Some thoughts:

Montoya is really really shaky, not a good sign.
Kessel is a stud, this kid deserves the hype....needs to get stronger though, but he's young.
Malkin has been invisible.
Ovechkin is good.
Suter is good.

The O'Sullivan line get's some props.

The US forwards are controlling the play, definatly. Montoya is bad, yeah, but the D has been less than average.

Besides the turnover for the breakaway, they've been good. Outlet passes have been spot on, they've taken the body.....they're not to blame. Montoya has dropped the ball so far, lets see if he can atone for his mistakes in the next periods, he's capable of it.

Dont think I've heard Voloshenko or Radulov's name once. Also, pretty bad play with the puck by Goligoski leading to the Shirokov PS goal(another hilarious celebration btw). On the flip side, Kessel and Bourque have looked pretty good, and outside of his goal(which was a beauty), Ovechkin hasnt done a whole lot yet.

wow 3-3 in the 1st ... maybe my 7-6 prediction was right hehe

 

[RDriesen]

anyone else think fritsche got an assist on that second goal? i could have sworn he was a part of it, but box score isnt listing him

Picked up an assist within the first 10 min of the game.. i'll take it.

Sorry for the crazy-long linkage, I'm having some PC trouble tonight.

He's still been invisible....The most he's been a part of the play was when he was trying to take the penalty shot.

period 2.

 

[Marshall]

It looks like Bourque lost an assist on the first goal.

or when he was forechecking on the PK vs Goligoski

PP USA, Bourque gets taken down in front of the net

 

[William H Bonney]

Team USA first line is awesome....Bourque is impressive.

 

[john g]

and like a good center, came back (malkin) and just broke up a rush

 

[wilka91*]

I don't get it ... since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Canada and the US have been always scoring first against the Russians. ALWAYS! What the hell is wrong with them? Damn it!

The kid knows how to pass.
