Fox with a nice spin move at the Latvia blue line to evade a checker to dish the puck to a teammate for a scoring chance.

Fox is showing great puck moving ability and good offensive awareness. Looks fast as well. Haven't seen his defensive game yet.

First impression - Fox looks smooth.

Parsons may not have to make a save this game at the rate its going.

Has fox not played much? I turned the game on about 10 minutes in, and I don't know if I've heard his name or seen his number.
Is he RD?

Americans are clearly the better team but they need to play with better controlled emotions as they've been caught a few times with ill advised pinches, pushing the envelope to score.

Parsons saw no action so hard to comment on his play. Fox looked good for the first half but didn't do much in the last half. He didn't get on the ice for the American's second PP opportunity.

Yup he's playing RD. Fox saw more shifts in the first half of that period and was also on the #1 PP unit on their first chance but the coach did not put him out there at all for the second chance.

Parsons shaken up as a Latvian player gets hooked into him on another breakaway (third this game by my count). Looks okay now. US defense needs to tighten up.

Fox generated two very good offensive chances for the Americans with some slick passes but the US couldn't finish.

This US team doesn't seem to have a lot of skill.

official from the WJC homepage: Kylington led all Swedish skaters in TOI (20:35) and shifts (32). Was close though. The defenders:

20:35 Kylington
20:30 Bernhardt
18:38 G. Carlsson
17:55 L. Carlsson
17:24 Larsson
14:22 Gunnarsson

Clayton Keller is good at hockey.

I enjoy how the Canucks could have had him too, but passed.
