Kessel had an awesome toe drag and rang it off the post. Pretty even game so far, Hiller is keeping the Swiss in it.

It will be interesting to see once we get later in the 2nd, and into the 3rd, how tired the Swiss legs are. I gotta imagine the talent disparity will start to shine there, especially after yesterday's OT game for them.

As far as control and shots go, yeah, USA is dominating. But the chances for the US aren't great and the Swiss are doing enough on D to keep them from getting anything too good.

No goal ... it JUST missed. Literally, another two tenths and it would've been a goal. DAMN DAMN DAMN IT.

What a game if you love Switzerland and alpine horns. Do you love alpine horns? I fuckin hate alpine horns.

That last comment was tongue-in-cheek. It has been a decent game from an overall hockey perspective, but as a US fan I'm ticked.

JUST skipped by Hiller. A little bit of a lucky bounce, but I'll take it.

WHAT A BULLSHIT PENALTY. THAT SHOULD BE A GOAL.
