This was a great game and easily Canada’s best performance against the USA since the Rivalry Series last year. Although that is not saying much. To their genuine credit, I thought they played quite well in the beginning. They clearly took a more conservative approach with an emphasis on the counter and it worked, at first. That’s how they got their goal. Their penalty kill did a good job suppressing the USA powerplay and when the Americans made a mistake, they pounced and went up. While I will admit it worked through 2 periods, I never like when a team plays conservatively and goes into a shell while up 1 goal, because I always think “what happens if they lose that lead”? The USA gained more and more ground in the 3rd, Canada got sloppy and made more mistakes which led up to Hillary Knight scoring the tying goal and Keller with a nasty dangle to score the winner in OT. This one hurts, no doubt. My hope is this loss will finally send a message to Canada that something needs to change.

What a great performance by the girls. Nobody thought we would even come close to competing with the Americans. Super heartbreaking goal there in OT but that Canadian defenseman should have played the body, not the puck. Great performance by Desbiens, proving once again she is the best current female goaltender. The US girls were just faster, stronger and younger than us. Congratulations.

USA’s goalie delivered a masterclass tonight. The game tying goal on the first shot with 6 skaters set the tone for the rest of the game. The game WINNING goal was absolute filth. Proud of the girls. Extra .5 points added to this rating for having the national anthem play AFTER the game 🇺🇸
