Didnt Slovakia lose 6-0 yesterday?
There are obviously better then Denmark but they still aren't a very good team. The US should handle them easily.To Canada. And the US beat Denmark 9-0 a few days ago. The Fins just outshot Denmark 61-7 and the US was up on them 5-0 after one period when they played.
Do you think Slovakia is as bad as Denmark? They're playing the US close and finished the first period 0-0 instead of down 5.

I can't say that I'm upset about that.I never said they were great, just that they were better than Denmark and they would probably play a closer game.
And look at that, they're up 1-0 on the US
In my view, USA forward Casey Mittelstadt already has two solid candidates for goal of the tournament.That should end up as the goal of the tournament. Crazy finish to that game.
Slovakia wins 3-2
whoops
I was worried the US wouldn't be ready. They took apart Denmark so easily they were likely expecting a similar game from Slovakia. But Denmark was obviously completely incompetent in their first two games and Slovakia had much better structure and puck pursuit/awareness in their first game. Welp, here you go. Wake up and don't sleep on the next "easy win", boys.
