USA vs Denmark Post Game ft. Shawn DePaz & Steve Peters

Team USA survives Denmark 6–3 at the 2026 Milan Games and moves to 2–0 in Group C — but it wasn’t as comfortable as the final score suggests. Shawn DePaz and Steve Peters break down another slow American start, the defensive-zone details that led to early trouble, and why the late goal against with three seconds left in the period can’t happen in medal-round hockey. The guys dive into the power play issues, whether Auston Matthews has found his takeover gear yet, Brady Tkachuk’s MVP-level start to the tournament, and the looming goaltending questions surrounding Jeremy Swayman, Connor Hellebuyck, and Jake Oettinger. Plus, they look ahead to USA vs Germany and debate what this team needs to clean up before a potential USA–Canada showdown.Presented by bet365 — whatever the moment, it’s never ordinary.Chapters00:00 Welcome + USA survives Denmark 6–301:12 Slow starts again — cause for concern?03:14 Defensive-zone details + first goal breakdown06:01 Line combinations & 13-forward juggling09:10 Roster snubs (Caufield, Robertson, DeBrincat)14:17 Charlie McAvoy leadership + Olympic Village talk17:42 Swayman analysis — all three goals examined22:14 Goalie rotation: Hellebuyck vs Oettinger debate29:00 Grading Team USA’s performance30:55 Late-period goal: why it can’t happen31:16 Power play concerns + possible adjustments35:15 Has Auston Matthews hit another gear yet?38:39 Brady Tkachuk spotlight (Player of the Game)44:19 USA vs Germany preview — what needs to improve47:16 USA–Canada gold medal debate52:13 Coaching adjustments in medal round55:30 Wrap-up + subscribe for full Milan Games coverage Hosted on Acast.
