Team USA gets the first goal, Nate Gerbe putting the biscuit in the basket at 10:02 with an assist from Erik Johnson.

I wish I could see it, but at least I know the score and penalties so far.

2-0 USA
Pat Kane from Mueller and Gerbe

I wish they were doing the audio coverage on USAHockey like they do for the tournament games.

Looks like the game got a little ugly at the end of the 2nd.

Word has it he was raised by hockey loving wolves. It seems a little odd I know but Eklund is rarely wrong.

This looks as if it will be the Top line for the US, certainly in terms of production.


I really think Pat Kane is going to have a "coming out party" so to speak. He is smallish, but since that no longer matters in the new NHL teams picking in the 3-7 sopts may seriously consider taking a look at hime when this is all said and done. I've watched him play about 5 times this year and a few times last year when he was with the NTDP's, his offensive potential is truly limitless.

I think he could go as high as 2nd overall for that very reason (I think Alzner is going to be #1 this year). One of the most explosive players in the draft and with size not being nearly as much of an issue as it once was I can see a team like St Louis going for him.

Kane is going to be at the top of this years wjc...one way or another. The rest of his line will benefit.
