Time for Auston to get some points.

 

[Bookker]

Chakiachvili (D) is out due to an injury in the last game.

We will play with just 6 Dmen for the rest of the tournament (5 injuries now)

If USA can't crush us there is a problem

 

[Billy Kvcmu]

Are they ever gonna give Demko a chance?

 

[weems]

Great first shift for Matthews.

 

[HockeyGuruPitka]

anyone that is watching and can provide score updates, that would be much appreciated.

Thanks

 

[RNCDevil]

The US team has no respect for France. This is a disgrace. They are barely skating, barely connecting on passes and generally playing like it's a charity event. That PP was horrible. I hope they wake up.

 

[stavs*]

France is a good skating team, aside from that they don't have much skill

 

[Irzi]

That has to be the most ridiculous hooking call I've ever seen

 

[stavs*]

no finish on this US team

 

[Mahonkinen]

Matthews coulve use that wrister more on that pp. He gave couple of giod passes tho

 

[RNCDevil]

Really not a fan of Hanafin.

 

[Pyromaniac]

0-0 after 1st. Wish the French would have scored on that PP there.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Really not a fan of Hanafin.

I'm not a fan of Hanafin either but I am a fan of Hanifin.

 

[RNCDevil]

Apologies to the Hanifin clan.

Personally thought their compete level was great, first to every puck, finished checks got in scrums...There is a clear sign of hustle, the team just isn't very skilled. The team is grinding and that's the only way we are going to win any games.

Will be nice to add Nelson to the line-up

Absolutely. Probably the last time I have seen a lack of hustle in a US jersey at any level, men or women's would probably be the 2014 Bronze Medal Game. I don't think that is there problem today, or will ever be in this tournament.

 

[Pyromaniac]

Hanifin has been terrible in this game. Like really really bad.

- Once they got setup in the o-zone, yes. In the d-zone, not so much
- I'm thinking more about intent, and mental sharpness. Carter and Ferraro have repeatedly mentioned that the first was pretty low energy.

 

[tony d]

Looking at the standings, USA shouldn't take France lightly. France is currently in a playoff spot, the US isn't.

 

[Zybalto]

Is the ice a little rough? Iv'e seen more than a few players wiping out.

 

[fouba]

Looks kinda like finland hungary yesterday, france defending and breaking the game. Dont think it will be that hard to win the game for usa in the end though 3-0

 

[HockeyGuruPitka]

This thread needs more Finland

Except Finland was actually generating quality chances but were facing a hot goalie. The US hasn't done much of anything.
