Beijing, Feb. 12 (BUS): The United States has accepted all the questions about youth and inexperience and has all the answers against Canada.
Andy Milley responded to Canada’s early goal with a equalizer after 70 seconds, Brendan Bryson scored his second goal at the Olympics and the Americans beat their biggest rival 4-2 on Saturday to put them in the driver’s seat to claim a place in the men’s hockey quarter-finals. tournament, the Associated Press (AP) reported.
Sean Farrell also set up Ben Myers to give him three assists and six points and goalkeeper Strauss-Mann made 35 saves to help the USA lead 2-0 in the preliminary round. A victory over Germany on Sunday would put the United States first in the group and could make them the top seed in the knockout stage.
The potential to boom or collapse of the tournament’s youngest team was shown to Canada, a bigger, stronger and more experienced opponent. With Claude Julien back behind the bench two weeks after he broke his ribs in a skiing accident, the Canadians envisioned using their size and physique to tire out smaller Americans over the course of 60 minutes.
Instead, the United States – with 12 college players on the ice – was battered by Canada and used a combination of offensive skill and poor goal handling to control the match.

BEIJING (Associated Press) – The United States has accepted all questions about youth and inexperience and has all the answers against Canada.
Andy Milley responded to Canada’s early goal with a equalizer after 70 seconds, Brendan Bryson scored his second goal at the Olympics and the Americans beat their biggest rival 4-2 on Saturday to put them in the driver’s seat to claim a place in the men’s hockey quarter-finals. Competition.
Sean Farrell also set up Ben Myers to give him three assists and six points and goalkeeper Strauss-Mann made 35 saves to help the USA lead 2-0 in the preliminary round. A win over Germany on Sunday would put the United States first in the group and could make them the top seed in the knockout round.
The potential to boom or collapse of the tournament’s youngest team was shown to Canada, a bigger, stronger and more experienced opponent. With Claude Julien back behind the bench two weeks after he broke his ribs in a skiing accident, the Canadians envisioned using their size and physique to tire out smaller Americans over the course of 60 minutes.
Instead, the United States – with 12 college players on the ice – was battered by Canada and used a combination of offensive skill and poor goal handling to control the match.
Mann had his own dose of a poor net kick on Matt Robinson’s goal for Canada 1:24 inches, shot off the boards 40 feet away and shook it clean. Mann settled in and only allowed Corban Knight’s short goal the rest of the way and was at his best during a late penalty that included 31 seconds from 5-on-3.
Canada were barely able to contemplate playing the lead when Millet scored in a 2-1 dash in 2:34. Mann settled in and kept the score tied while Canada had 11 of their first 14 shots in the match.
The US took the lead halfway through the first and moved forward with 1:14 remaining in the period in which Pharrell Myers made his second goal of the tournament. Farrell, the Montreal Canadiens player who plays for Harvard, has six points with three goals and three assists.
In the midst of a prolonged drought in Canada, Pasquale gave the United States a gift early in the second half by hitting the ball behind the net, and Bryson fired the ball into a wide open net. Knight cut the gap with the United States to 3-2 before the second break, but Canadian defender Maxim Noru’s turn helped Kenny Agostinho to score another easy goal at Pascual just before 13:47 left.
Pascual allowed four goals in 27 shots.
The United States certainly settled into the Olympics after the opening with an 8-0 victory over hosts China. That includes even North Dakota defender Jake Sanderson, who didn’t seem to miss a step in his first game after arriving late on Wednesday. Sanderson was stuck in Los Angeles after he tested positive for the coronavirus.
The United States and Canada faced off at the Olympics for the first time since the semifinals at the 2014 Sochi Games, the last time NHL players participated. Canada won that match 1-0 on their way to their second straight gold medal.
