So many freaking faceoffs

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Ha. Ha. Behrens gets hit on the boards. Comes back & shoves over the Czech player on a solid hit.

Czechs then hit crossbar.

And another faceoff.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Gallagher decks a Czech along the boards.

Duke gets a huge chance in the slot. Save.

Ooops, Duke trips Czech goalie. Gets immediately crosschecked.

No penalties

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Lots of discussion about where faceoff should be. Finally drop it.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Scrum in front of Czech bench. Murchison gets a crosschecking penalty.

PP Czechs.

Oh and Mbereko is back in net.

The 3rd string goalie for US had to get dressed. Mbereko waves at him. Lol

 

[MarkovsKnee]

PP killed.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Damn, Behrens made a fantastic one on one defensive play with 29 seconds left. Guy tried to get inside of him, he wouldn't allow it. Used his skating to get body position.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Oh man, Jiricek gets a penalty with 11 seconds left.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Stupid stupid penalty.

Pastujov was at the point, takes a slapshot with traffic in front of net, lots of pushing for position in a scrum, refs allowed 2 crosschecks 3rd one gets the penalty.

OT.

It's 4 on 3 PP for US.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Svozil almost just ended it for Czechs. 2 chances in slot.

Then Duke gets one.

No one scores.
