USA being Austra-cized in the scoring department

 

[Three On Zero]

Those goal posts must be 2’ wide

When zegras wants to back check he is scaring good at lifting sticks

 

[JiricekSaveUs]

If Zegras doesn’t end with at least 6 points I’ll be disappointed

 

[Kaners PPGs]

Zegras is so much fun to watch.

 

[KaseMeOutside]

I wish Austria were better so we could see what Rossi can do

someone needs to show these guys the multi-quote feature. They're about to get a spamming infraction

Wraneschitznit...

Sounds like a Snoop Dogg lyric

 

[BigBadBoar]

22 shots on goal, 5 or how many into the goal post, and the only goal so far was not even a shot. Crazy.

 

[Three On Zero]

Austria must of watched Vancouver in the playoffs last year

 

[Summer Rose]

Austria's goalie is really good.

 

[Lambo]

Only 1:0 for US it s a Miracle for AUT after 1st Period. Funny game!

 

[PanniniClaus]

More domination here than in the Canada/Germany game.. The difference has been desperation defending and competent goaltending. Austria have to find a way to use the mid ice on the breakout more or get more lobs into the NZ. Tough to get lobs as there is little time . They need to get more pocket plays from the d to the center or more touch plays off the wall from the wingers to try and catch the US d flatfooted..

Man that was domination..

 

[snipes]

Kaliyev has been credited with the goal now. Was he even on the ice????

Probably fumbling his way to the bench, man he’s a terrible skater.

He should have around that already lol

 

[Odie Cleghorn]

And now they finally get it right and change the goal to Helleson form Turcotte and Zegras.

Experience American Hockey

 

[IDuck]

dont think they can do that again if they try.....22 shots (multiple grade A's) and only get 1 goal

This is the game Austria plays every game. We are always the small, the weakest, and not particularly fast. So we are used to playing the shell.

 

[heynowbababooey]

Can't wait to buy a Zegras Anaheim jersey. This kid has the potential to be a franchise player. Hell, I'd go as far as to say captain.

 

[snipes]

Strong period by the Yanks, it’s insane how much iron they’ve hit.

Floodgates close to opening though.

As an American, I respect your game plan. Your goalie playing great certainly helps, and you've been playing well defensively.

 

[NorCalhockey]

Because a good team has never dominated a period but struggled to get the end result.

US not clinical enough with shots 20+ shots but 1 goal) and it’s mostly
one and done. Can’t see this being a winning formula against tougher competition.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Austria should keep 1 guy high out at the US blue line .. defend with 4 .. can't be much worse.. and flip it out and hope for a break away

 

[Osprey]

Kaliyev has been credited with the goal now. Was he even on the ice????

He was in the slot and waved his stick at the puck as it went on net. It's possible that he tipped it slightly. Maybe they just assumed that he did because it was hard to imagine the goaltender letting it by otherwise.
