makes a big save to keep USA in the game.

 

[kp61c]

**** 2:0 Wake up, USA! If Russians win, they're gonna politicize this game on kiselov tv.

politicize a game against american kids? that'd be a new low, even for kiselev.

Give him 20+5

 

[Startseva]

2:0 Pff why yesterday puck did not get in? were made much more dangerous shoots ah well..

DJ blasting soviet music again.

I hear the sounds of explosions

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Good Clean hit by Orlov. Hopefully Schroeder is okay.

 

[MMANumminen]

Nice hipcheck

 

[The Winter Soldier]

USA still leading in shots on goal 9-8.

 

[VainGretzky]

Kinkaid is not very good

 

[JTD]

Keith Kinkaid is so bad. Had a good game vs the Czechs but other than that he's been a sieve in the tournament. This team would have had a real shot at being in the Gold Medal game with a legit goalie.

 

[Like Wall]

Russians humiliating USA with body checks.

 

[VainGretzky]

Lol @ American player on bench telling him to get up slower
