I give up tempering my expectations for Gaudreau and hereby christen him as the next Datsyuk.

Gaudreau draws another penalty. US can't capitalize. 3-2 12 minutes left in the 3rd.

Appears he was trying to stick handle it while down and lost it, and luckily went to his team mate. Still a nice play though.

Not to my eye.
He is trying to handle it to start, realizes he can't and makes decision to dish it to open ice at point... whether that is to a man he knows is open and stepping up, no way to know, but to me he clearly looks and passes it back at the end.

You can see him look up and see the Open ice. He goes down and has to make the play somehow.

I have to say, the USA has been fun to watch in this tournament.

I mean, outside of Johnny, they've been terrible. Just awful. Complete pond-hockey.

Its entertaining.

Johnny bounces it off the goalies mask from behind the red line. Didn't miss by much.

Bs. That's a pass as much as the Bobby Orr clip that ran at the beginning of every coach's corner segment.

I have to disagree. He clearly reaches for it to corral it on the forehand but misses. Doesn't take away from his awesomeness.

This is what happens when you have Laviolette as coach and Tim Thomas in net.

Struggling to win games against Latvia and Kazakhstan

I remember when people wanted the Flames to fire Hartley and hire Laviolette earlier this season. Lol.

My God, not putting Gaudreau on the top line should be all it takes to get Laviolette out of there. This US team is a joke outside of Trouba, Jones and Gaudreau.

I don't know the exact TOI stats but Gaudreau seems to be out there as much as anyone else

I'd wager Tyler Johnson's line is out there at least as much at even strength, and definitely get first PP minutes.
