[EON]

What did I miss?

he juggled the puck down the ice, was impressive

 

[Muston Atthews]

What a weak goal

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Samsonov choking it up

 

[Ban Hammered]

Goal!

 

[IDuck]

yikes

 

[Killahpunk]

White scores a big goal to give the USA a 3-2 lead late in the 2nd.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Yah!

 

[snipes]

Yanks fighting back for the lead. Great game so far.

 

[rhinoshawarma]

Kaprisov is a special player, wild have such good talent coming

 

[mindfly]

Abysmal shift from #26 in Russia

Also, Samsonov is no Vasilevsky

 

[Kase]

Really nice cross-ice pass from Kaprizov.

 

[McMozesmadness]

Sergachev has been a disaster for the Russians this tourney.

 

[Ban Hammered]

Think that one hit the dman. Hard to blame Samsonov there. Came as a change-up

 

[rynryn]

Kaprizov, Kunin, Greenway, Eriksson Ek -- man the Wild prospects really stealing the show. Minny fans should be stoked.

We are!!!

 

[canwincup]

Terrible shift by Sergachev

 

[Kovalev27]

Ugh been there it changes speed and knuckles and you kind of swing and miss as a goalie. Having said that it's awful feeling and not a good goal.

Samsonov has just not been good enough here today

 

[TLEH]

How can you blame the goalie LOL

 

[TimeZone]

Bracco really isn't very fast for such a small dude. I have my doubts he'll succeed at the next level.

 

[c9gunner]

Greenway is a beast

 

[rynryn]

Kaprisov is a special player, wild have such good talent coming

Will be the biggest offensive talent we've had except for Gaborik. Maybe better?

 

[Jaykay]

Terry and Roslovic look excellent together. Anyone know why Laczynski is out?

 

[SI90]

USA baby

 

[Jaykay]

Will be the biggest offensive talent we've had except for Gaborik. Maybe better?

Very different but I think he could be better.

Gabby was a 40-40 player under Lemaire of all coaches, I'd be stoked if Kaprizov gets to be a 30-30 or better player.

 

[Kovalev27]

I notice samsonov has fantastic size and general technique but he doesn't move very well at all to his right. Very awkward and slow moving to his blocker side.
