Usa Gets The Upper Hand In Hot Physical Game Against Canada At Wwhc

On Tuesday at the KVIK Hockey Arena in Herning, Denmark, the Americans got the best of Canada in the best rivalry in sports, earning a 5-2 victory to enter the knockout stage of the IIHF Women’s World Championship as the top seed and undefeated. to boot. But despite the one-sided score in this meeting of hockey’s top two teams, the game was very heated and more back-and-forth than the score line suggests. Canada took a 2-0 lead in the first and the Americans tied things up in the second, leaving yet another game between these two nations to be decided in the final period. Team USA certainly stepped up: They scored three more times to make it five unanswered goals, securing victory in this final game of the qualifying round. The Americans will then face Hungary in the quarterfinals, while Canada plays Sweden. Those games come on Thursday. But first, let’s take a look at some highlights from what could be (and will be, barring a major upset) a preview of the gold medal matchup set for Sunday, September 4 at 1:30 p.m. ET. Coin knocks This American team has an incredibly potent attack and had scored a tournament-leading 25 goals in their three games prior to this. There is so much firepower in this team. But as of Tuesday, the team’s charismatic leader had yet to turn on the light bulb. However, Kendall Coyne Schofield got that monkey off her back against Canada, and it was big. The six-time world champion scored to give the Americans a 4-2 lead with just over six minutes left in the third period. Just before the goal, Coyne Schofield had been brought down at the Canadian blue line (this play was a strong physical). As her team gained possession and began to press — Canadian goalie Emerance Maschmeyer made three or four big saves — Coyne Schofield planted herself two feet in front of the net, pounced on a loose puck and put it past Maschmeyer. She then pumped both fists as her teammates covered her in hugs. Coyne Schofield’s goal was her team’s incredible 29th of the tournament. The Americans have scored 30 goals in four games and the playoffs are still ahead. Maschmeyer’s debut and the goalkeeper situation Canada started Maschmeyer in net on Tuesday, and it was her first game at these world championships. The 27-year-old out of Edmonton played well — making several big saves in the early turns and getting the first down on a Megan Keller shot from the point that bounced off one of Maschmeier’s teammates and in. While Maschmeyer played well and deserves to see more time, she is not considered Canada’s No. 1. This was Ann-Renee Desbiens’ job to lose. Desbiens backed that team to the 2021 world championship title (Canada’s first in nearly a decade) and the Olympic gold medal earlier this year. If these teams meet again, it is expected that coach Troy Ryan will choose to start Desbiens. The Americans also split time between two goalkeepers: Nicole Hensley, who started Tuesday, and Maddie Rooney, who has two games under her belt and has given up just one goal. Overall, Team USA has given up just three goals all tournament. The turning point Canada took an early lead thanks to goals from Ella Shelton (more on her goal later) and Sarah Fillier, who now has four championships in the tournament, tied with Sweden’s Hanna Olsson and Natalie Mlynkova of the Czech Republic. Although the Americans responded to tie things up in the second, the turning point came on the game’s most beautiful goal early in the third period. That’s when American Lacey Eden took a beautiful cross-ice feed from Savannah Harmon, and from the right dot, she ripped a laser beam over Maschmeyer’s right shoulder to give her team a 3-2 lead. And the Americans never looked back. Earlier this year, Eden was focused before the Olympics, but didn’t crack the final Team USA roster. Ella Shelton Ends America’s Perfect Murder The Americans gave up their first power-play goal of this tournament, thanks to the efforts of Canadian defender Ella Shelton, who was grinning from ear to ear after giving her team a 2-0 lead (which quickly evaporated) on Tuesday. Shelton was stationed right at the doorstep of the American net and pounced on a loose puck after teammate Victoria Bach took a shot. It marked Shelton’s first goal against the Americans on the international stage. Shelton, 24, of Ingersoll, Ont., is one of the few members of this Canadian team who has only tasted the sweetness of victory. Her two lone appearances on the biggest stages with the senior team were the world championships last year and the Olympics earlier this year. Canada, of course, won both. Shelton was Canada’s seventh-ranked defenseman in Beijing at the Olympics and is now getting time on the power play. This marked her second goal of the tournament. Right (Knight) on the threshold of history Hilary Knight had her 85th career point of this tournament in the second period on a secondary assist, but upon further review, that point was re-credited to a teammate. But the 33-year-old American put No. 85 rather emphatically — a slap from the high slot, into an empty net. And that was a big empty net: Knight is now just two points away from being the all-time leader in the history of this tournament. The current holder of this record with 86 points is none other than Canada’s own Hayley Wickenheiser. Knight’s parents and brother are at the tournament in Denmark — her dad had the biggest smile after his daughter scored Tuesday. They will no doubt be hoping to see Knight make history, but also to capture what would be an incredible ninth world championship title. If that were to happen, you’d probably hear a lot of bells, thanks to Knight’s family.
