“Gavin Brindley. Shorthanded. Here he goes… Oh!” - Me, surprised that he actually scored as he skated up ice and went post-and-in shorthanded to give USA the 3-1 lead. The #CBJ prospect has been outstanding in this tournament.
At the World Juniors, USA in a great game with Czechia, currently 3-3 in overtime. No points today (yet) for Gavin Brindley, but he just drew a penalty in overtime. #CBJ
