Same exact lines and pairings as Czechia I believe. It is Swayman's net as well.

I’m slightly nervous about starting Swayman and think Daccord might be a better choice, but Swayman definitely earned the start based on his play last game.

I feel like all US does is lose QF games at the Mens level. Mandela effect?

You did what you needed to do early - score first. Well done. Now put a 2nd goal on the board and get rid of the Finns.
Please knock these "divers" out and we'll see you in the semis for some real North American "put the IIHF whistles away" hockey.

Need to make it more difficult for the Fins to get out of their own zone.

I just thought ive heard Kellers name once all game. Then this idiotic pick play.
Not a good period at all. Most of the period went completely according to Finland's playbook. I don't know. Maybe their legs are still in Herning. Luckily at least one PP goal.
hopefully that is the worst we look- and if we do get back to our game, Finland is in trouble. If not, we are likely toast as Finland always finds ways to win ugly ass games
I'd be fine with that. We didn't play very well in the first period, but it ended with a tied score so whatever I guess. Onward and hopefully upward from here.

NO OFFENSE, but where is the enthusiasm from the U.S. team? They look so... unhappy.
You were willing to climb over glass to win the 4NC, let's see a LITTLE of THAT here.

Our give-a-shit-o-meter for this tournament is often lacking.
It is too easy for Finland right now. They can't create any pressure in their D zone. It is very hard to see that we are going to win this when we are trying to play their game.

I realize playing against the Finns AND the refs can be exhausting but you are close. One goal.
Get to the semis against (hopefully) Canada and let the chips fall where they may.
that was no different than the hold on Garland they didn't call
they are getting pucks on net, we can't stay out the box not a good recipe. Worst scenario is happening right now, trailing these clowns

You are down by one so you have nothing to lose. You have the talent, just play HARD hockey and let whatever happens happen.
