I love skaters like Kreider and McDonagh...so fast, so smooth, so powerful. I think it's the power that I love...guys who dont' look like their legs are going a mile per second and getting nowhere, just strong strides that generate a ton of speed.
e: ohhhhh **** Stepan just missed a gimme goal, kinda came to him at an awkard angle, don't think he was expecting the pass. That line is great

The U.S. looks better than I thought they would. I forgot just how bad the Austrians are. This is a team that will be fighting the relegation battles - not the USA.

Don't need to be a great goal scorer to put it in an empty net.
Another nice scoring chance created by Kreider coming from behind the net too.

How the heck did Stepan not put that in?
I don't think he realized he had that much time or the angle he was on. It's a good sign with how him and Wheeler are connecting.

I think the car in the corner distracted him -
United States 2-0 after 1.
LS...
21 goals, he's not bad. Not a good angle for him to shoot and he just rushed it. If he was a lefty there's no way he could have missed

I really love the chemistry between Wheeler and Stepan. Both seem to be just flying out there. I could see the duo putting up at least two more goals in this game. Stepan will bury one at one point. Perhaps he get a goal and 2 assists, Wheeler gets 2 goals and an assist.

Totally, with a decent goalie Austria would be a strong candidate for the gold medal.

Pretty good 1st period for the USA. Sloppy first 11 minutes or so but once they got on the PK they kind of took over and the passes that were off the mark in the opening half of the period started connecting. With our scoring woes last year, I'm pretty happy with a 2-0 lead with some other prime chances as well.
The chemistry between Stepan and Wheeler is great to see so far. The Kreider line has been great as well.

That's exactly what went through my mind. The US team is dominating possession and chances. It's been pretty to watch.
Kreider had a really good period. He was really dangerous out there.
Yeah you could just tell he was setup with the forehand for some reason and it just didn't click for him to do anything but try to one time it from a really bad angle
Team looks good. They haven't had to do a lot of defending so I'd worry about how they'll deal with good teams that can put on offensive pressure. Also, better defensive teams will make it tough on their offense, but so far they're doing what they need to in order to beat a team like Austria

Stepan with 2 assists already.
I expect nothing less then him leading the tournament in scoring and making the All-Star Team.
