PGT: Game 2: United States 2 - Slovakia 1

[SI90]

Here we go boys!!! USA All the Way!!! Let’s go!!!

 

[clydesdale line]

USA! USA! USA!

 

[Conrad McBenis]

Let's f***ing GO!

 

[talitintti]

Slovensko do toho!

God damn the arms on the American jerseys are distractingly awful. Who thought they should do that.

 

[Joey Moss]

These USA jerseys are awful

Ruzicka-Roman-Popisil Flames prospect line

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

How would u do it?

Cates isn't a top 6 forward. Don't like Poehling on the wing or Robertson on the shutdown line. Cockerill should be the 13th forward. Move up Chmelevski. Pairs aren't what what was listed, so those actually look better. Keyser would be the third goalie, if I was coach. No reason to scratch Knight. You want him playing before next year in one of these low-leverage games, regardless if he's the starter or not.

 

[SI90]

Keyser has a sweet Lid!!!

Only thing I can say is I don't think any federation will ever give any games in this tournament to a player as development for another tournament. Knight playing or not playing really won't have much of an effect on how well he does next year....what he does in the next year will. The States also lost to Slovakia last year so the low-leverage thing probably doesn't play.

Do TSn announcers know there is 2 teams on the ice?

 

[SI90]

Damn that was a nice stretch pass by Robertson

 

[TimeZone]

What # is Jack Hughes? This is the first USA game I've caught.

Don't expect Button to talk about anyone without the last name Hughes tonight.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Nice pass Robertson.

 

[tobu]

Not much happened so far, but I'm liking the speed.

He was 6 in the pre-tourney I believe.

I also think he's the best goalie.

 

[SI90]

Damn great chance for Madden

 

[Plub]

Would like to see a bit more jump from the U.S. SVK is doing a great job of completely clogging up the neutral zone, though.

 

[tobu]

Awful line change by Slovakia there

 

[SI90]

#6

 

[tobu]

Good hands by Ruzicka

 

[Scrantonicity 2]

what the hell are the US wearing

That is fair. It doesn't seem that USA Hockey does though and is going with him as the #3. Third goalies basically never see a game in this tournament.
