2015 IIHF World Junior Championship

2-0 Russia (just as the PP expired) - Come on USA!

 

[sabresfaninthesouth]

Russians on their 4th PP of the 1st period - You gotta think it's going to even out somewhat at some point.

The refs might go looking for a makeup call, but I didn't think any of the calls were bad.

Edit: the goalie interference just now was iffy.

 

[dash]

Larkin goale interference makes it five penalties for the States in this opening period.

 

[Center Ice]

Not a stellar 1st period for the USA. C'mon boys, I want to see another barnburner Canada/USA game.

Captain Obvious says the next goal will be huge.

 

[puckhead]

7 penalties to the US before Russia finally gets one.

/just sayin' is all.

DeAngelo!! 2-1

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

In the 10 minutes of game time i've been watching this, the US has been playing like utter shit. Yikes.

 

[dash]

3-1 Russia - Yikes.

 

[awaz]

the box score hero in me says the ref really likes to be involved in the game...

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

2 man adv for 'Merica. Now or never.

Best chance on that 5-on-3 came for the shorthanded Russians. This is pugly.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Merica back in it. Only ugly now.

 

[dash]

3-2 with 11 minutes left. GO USA GO!

 

[dash]

Well poop. A little bit of a fracas at the end of the game, but cooler heads prevailed.

 

[puckhead]

world war 3 at the end - let 'em go.


/eichel tried to do too much on his own a few times

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

This was not a good tournament for Jack Eichel. Wonder if this gives scouts pause come draft time.

 

[Judge Fudge]

This was not a good tournament for Jack Eichel and McJesus. Wonder if this gives scouts pause come draft time.

fixed it for ya

Barring an upset for the ages, McDavid will have a few more games to prove his mettle. Also, less to do with he's played bad than a line he isn't on has been straight fire. He's still putting pucks on net and has a point-per-game.
