I've never figured out using "Born in the USA" as the goal song.
Yeah! We scored! Here's a song about what's wrong with America! Of course, it could just be the Euros trolling us for years.

With that win we have secured advancement into the knock-out round.
We want to avoid finishing 2nd or 4th so we can put off Canada until the finals.

Got to give credit to the whole team for having a solid tournament even though they didn't even come with a B level squad.

They could be a lot easier if USA played better D and their compete level around the net was more tenacious. There's still far too much solo stick handling into traffic without puck support resulting in turnovers, and although clean up around the paint was better against Slovenia (Brock Nelson gets it), every line needs to improve in that area if they are going to survive the quarterfinals. As the competition ramps up, dirty goals, a tip, deflection, rebound opportunity may be the difference between a W and L. With only one bronze medal for USA in the last 10 years (2013), this team has the talent and speed to snag some hardware IF they battle hard as a team and in front of Hellebuyck, who has been sensational.

That is a real shocker! Before helmets, before the slapshot and butterfly, and before the emergence of the great Soviet teams in the '60's and '70's...e-gads, that was a long time ago.
From the linked article: "The last time a U.S. team reached the final of a World Championships was in 1950."

Russia needed OT to beat Slovakia, so they're now a point behind. Finland has a game in hand and could tie us; they're currently scoreless vs. Belarus.

After 40:00: FIN 0 - 0 BLR
Apologies to those hoping to see this in game reset format.

Belarus got the EAG after blowing a 1-0 lead on not being able to count and a pretty quick goal after that, and we are headed to overtime. USA will be in the lead in group standings after this one.

Belarus takes Finland to shootout. Should make all of us feel a little better about their blowout win.
No truly easy teams in this tournament anymore. Of course, the supposed top teams not being able to have their top rosters might have something to do with that.
