GDT: Group B - May 17 - USA (2) vs Slovakia (3) (OT)

[Spawn]

States trailing by one after one. Looked terrible for the last 1/2 the period imo.

 

[Elvs]

I thought Germany would have a good chance to make the QF, but on the expense of Slovakia and not the U.S. Would be fun with all of Germany, Slovakia and Denmark advancing. (No offence americans).

 

[Lumipanda]

Anyone know of a stream for the game? I'm in Sweden and they aren't showing it on tv.

IIHF has it on their youtube, but it is subject to geoblocking, so you may need VPN or something, but either way, here

 

[saintflannel]

Looked like Viedensky tweaked his knee there.

 

[snizzbone*]

Larkin ruining the PP.. He fkd up three times in 30 seconds killing every play they tried.

 

[saintflannel]

That should definitely count.

 

[Eisen]

That should definitely count.

In Germany, it wouldn't.

 

[Scotty B]

By IIHF standards , Nelson's goal never looked good to me...he never got a stick on it...Martin R. with two glorious chances on the pp, score could easily have been 2-0, at that pt.

Yanks started well, couple of devastating hits too...but haven't really had any sustained pressure 5 on 5, since early in the first...

NOT looking good for team red white n blue...and now another SVK pp

 

[Urbanskog]

The IIHF is very inconsistent with this kind of goals.

 

[saintflannel]

Compher.

 

[Pyromaniac]

what a snoozer game

Agreed. Both teams are pretty bad.

 

[Jakk123]

Our offense is just so futile it's unbelievable.

 

[The Sweetness]

Horrible game so far. Larkin is playing very poorly.

 

[Lonny Bohonos]

Whats up with the US. Seem more interested in playing tough guys as opposed to playing hockey.

 

[JetsFan815]

"Larkin playing poorly"? Looks pretty good to me, so many zone entries, moving the puck around nicely, skating well

Kyle Connor needs more icetime

That chance that Matthews had was the only good shift that top line had all game.

 

[JTD]

Team just can't get out of their own way. Every time they start generating some good chances they take some bad penalties. Both penalties by Vatrano and Foligno were completely unnecessary.

 

[JetsFan815]

US needs to run Connor-Larkin-Matthews line in the 3rd if they want to win although my guess is that they'll try to run the clock out and try to go to overtime

I disagree that top line has been bad and Larkin has been a part of that. They haven't had much sustained pressure in the Slovakian end.

Well Matthews had one glorious chance. But I thought best chances belonged to SVK, especially Martin Reway this game. SVK have to feel encouraged. Maybe just one goal away from upset + QF's

One bad bounce, another seeing eye goal and US may be sunk. BUT they have ONLY themselves to blame

 

[saintflannel]

Foligno!

 

[Canuckistani]

Hard to believe that a QF spot is at stake here

 

[Jakk123]

Ciger sits Cehlarik during the last minutes That is just unbelievable, how can someone like him coach our NT.

 

[MaHCK]

USA will lose to any team in the quarters!!

 

[saintflannel]

Would have been nice to have seen a Réway penalty shot.
