US suffers a bit of a let down after their convincing win yesterday but squeaks out a victory.

US 2 - 1

 

[VanIslander]

4-0 USA

A couple of goals early will decide it.

Park and Parrish aren't on the roster for today. Both little kids are though.

I was hoping they would get Suter in there for a game.

Yeah, this is the game I had circled as the one to see him in. Team USA needs to ease him in. Let him play some good minutes in a second/third pairing role. If he looks real good, try to ease him into later games. If he struggles, just let him watch. The experience will still be good for him.

Andy Roach plays in attack ....... huh ... anyway whats with Park and Parrish ???

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Yikes! What a boring game. Ukraine is clearly playing not to lose, with five men back the whole time.

 

[ALF AmericanLionsFan]

No score yet?

Hopefully this wakes up Team USA. Are we in the second period yet?

Under 3 mins left in 2nd

Wow. US look sluggish to those who are watching?

 

[mikkoz]

Speedy last minutes of the 2nd from US.

 

[ALF AmericanLionsFan]

Man I'll be seriously upset if they blow this to the Ukraine.

 

[reaper]

Yes. I can understand that. But people are seriously underestimating Ukraine. Sweden could also barely beat them. They play real tight defensive and have some nice moves offensiviely as well. They wouldn't have a chance if refs blew whistle on all penaltysituations though. But with the current refs they are damn difficult to beat.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Wow. US look sluggish to those who are watching?

I wouldn't say sluggish. Ukraine is playing a sound defensive game, and was able to capitalize on one of it's few chances. Pretty much the same recipe for success the U.S. used against Sweden yesterday.

 

[Riddarn]

And just like Sweden was yesterday, USA is playing back-to-back games.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

And just like Sweden was yesterday, USA is playing back-to-back games.

Yeah, I don't know how significant of a factor that is, but it is a factor. We'll see if the U.S. can get something going in the 3rd.
