2015 World Junior Championships

Demko with a big save there to keep us scoreless.

Factor of being a big guy there as his pad was in the right place at the right time.

d kind of got kind of caught flat footed.

I'll take it as a win if we're tied after 1 considering how flat we look after playing at 8 last night.

Not a whole lot out of the power play.

Didn't look aggressive at all.

Decent chance for US in final seconds with Larkin wrapping behind net but he couldn't get much on a centering pass to Fasching and the Slovaks did a good job of clogging things up in the crease once Larkin got behind the net.

you can tell US played yesterday. Taking a bit to get their legs under them this game but hopefully things will improve. I'll take being tied after one.

Is it "taking a bit to get their legs under them" or "taking Slovakia a bit too lightly"? To me it looks like the U.S. is not playing with near the intensity they did in their first two games.

I don't know if they are taking them lightly....they did just beat Finland...

More along the lines that they just played Germany less than 24 hours ago, and have to turn around and play another game. Perhaps endurance is slightly questionable? I was hoping during the 3rd period power plays yesterday that they'd just pass the perimeter and try to save energy for this game.

Got away with no call for a penalty shot on that break.

Matthews certainly has the makings to be a Rick Nash type player in the future. Boy when he gets a head of steam going it's real tough to ride him off the puck.
