1st period was more russians but USA defense held on and played tough.
Need to get the offense going.

The two teams are playing different styles. The US is dumping it in and trying to cycle it, but the Russians are being more aggressive with their defense and actively pursuing the puck rather than remaining fully compact. We haven't adjusted our offense to deal with that, yet. On the other side, the Russians are playing a counter game, and are taking advantage of the US staying more compact in their defensive zone.
Advantage Red Menace, but only marginally. Neither side is really getting what I'd call "good" chances. Plenty of chances, but most of them have been routine for the goalies.

I liked our forecheck better in the 2nd, but Russia is still carrying the advantage. They look a bit sharper and their transition is better, as is their defense against our transition.

Wow, what a save by Quick coming across the goal for the one timer towards the end of that PP.

USA vs. Russia.
GREAT game but I didn't like international shootout rules (one shooter player). NHL is better shootout rules IMO (team vs. one individual).
Dumb question..... international rinks are slightly larger than NHL? Kinda like Canadian and United States football fields.

I seen a tweet from one of Quicks L.A. teammates(he's Russian by the way) that said he expected this kind of thing from Quick.
Cry me a f'ing' river. Stupid Russians.
