This is what happens when you Rest number 1 goaltender. Anyway, There always also a good thing within bad things, This slap arrived at the best time and seriously, this was the best moment to pick a "dumb match". Bad thing this will probably means   in the quarterfinals, our cryptonite, so yeah, there always more bad things within bad things at the end.... at leats our goalie is rested and will be fresh on the quarters Tuesday

 

 

🇺🇸 @usahockey with a convincing win and sit at the 🔝 of group B. #WorldJuniors #USASVK

From a morale perspective losing 10-2 is pretty soul crushing, especially for a junior team. The coaching staff better be ready to deal with that.

True, but I honnestly don´t see it as such big problem in this particular case, Blowouts happens, in the Juniors all the time, It is not their first blowout, such... I call them "dumb matches" happens time to time.

 

Especially because up to 38th minute it was one fantastic hockey match from both sides, we were even outshooting and outplaying USA in the 2nd period like no one did in this tourney... but then came the 4th and 5th goals within 30 seconds at the end of the 2nd and a horrible game from both reserve goalies in this game (Seriously one of the worst goaltending match I remember, it was like every USA´s shot ended in the net ) and that was the end... from third periode´s 6th goal we benched both our top lines and the bottom lines played their Ice times in the last 20 minutes, so not really surprising a quite entertaining equal game until then ended by a complete blowout.

 

No worried about the moral problem I assure you, our guys will forget this game by tomorrow.

 

The main problem is we just do not know to play them. From all eventual opponents in the quarters we will have to face exactly the one we just do not know to beat at any level at any category... our seniors did not beat Finland since 2003.. the longest current winless streak of our hockey teams..
