GDT: WC: USA (1) vs Canada (5)

[jj cale]

Ah everyone's battling hard that can't be a penalty I wouldn't wanna see that called either ways.

That is always a penalty at this thing.

 

[SprDaVE]

Team USA is playing pretty well early on. Their speed is a big factor. Would be tied at worst right now if Kinkaid wasn't a sieve

You think so? They haven't left their zone for the last like... 10 minutes it feels like.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Stone jerks his head back while being hit on his hip and the ref blows the whistle.

 

[joshyhockey26]

Just end this period

 

[Zero Pucks Given]

Maroon you ****er...thanks a lot.

 

[SabresBillsBuffalo]

Canadians dominated the Americans 5-on-5 in the first period.

I think that's what was expected we just gotta take an opportunist approach

 

[SabresBillsBuffalo]

That is always a penalty at this thing.

He prob forgot I don't recall him playing at one of these in some time

 

[jj cale]

O.K period.

Team needs to be careful of the U.S speed in transition though.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Ah everyone's battling hard that can't be a penalty I wouldn't wanna see that called either ways.

It's true though, that penalty gets called a lot at this tourney.

 

[snipes]

Not bad period, not great either.

 

[tade]

What's the max attendance in this building?

 

[jj cale]

He prob forgot I don't recall him playing at one of these in some time

Yeah, this is a first for him.

He'll learn quick, the refs here give you a real crash course real early.

 

[JTD]

You think so? They haven't left their zone for the last like... 10 minutes it feels like.

At the time 5 on 5 it was pretty close. Then Canada started taking things over and controlling things. Last 5-6 minutes of the period Canada was all over them. Was a good start for the US but not a good finish

 

[habsrule4eva3089]

How quick is Canada moving the puck? Have they been able to get McDavid the puck in open ice yet?

And who's playing half wall on the pp?

Not really, he's been a little quiet so far, but I expect the next two periods he'll get more time with the puck.

all the special teams seems to have limited his even strength time

St. P Ice Palace holds 12300, I think.

 

[HockeyGuruPitka]

Pretty dominant period for Canada

 

[NyQuil]

Hard to judge a lot based on a handful of shifts for all of the lines out there.

 

[1Gold Standard]

St. P Ice Palace holds 12300, I think.

they are not at the Ice Palace, they are playing this game at Yubileiny 6 thousand seat venue.
All St. Petersburg games will be at Yubileniy Arena.

The Ice Palace in Moscow has a capacity of 12,000.

 

[clunk]

Needs more Ben Hutton ice time. Very shifty player at the point. Play him Peters! You probably don't even know who he is but I don't care.

Did not know that. Thanks!

 

[jj cale]

God, phone just rang and i thought it was work calling but false alarm.

Dodged the first bullet,whew!!

Yeah... it is 7 300. Damn, that is small capacity, hmm.

 

[aphyro]

7 300 small?!

 

[1Gold Standard]

Yeah... it is 7 300. Damn, that is small capacity, hmm.

It was a good excuse to spend 60 million refurbishing this arena as opposed to just playing tournament games where SKA plays their KHL games.
