Let's get this party started! Go USA!

 

[Hennessy]

Loyalties require me to root for the US, but my love of underdogs has me leaning towards Germany.

Regardless, this should be USA in a relative walk.

We're still getting things together perhaps. Easier time against a team like Germany. The Germans presumably play much better together than we do, so I'm expecting a close game that we eventually pull away from, say, 5-2.

 

[JackSlater]

Good crowd and I like how weird this arena looks. I'll predict a 5-2 US win.

 

[PanniniClaus]

JJ was wheeling and dealing.. Caufield trip.

 

[JackSlater]

Dumb penalty to take there and the German player made sure that the ref was not going to miss it.

 

[Summer Rose]

1-0 USA!

 

[Summer Rose]

2-0 USA! Kesselring gets on the board.

 

[Lambo]

Kesselring! What a name!

 

[erikhamren]

Ouf Will Smith

 

[Summer Rose]

What a block by the German defender.

 

[Summer Rose]

Augustine coming in. Interesting.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

Stat & highlight watched Kesselring since the Oilers drafted him and wasn't too thrilled when he got dealt to the Coyotes. Happy he's doing well but I wish he'd still be in Edmonton.

 

[Sweetnut]

Kesselring is a name that should raise some eyebrows in Germany, lol.

 

[Summer Rose]

3-0 USA on the power play!

 

[JackSlater]

Gaudreau scores crashing the net, as usual.

 

[Obvious Fabertism]

Gaudreau makes it 3-0 on the PP.

 

[Summer Rose]

Germany cuts into the lead. Oh well.

 

[JackSlater]

Germany pokes one in. Didn't hear a whistle which would negate it.

 

[EHCler]

US coaches buying time to check for the challange.

Goal well deserved. Wasted too many chances today opposed to yesterday

Kesselring is a name that should raise some eyebrows in Germany, lol.

general kesselring. the very able commander of the italian front.

Finally get to this game now that pressing matters are over and done with.

 

[Summer Rose]

4-1 USA! Poor Germany.

 

[Sweetnut]

Gaudreau makes it 3-0 on the PP.

The name Gaudreau always makes my blood freeze...but it's not Freddy this time, lol

 

[Summer Rose]

Bit of a sleepy game now. Sleepy thread to go with it.
