USA Moves To 8-0 After 4-1 Win Over World

 

WASHINGTON D.C. - Thor Odinson scored a pair of goals in the second period and Johnny Elgar stopped 26 of the 27 shots he faced as the United States of America improved to a staggering 8-0 at the World Junior Hockey Championship with a 4-1 victory over Team World. Keita Kourou put World on the board first at the 12:10 mark of the first period, with Ronald Johnson MacWallace III and Reginald the Dodo assisting on the goal. However, things quickly went south for Team World when they committed two penalties within two minutes of the goal, with Team USA converting both power play opportunities on man advantage goals by Reese McFleury and Mark Calaway, giving USA a lead they would not relinquish.

 

Odinson's pair of insurance goals in the second period earned him the first star of the game, while Elgar's dominance in net for the Americans got him second star honors. Defenseman Reese McFleury, whose power play goal in the first period tied the game, also had an assist in the second period, giving him the third star of the game. Olivier Gauthier was admirable in net for Team World with 40 saves, but the Americans' control of the puck and high advantage in offensive chances doomed any chances he may have had to steal the game for World.

Blake Shuts the Door On Canada

 

OTTAWA - Fans were treated to a tremendous goaltending duel betwen Jeffrey Blake and Ross Glagau in Canada's game against Team Europe, with a total of three goals combined scored during the game. However, Canada's defense simply could not slow down the relentless pressure of Team Europe, who controlled the play for much of the game. The insurmountable pressure proved to be too much for Glasgau, with Nils Andersson blasting a feed from Tyler Swift past him at the 10:43 mark of the second period, providing Europe with their second straight win against the Canadians.

 

The second star of the game, Jasper Davis, opened the scoring for Team Europe early in the first period, although the Canadians tied the game on the power play at the 8:30 mark of the second period on ShaunYoungca's first goal of the tournament. However, first star Jeffrey Blake shut the door the rest of the way, as Team Europe protected their lead by peppering third star Ross Glagau with shot after shot, keeping Canada's offense out of rhythm and unable to mount a comeback bid in the third period, mustering just six shots on net during the final twenty minutes of the game.
