Olympics: Women tournament

[John Price]

I don't believe women's hockey should be removed because of dominance. Lot of sports in the Olympics are filled with 2 titans and everyone else. Women's soccer, softball, baseball, etc. Heck, for many of those Japan has dominated softball or baseball. It was either them or South Korea.

USA had some good chances off Canada turnovers but Canada made some solid saves.

1-0 Canada after 1.

Hockey goes that way sometimes.

The US had some chances and Desbiens looked a little shaky on those turnovers. That is normal when pucks are coming at you all the time.

The US PP looked awful. The passing and shot selection was poor or Canada was playing superb defense.

 

[The Grim Reaper]

Defense by Canada was atrocious that period. Should be easy to tilt the score in the second if they don’t adjust.

 

[lawrence]

Canada being overwhelmed. They better adjust or else the Americans will just attacking waves and we will lose for sure.

 

[lawrence]

US hockey will take over the Olympics.

no.......

 

[BMOK33]

Canada being overwhelmed. They better adjust or else the Americans will just attacking waves and we will lose for sure.

On a back to back its not surprising and they played even later than they were supposed to. I expect if they have a 2 goal lead entering the third they're good otherwise it might be interesting

 

[The Grim Reaper]

no.......

Denial is a hell of a drug, mate.

 

[Maestro84]

I know the talent level in women's hockey is very lopsided, but the Canada vs USA rivalry in women's hockey is easily one of my top 5 favourite rivalries in all of sports

 

[Czechboy]

That poor ref.. she got sliced! Total accident but that is a permanent scar for sure.

Surprised players wear full shields but not refs. Maybe that's normal.

 

[lawrence]

Denial is a hell of a drug, mate.

unless we somehow stop playing hockey it's always going to be 50/50.

 

[melinko]

It feels like the US never has people in front of the net.

 

[kihei]

5-10 years from now, US hockey will take over the Olympics.

I've been hearing this for at least the past twenty years.

 

[kihei]

Gotta say, that was much deserved.

 

[Tasty Biscuits]

That one felt inevitable.

 

[BMOK33]

Sort of funny they score on a broken play

 

[Czechboy]

Nice pressure and goal by US... Nice block by Canadian D but bad bounce right back to US girl. 1-1.. no shock.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

That one felt inevitable.

Yup. Score is really flattering Canada here.

 

[adsfan]

US scored by attacking the goal and getting their Dmen off the blueline and closer to the net.

 

[Maestro84]

The girls need to up their game a bit here, the Americans are definitely the better team through 30 mins so far.

After 2014 though, I'm never counting them out of a match again

 

[LarryO]

Anyone notice that Shoresy #69 is linesman in the Canada US game?

 

[lawrence]

Incoming floodgates…… our defence has problems…..

 

[GQS]

Oh no.

 

[Panthaz89]

That was pretty

 

[adsfan]

It feels like the US never has people in front of the net.

Canada has packed the goal a few times. The US has to spread out to spread the defenders out.

Goal #2 for the US!

 

[snipes]

USA PP goal

2-1 now for the Americans
