Canada starts w/ :55 on PP...
19:00(ish) After 2 early clears, Taylor Hall tries to take over on the PP, missing the net twice. Then Stepan (fresh out of the penalty box) springs Danny Kristo (Montreal) on a break as the penalty expires and he scores. 4-2 USA...
Only 5 1st rd picks on US roster, compared to 10 for Canada...
US still getting chances and putting a heap of pressure on Canada G Allen. He has to stop the bleeding to give Canada a chance to come back...
16:10 2 mishaps by Cam Fowler. tried to clear puck and failed twice, luckily, Canada was off sides on the 2nd...
14:20 BIG chance for the US, turned away by Allen. Kristo was invloved again...
13:16 To give you an idea of how fast the US is playing in this game, Luke Walker (undrafted) gave Canada's Ryan Ellis about a 10ft lead at center ice, yet beat him to the puck behind the Canadian goal line.
13:00 nice break for Canada as Della Rovere (there's that name again) shoots and the rebound just out of Taylor Hall's reach...
12:12 The US just controled the puck for 40 secs in Canadas zone again, Kristo with the shot that Allen saves...
11:49 Chris Kreider is gonna be a difference maker for the Rangers. this kid plays fast and has great anticipation.
Kyle Palmieri (Ducks) took a hit near the bench and just went to the US dressing room
10:00 Jordan Eberle of Canada deflects in a point shot to get Canada back in it 4-3, and the crowd in Saskatoon is going nuts. Big shift in momentum, can the US withstand the Canadian pressure?...
8:50 Seems like Canada flipped a switch. Much more intensity in their play. Just drew another penalty on the US. Seems like since Palmieri took that hit, Canada's a different team. Plays been in the US end since...
8:00 Canada PP, USA G Campbell made about 3 huge saves... Zucker makes a nice dicving clear from the point, Canada regroups and Campbell makes another nice save... Lot of blocked shots for US, including one that stung Schroeder. Penalty killed...
5:04 Jordan Eberle called for highsticking, USA PP...
Alex Pietrangelo of Canada steals it at centerice and roofed it past Campbell SH. 4-4. An NHL play by a player who has played in the NHL for the Blues... Allen makes a nice save as the penaly ends...
The US has given up a 2 goal lead in the 3rd. Gonna be hard to get over this momentum shift...
Brayden Schenn just vailed out the US by falling on a diving US goaltender. Campbell dove out to clear a rebound and the puck went right to a Canadian defenseman who buried it, but the goal was waived off.
The US hasn't beaten Canada since the gold medal game in 2004 (Thank you NHL network graphic!). They're letting this one slip away...
0:59 Campbell stones Hall...
OVERTIME.....
Wow, the wheels just seemed to fall off for the US over the last 10 minutes of the game. Some of the names who have been very noticeable for the Canadians on this comeback... Colten Teubert for throwing some big hits, Jordan Eberle seems to have a puck magnet on his stick. And overall, the Canadian defenseman seem to be more confident and fast...
