Leon Draisaitl - Germany's captain and best player - gets 5 + GM for hitting @Copp94 from behind just :10 into the 2nd period 2-0 USA
Copp was down for a minute and it looked bad, but he's back on the bench and even smiled a bit with his teammates.
USA gets a 5-on-3 as Sven Ziegler takes two for hooking & @WillButcher4 makes it count with a shot from the top of the circle. 3-0
4-0 USA @Hinostroza12 from the faceoff dot....USA still on the PP for another 1:42 - 16 left in the 2nd
Every year I worry about USA's special teams because it's not a strength in Lake Placid or pre-tourny games, but they always get it together
5-0 USA @rileybarber94 with a sick snipe from the top of the circle.....Team USA's 9th PPG which leads the tournament.
2 min 5-on-3 for USA, Klopper goes for slashing & Kammerer goes for high sticking...Grzelcyk makes it 6-0 with a nasty shot from the circle.
We are trying to figure out the @IIHFHockey rules on PP% but for now....let's just say Team USA's is really, really good.
7-0 USA defensive specialist Steve Santini deflects one in on the PP and the d-corp on the bench is absolutely pumped for him
8-0 USA @Hinostroza12 with his second of the game 6:14 left in regulation.
USA defeats Germany 8-0 including 6 PPGs #2014WJC Player of the Game for USA @Hfasching22
