Friday 15.08.2014, 17:30 • Hlinka Gretzky Cup
    Scott Wheeler: Now 11-5 team Canada in one of the more bizarre hockey games you'll ever see.
     
    59:17
    Goal for Team Canada!
    That was almost an uncontested goal as Canada came in 3 on 1, passed it around at will and TYLER SOY deposited it in the net.
    Assists: Jeremy Roy, Nick Merkley.
     
    56:09
    Goal for Team USA!
    THOMAS NOVAK with his 2nd goal and 3rd point of the game as he snaps a shot upstairs from the faceoff dot. That's 10 points in the tournament for him. Power-play goal.
    Assists: Grant Gabriele, Brock Boeser.
     
    55:10
    The US now with a chance on the power play as Guillaume Brisebois takes a tripping penalty.
     
    53:00
    Moore in front to Swaney as the Americans get a big shorthanded chance.
     
    51:47
    Karch Bachmann is called for holding, so the Canadians go to the power play, not that they really need it at this point.
     
    51:24
    Goal for Team USA!
    The Americans get that one right back, as Swaney centres from behind the net and KARCH BACHMAN one-times it in.
    Assist: Nicholas Swaney.
     
    50:53
    Goal for Team Canada!
    MITCHELL STEPHENS scores the 10th goal with a very stoppable-looking wrister to the glove side of Jurusik. Everyone knows this one is over.
     
    50:01
    3-on-2 US rush, Jackson across to Wilkie for the one-timer and Zach Sawchenko slides across to make a big save. You can just see the frustration on the faces of the American players.
     
    45:53
    Big hit by Mathew Spencer on Erik Foley right in front of the US bench and he has some trouble getting up. The physical aspect of this game seemed to go away as it became a one-sided track meet, but maybe this will re-ignite it.
     
    42:04
    Goal for Team Canada!
    When it rains, it pours. Canada's 4th line gets into the act, with ADAM MUSIL putting in a rebound.
    Assist: Connor Hobbs, Mitchell Stephens.
     
    41:42
    Wilkie with the low wrister at one end, kicked out by Sawchenko and Jansen Harkins sprung on a breakaway the other way. Save Jurusnik. What a wide-open game.
     
    39:25
    Goal for Team Canada!
    After the missed US, chance Canada is back quick on the counter and LAWSON CROUSE carried it all the way and scores on a low wrister.
    Unassisted.
     
    39:16
    2-on-1 USA but Boeser couldn't corral the pass and doesn't get a shot away.
     
    38:41
    Barzal again on a partial break this time town the right wing, tries a fake to make Jurusik open the five-hole but doesn't work and he covers.
     
    38:16
    Breakaway for Mathew Barzal, tries to go five-hold but Matthew Jurusik closes it, then Musil gets knocked into Jurusik and everybody comes in. No penalties but the faceoff is going outside.
     
    35:20
    Goal for Team Canada!
    Canadian offence really stepping into high gear now. A beautiful three-way passing play finishes with TRAVIS KONECNY one-timing in his 2nd of the game. No chance for Jurusik at all.
    Assists: Jansen Harkins, Mathew Barzal.
     
    33:30
    Canadian 2-on-2, Marner to Strome going for 4 but he one-times it just wide.
     
    32:16
    Goal for Team Canada!
    The goals coming fast and furious here in the second period and it's captain TRAVIS KONECNY that fires a low shot that beats Jurusik.
    Assists: Jansen Harkens, Ethan Bear
     
    31:00
    Goal for Team USA!
    That didn't take long. The pass across to TANNER LACZYNSKI and he one-timed it home before Sawchenko could slide across. Power-play goal.
    Assists: Terry Troy, Dello Tory.
     
    30:46
    Canada is called for offside and then there's some pushing and shoving after the whistle and Jeremy Roy is getting a penalty for roughing. US to the power play and the faceoff moves to the Canadian zone.
    Scott Wheeler: Dylan Strome really coming alive, showing why he's one of 2015's best as he completes the hat-trick. 5-2 Canada.
     
    29:58
    Team USA is now making a goaltending change. Out is Evan Sarthou and in is Matthew Jurusik.
     
    29:58
    Goal for Team Canada!
    DYLAN STROME takes a pass and his one-time blast makes it 5-2 Hat-trick for Strome. Power-play goal.
    Assists: Nicolas Meloche, Connor Hobbs.
     
    29:00
    Now Nick Merkley is in all alone but he fires high.
     
    28:15
    Goal for Team Canada!
    Canada with possession off the attacking zone faceoff and Merkley feeds MATHIEW BARZAL, who beats Sarthou short side. 4-on-4 play continues.
    Assist: Nick Merkley.
     
    28:08
    Soy almost gets free shorthanded but Tory Dello puts a hook on him and gets called. Not quite free enough for a penalty shot. We'll play 4-on-4 for :27.
     
    27:10
    Scramble in front of Sawchenko, Novak tries to jam it in but forced behind the net, Musil back on the ice, Canad 1 man short.
     
    26:35
    Now we have another Canadian penalty and it's Lawson Crouse, so the US will have a 5-on-3 for :25.
     
    25:00
    Now Canada is getting a penalty as Adam Musil goes off for holding, so the Americans coming on early in the 2nd.
     
    24:40
    Goal for Team USA!
    There was a delayed penalty coming to Canada and the puck came to BROCK BOESER right in front, who went upstairs to beat Sawchenko.
    Assists: Dennis Yan, Thomas Novak.
     
    23:49
    A long suicide pass to Jansen Harkins and Spenser Young absolutely levels him with an open-ice hit near the US blueline. Play is stopped and Harkins helped to the bench. No penalty on the play. Faceoff in the Canadian zone.
     
    19:39
    Just after the penalty expired Zach Wilkie pinched in and fired a hard, high wrister but Zach Sawchenko made a big glove save.
     
    17:55
    Goal for Team Canada!
    Shorthanded 2-on-1 for Canada, Stephens feeds JANSEN HARKINS, who buries it.
    Assist: Mitchell Stephens, Guillaume Brisebois.
     
    17:34

    14:33
    Goal for Team Canada!
    What a pretty passing play for this line, which scores its second of the game. Marner with the pass to DYLAN STROME going to the net and he one-touches it inside the post.
    Assists: Mitchell Marner, Graham Knott.
     
    07:12
