Don't know why the Russian flag got so big all of a sudden. Strange.

Danny aus den Birken will be the starter for Germany in this game.

 

[Namejs]

Let's go Germany!

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Great job today Belarus. Go USA!

 

[sturmthis]

Kink is suspended for this game.

 

[Jussi]

Kink is suspended for this game.

A minor kink.

 

[OG]

5:45am...

 

[Sanderson]

Kink is suspended for this game.

Kink has been hit quite hard recently, first two utterly bogus penalties where he wasn't involved in anything and now a suspension that is equally ridiculous.

 

[Woodhouse]

Here's the Team USA Game Notes and Line Chart.

 

[Woodhouse]

Draisaitl saw his centering pass redirected in past Thomas, but the goal was disallowed after review, citing a backheel kicking motion from Seidenberg. Team USA's followed that break with two trips to the penalty box.

 

[DrunkElkCZ]

omg Gaudreau... he is so good

 

[Babula]

Weiss !!! first shot at the tournament, means first goal for him.

 

[Babula]

A minor kink.

 

[Maverick41]

That must have been close to the worst power play in the history of the world.

Beauty by Shore.

 

[Maverick41]

Very nice pass by Draisaitl. Not so slow once he hits his stride.

 

[Maverick41]

Good PP by Team USA to make it 3-2.

Goal by Donovan but this was mostly Gaudreau.

 

[Maverick41]

Draisaitl ties it up with his first goal.

 

[ViCiieux]

Tim Thomas is soo bad..

 

[Shoalzie]

Draisaitl and Gaudreau are putting on a show.

 

[Maverick41]

Tim Thomas is soo bad..

That is very true, but usually that wouldn't matter vs. Germany. So far in this tournament this team could barely score on a cardboard goalie.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Draisaitl's putting on a show

 

[Woodhouse]

A couple gifs of USA goals ... Gaudreau's assist to Abdelkader and Shore's SHG:

 

[johnnystormcgy]

Draisatl skating with his head down and those big shoulders reminds a bit of Lindros, he keeps that up and he's going to get his clock cleaned.

 

[BobDobolina]

Ridiculous goal from Gaudreau

 

[Hemsky001]

oh man Gaudreau is awesome
