Late 3rd period 8 min left. Live on Youtube

u20 Hungary vs USA (exhibition)

5-4 USA leads

4-2 USA entering 3rd. Hogg gives up a soft wrist shot and then shortly after a pp goal to make 4-4. USA has a goal waved off, and then scores again seconds later to regain lead.

USA has dominated play. Colin Purcell and Hogg having a tough time keeping the momentum in goal. Each playing half the game. First time for both representing their country. Some nerves showing. Hopefully get some jitters out of the way before the real competition starts.
