Team USA 12 - Team Great Britain 2

 

[Puck Dogg]

One of those games in the tournament where the only question is how many US will score and by which margin they win.

Likelihood of team GB winning US is less than 1 in 100, and I might be generous here.

 

[unknownbrother]

At least Jack Hughes might finally score some points

 

[GBHockey]

Expecting USA to issue GB's first double digits loss of the tournament. I don't see us having any more than 15 shots either, and definitely no goals!

 

[Lambo]

12:0

 

[Daninja]

Schneider in the net again?

 

[Chloraflora]

*gulp* can we just forfeit?

 

[TheBigFour]

10-0 USA

 

[OKOptimistic]

Am I the only one nervous by this game? If we lose to GB imma kill myself.

 

[WeAre]

WTF Keller plays after that leg sweep against Finland??? How this is possible.

Trump and Brown envelopes again.

 

[mattihp]

6-1 US.

 

[Chevx]

Schneider in the net again?

Hopefully Demko gets this game... And all the following ones lol.

What's the point in taking imports like Billingsley if they're just going to sit

What's the point in taking imports like Billingsley if they're just going to sit

He was scratched yesterday in favour of going for 13 forwards, in a game GB marked as winnable. GB underestimated Denmark severely and played a horrendous game, they thought the best way to approach the game would be offence. They were wrong.

I'd expect Billingsley to play today, though I wish we had more competent defenceman as half of them deserve scratching after yesterday.

 

[ijuka]

The only question is whether USA will score in double digits or not.

 

[Tomas W]

I hope that the GB players can see some fun in this..

 

[FinnishSniper]

Hughes should pot a couple of points, this is beer league level for the US

 

[Pensionsraddare]

Schneider in the net again?

That would at least increase GB:s chances to score a couple in this game

 

[GBHockey]

The odds on Demko scoring a goal are probably better than the odds of GB in its entirety scoring a goal today.

 

[IAM]

I hope USA won't beat them too bad. Show some respect and don't let it go into two digits

 

[aonb]

guys, how was Glendening this tournament so far?

 

[AdamParrot]

Demko or Schneider today?

 

[Khokhlach86]

Demko or Schneider today?

Demko
Thatcher Demko is expected to start in goal for the U.S

Be humble GB, park the bus and live on counters.

The way you played Denmark like they were an equal team was naive.
