Canada's 4-2 victory over the U.S. was merely a meaningless preliminary tilt, but the sport’s fiercest rivalry did not disappoint
The turning point came in the second period, after Carpenter chipped a backhander past Desbiens to put the U.S. ahead, 2–1. Twenty-six seconds later, the PA announcer at Wukesong Arena was still busy listing off the goal in Mandarin when Nurse intercepted an errant U.S. pass, flung a spin-o-rama pass to Brianne Jenner and watched her line mate pot the tying goal.
Such is life against Canada, winners of four of six gold medals since the sport was introduced in Nagano in 1998, as well as the most recent world championships. Thanks to the pandemic, the world’s two best women’s hockey squads—by a wide margin—have spent the past two years battling each other and virtually no one else. Tendencies have been memorized. Animus has festered. Little surprises those involved.
What worked Tuesday were the smooth defensive zone exits, speedy transitions and sustained offensive zone time that led to an onslaught of pucks peppered at Desbiens. "We pushed the pace," U.S. captain Kendall Coyne Schofield said. What didn’t? "[Letting] down in that second period,” winger Abbey Murphy said. “I think we had some tough shifts and you can’t do that, especially in a game against Canada."could’ve proved detrimentally draining.
