US back on the power play. Geez special teams are important in international play.

Another successful kill for Slovakia. We gotta pick it up here or this is gonna be a nailbiter.

We've allowed this to be much closer than it should be.

6-3 final. Overall a pretty good game for the US, but for part of the second we played pretty bad. The power play looked good, so hopefully we can keep that up moving forward. Tomorrow should be a snoozer against Germany.

I was really impressed with Jack Eichel. He's a solid player and it's hard to believe he's just barely 17. Good to see some great young talent on the roster.

Fucking right boys!

Overall a pretty good game, but there were definitely periods of sloppy play (especially in the 2nd) they need to cut out as they move along.

Good win for the US
