Augustine.

Hmmm............

Goaltending.

 

[Chainshot]

Did not like Ralph on that GA.

 

[Zaar]

But three goals are more than I expected. And it's Lenny

 

[Czechboy]

Good job Germany... glad my prediction was wrong.

 

[Quaz]

Did not like Ralph on that GA.

Not sure what else he could have done there except block the shot. Buium didn’t tie his guy up in front of the net.

 

[Zaar]

Strange whistle with USA in posession.

 

[Zaar]

...

 

[SI90]

Ziemer goal

 

[Daeni10]

So this was conclusive? German TV certainly hasn't had a camera that showed it

 

[jetsforever]

Do they not have an overhead camera?

 

[Trash Panda]

Do they not have an overhead camera?

NHLN had the overhead shot.

 

[nickp91]

Roller coaster for those with the USA

 

[Mathieu]

Didn't look conclusive to me either.

Probably wouldn't have changed anything but I think Germany got screwed over on both video review this game.. First one looked like clear goalie interference to me!

 

[Zaar]

So this was conclusive? German TV certainly hasn't had a camera that showed it

No, it wasn't. I don't know what perspective the refs were able to watch, but from from my pov there was no clear evidence to overrule the on ice decision.

 

[OttersFan]

Any idea where to purchase pucks from the tournament?

 

[Zaar]

Giving up four goals against Germany can't be satisfactory for Team USA,

 

[jj cale]

Some aspects of this game look very impressive for the U.S, others not so much.

Bit of a mixed bag performance IMO.

 

[BoHorvat 53]

It's early/just 1 game but Augustine doesn't look on the same level he was in last year's tournament

 

[jetsforever]

Wow bit of a rout here

 

[Zaar]

F*k. I had hoped we could prevent a double-digit defeat.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Gabe Perreault player of the game for team USA

 

[boredmale]

Yeah, breaker one-nine
This here's the Rubber Duck
You got a copy on me Pig Pen, c'mon?
Uh, yeah, 10-4 Pig Pen, fer sure, fer sure
By golly it's clean clear to Flag Town, c'mon
Yeah, its a big 10-4 there, Pig Pen
Yeah, we definitely got the front door, Good Buddy
Mercy sakes alive, looks like we've got us a convoy

 

[SI90]

He’s so underwhelming.

1g 1a playing minimal minutes. Stop the bullshit

 

[The Crypto Guy]

1g 1a playing minimal minutes. Stop the bullshit

He definitely came up clutch with that big goal in the 3rd to give US that needed 6 goal lead.

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

10 goals and 56 shots are dominant offensive numbers, but I have to agree.

Buium trying to do too much. Some bad turnovers and too-cute passes. Augustine looking shaky.

Game 1 against weak opposition (no offense, Deutschland bros) is the time to make mistakes to be corrected by the coaching staff. Augustine should be fine; too much of a history of success to think he'll falter.
