Minnesota Bias? But...
Despite the fact the opening game looked like an all-star game during the first period, I thought Goligoski played well for the USA in their new jerseys.
I was surprised to see Golly man the point on the power play, but that's what he does for the Gophers and he's quite good at it. He is a pass first player on the power play, and has great hands. With the group of players surrounding him on the ice, seemed like the right place for him out there. I thought he played the rushes pretty well and was able to make good decisions on the breakout.
As two side notes I though O'Sully looked fantastic and I look forward to seeing Lee play on Monday, as I'd imagine he'll see some time against the Swiss and then again against Belarus.
