I thought you were ready for this game ??

I thought we may struggle a little in the first game, I wasn't really expecting a 6 goal period

Pretty sure no one in their right mind predicted a 7-1 lead going into the third.

That whole line could be really dangerous if they get any kind of space.

The even strength line is OV-Malkin-Semin

So basically we are the Soviets of the 70s. That's what I'm taking from this one.

Everyone seems to be giving the gold to Canada, Russia or Sweden and I like it.
Less pressure and flying under the radar. USA baby great start to the tourney.
