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.

Goalies get hot, teams grip the stick too tight, it happens. I agree with the lack of sustained o-zone pressure, I noted that earlier as well, but it got better.

"We are so proud to come through qualifying to be here"

I'm sure they are, but that doesn't sound all that great coming from Rossi who decided not to play in that qualifying because he was busy in the CHL in his draft season, and didn't think Austria would make it through(IIRC they were expect to finish 4th or 5th)

It was virtually constant pressure in the Austrian zone the whole period.....They hit about a half dozen posts....What do you consider clinical? A millimeter?

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.
Ah yes, the bunker then hit ‘em on the counter. As a long time fan of the US Men’s Senior Soccer Team, I’m familiar with this strategy.

The multiple posts were part of the problem but if it takes mad goal mouth scrambles for more goals, so be it. Instead, the high danger chances are of the one and done variety. But as others have posted, hopefully, flood gates will now open for the US. Bad puck luck will be all good luck!

I’m saying the US puts up 7 in period two. Caufield with a natural hatty.

A commentator just mentioned that there is no relegation this year, so Austria stays in the top group regardless.

This year's roster seems like a bunch of forwards who can crash the net and use our bodies to create space, but if we're given space due to Austria's defensive scheme or talent disparity, we look kind of lost.
