BIG SAVE CAIN

the czech continue to apply pressure as the powerplay winds down but they cant seem to find any good scoring opportunities. Gotta give credit where its due, where the USA forwards are failing the defense looks phenominal.

both offenses just seem a little slow after that early goal here. after these misses the USA finally has good possession. they grab the miss and head into the czech zone. They cycle but cant find an opportunity. However their cycling is tiring out the czech defense, and it shows as Bernik Vrzala gets frustrated and hits Bust in the face with his stick. Thats a minor penalty to the Czech player and the US will be going on their first powerplay of the game
