2-1 U.S after one. Excellent period. I thought Canada carried the play and had the better chances, but Kessel is the difference. He's head and shoulders above anybody else on the ice.
- I agree we carried the play all period - but the US seems to have a consistency between all lines that we lack - more of a system maybe.
- Our forecheck is not dominating as it should be - but they don't seem to even have one - which is weird
- Our pp seems anaemic: not so much the D, so much as the cycle. It's telling that the US D is far bigger and stronger down low than our previous competition.
- We're only one goal out, and Frazee is a mystery - we could get a fluke and be back in this.
- Also, we need shorter shifts - especially if we're trying to match Kessel, who just dominates.
Let's Go!
