Early Friday morning stateside, Team U.S.A. earned its first win of the 2018 Winter Olympics over Slovakia, 2-1. Furthermore, Harvard’s Ryan Donato netted both goals. Friday’s win stands alone for the Americans in PyeonChang.
On the other hand, Slovakia looks to bounce back after a narrow, 3-2 loss against Slovenia. Forward Milos Bubela and Marcel Hascak both scored in the comeback attempt. Budgeting time for both teams stars are pertinent for success.
Looking ahead, both squads are hungry for a medal. Will the U.S. strike a win twice against Slovakia? Time of possession is a tell-tale sign of success. Specifically, shots on goal. The Americans slapped 31 shots in Friday’s victory. Whereas the Slovaks failed to put a shot on goal in overtime against Slovenia. Moreover, pace of play is key for the Americans.
In the long run, both squads are poised for a medal run. Group B is no cakewalk. Afterfall, the same four teams competed in pool play four years ago. Hence, these teams are awfully familiar to its opponents competition.
Surprisingly, three of U.S.A’s goals are from the college level. Veterans Brian Gionta, Mark Arcobello, Broc Little or Bobby Butler to may want to find the net.
