The American women's hockey team took home the gold in the 2013 Women's World Hockey Championships Tuesday, beating Team Canada 3-2. From the Globe and Mail:
That was a slick move around the Canadian defender and an absolute BULLET of a shot!
I'm looking forward to Sochi. We've always been a big supporter of women's hockey here at EIP, and not only because of the game. You go, Ladies!
For the Canadians, the loss, which came with a silver medal, dropped them to a still-impressive 14-8-0 record against USA in such competition. The Canadians have also won the last three Olympic gold medals, whereas the Americans took the first, when women’s hockey was first admitted to the Winter Games back in 1998.Here's Amanda Kessel's game-winning goal:

Both teams know they will meet – they outdistance the competition as diamonds to cut glass – and the U.S.-Canada games are always hard fought and intense.

I like women playing hockey, and I like to watch too.

ReplyDeleteI've been following the Flames' soap opera and it ain't pretty. OTOH, things ain't so great for my Wings, either, what with bein' on the playoff bubble. Watching them play this year is quite painful at times.
