Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 5351567, member: 173"] The 3rd period felt like a 20 minute penalty kill by the US. I thought they went into a shallow way too early, but apparently not. The defense was great, but the commitment of the forwards to defense in the third was key. I had no idea Matthews was that strong of a defensive forward, and Jack Hughes occasionally played something that looked vaguely like defense (which as a Devils fan I recognize as a rare thing). I’m curious to see what the ratings for the game are in the US; I was getting texts throughout the game from people who are not hockey fans, but know that I am talking to me about the game. I’m hoping that means the game had a lot of casual fan interest and it’s going to have a really strong TV rating. [/QUOTE]
