Team USA 7 - Team France 0

 

[Lambo]

USA vs France 6:2

 

[ijuka]

Either USA wins 5-1 or France wins 2-1.

Depends on whether USA comes to play or coast.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Hopefully USA got the cobwebs out

 

[McJutila]

USA powerplay lines?

 

[Khokhlach86]

USA powerplay lines?

Eichel-Van Riemsdyk-Debrincat-Kane-Suter
Keller-Larkin-J.Hughes-Gaudreau-Q.Hughes

 

[Belizarius]

That's tough one for us. Our defense is still suspect...

As a media here in Kosice, I can confirm Ylonen will start in goal for France.

France is so bad. It's been a while since I've saw them play this bad. USA doesn't have to give everything to win this.

what ?
edit:didn't know the game already started

 

[Belizarius]

Terrible 1st period. We're late on every action.
We knew defense was below average and it shows.
Our 4 best players are not there and it's difficult for the others to step up. Half of the roster has less than 7 games in WC, the lack of experience is ugly.

 

[ijuka]

Oh dear, this France's bad. USA's not playing great but somehow France's downright awful. I thought they'd be better, I don't remember them having been this bad in the past few events.

By the way, drives me insane how TSN pronounces Ylönen "Jalonen".

 

[letsgocaps]

Couple of good shifts there to start the 2nd period

 

[Zamuz]

Usa is putting up a 5% effort

Usa is putting up a 5% effort

How did you measure that

 

[Emperoreddy]

Between Detroit’s dumbass head coach and our dumb ass HC being an assistant, my hopes are not high.

 

[Belizarius]

That's a better team France there. Lot of speed, a crossbar and huge scoring chances.

 

[Friar85]

French have been terrific this period. Loved Bertrand’s determination getting the puck to the net. I am worried about this US team. Third pairing isn’t ready to play at this level and no one is interested in getting inside position anywhere on the ice.

 

[Friar85]

Hequefeuille is all over the ice isn’t he? I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a defenseman in front of the puck as much as he is.

 

[letsgocaps]

Too many turnovers/ bad defensive play.

 

[Belizarius]

Too many missed scoring chances... this lack of finish is so frustrating in this 2nd period

Yeah, this is not a 5-0 game. Demko has been good, Ylonen probably wants two back.

 

[DangeRouss]

France deserves a goal
a good game to learn for our youngsters

I like the mix of young and veterans for USA
Wouldn't be surprised to see them on the podium of the tournament

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Mika Saukkonen (finnish guy who is calling this game for C More Sports),,.. his name pronunciation is so embarrassing
that its not funny, but really annoying.

Brady Skjei becomes Braddy Skay
van Riemsdyk becomes vanrimmsdick
Hughes becomes Hughex
Eichel becomes Eihell

(no joke)

 

[Friar85]

Watched the Denmark game too, France is building some pretty good depth. Perret, Rech, Thiry, Gallet, Bozon, Claireaux, Texier, etc give them the ability to be competitive even without their top guys being available.
