Not a great day for the German goalie it looks like.

 

[Teus]

Not a great day for the German goalie it looks like.

Hannibal Weitzmann, 7 saves on 12 shots
Kevin Reich, 13 saves on 17 shots

Jonas Johansson, 25 saves on 26 shots

 

[Maverick41]

Not a great day for the German goalie it looks like.

You can change that to goalies.
They pulled their starter Weitzmann after giving up 5 goals on 12 shots. Reich did a little bit better, but still gave up 4 goals on 17 shots.

My bad, I had earlier info that he will play, but seems RUS NT decided a few minutes before game that he wont play. Sorry.

 

[habsrule4eva3089]

Breathtaking game, wow, between US and Russia.

 

[kp61c]

Breathtaking game, wow, between US and Russia.

frankly speaking usa's looking a lot better, the team of grenadiers

 

[habsrule4eva3089]

frankly speaking usa's looking a lot better, the team of grenadiers

Powerplay's made them look such, but 5 on 5 both teams are skating well, but US does have the edge as you say. Russia's D are making horrible reads at the bluelines that are giving the States plenty of odd man rushes, but Russia in transition like usual should give them many opportunities as the game progresses. But nonethless great game and great atmosphere, can't even fathom to think how incredible the games and atmosphere will be on this Ice in 10 months!

Turned on a stream long enough to see Buchnevich's PP goal.

Anyone care to describe his game, or compare him to an NHLer.

he's your Wane Gretzky: without skates or with a broken stick

 

[cska78]

Ivanov!!! up 3:2

 

[Woodhouse]

GOAL! RUS 3 - USA 2 .. Ivanov, in alone, wrists one from low slot, beating Demko high stick; primary assist to Buchnevich .. USA almost responded quickly though, as Fasching put one off Shestyorkin and the crossbar .. 11:21 remain.

 

[boris4c]

The USA just scored shorthanded, terrible play from the Russian defender.

 

[cska78]

nice goal USA

 

[Jussi]

USA ties the game at 3-3 while playing shorthanded.

 

[cska78]

The USA just scored shorthanded, terrible play from the Russian defender.

it was a forward.

 

[Woodhouse]

USA GOAL! RUS 3 - USA 3 .. on a SH 2-on-1, Motte heads the puck to Compher, who's allowed to skate-in and wrist one from the right slot past Shestyorkin, beating him high stick; lone assist to Motte .. 4:52 remains.
