Should be a pen for Canada

 

[John Price]

Canada is fouled and will have a chance to tie it on a penalty.

Fleming to tie.

Goal. Tied.

 

[JackSlater]

Sweden has been the better team but now is Canada's time to push.

 

[GQS]

The only way Canada can score. Penalty shots.

At the end of the day we will have a new women's soccer champion and first time too. This is good for the game.

The US is clearly the best women's team but seeing two first timers who have been good for some time try for their first gold is also good.

 

[John Price]

Extra time looming in this gold medal match.

 

[Prntscrn]

ffs take Hurtig off again

 

[Jussi]

Crosby for the Golden Goal if this goes to Extra Time.

 

[John Price]

And we are going to extra time in Yokohama.

Canada has a lot of offensive shortcomings (multiple games won or tied on pk's) but their commitment to defense cannot be ignored. They shut the US down and have shut Sweden down save for that one goal. Sweden coming into the game was steamrolling opposition (and they beat Australia 1-0, nearly 2-0). Before Australia Sweden had won every game by more than 1 goal.

Is Madelen Janogy injured?

 

[GQS]

Can SOMEONE score a goal in OT please?? I don't want this to have to go to stupid penalties.

 

[John Price]

What a frenetic sequence. Canada are lucky it is still tied.

 

[1specter]

Canada is hanging on for dear life.

 

[John Price]

We go to PK's in Yokohama.

 

[John Price]

Canada is hanging on for dear life.

Canada is hedging their bets on Labbe and a strong D to keep Sweden off the board. Sweden controlled possession and had a sustained attack on Canada all ET. But they could not break the tie.

Canada's best chance to win now comes in the shootout. Canada's offense was very subpar. Like all tourney, it will come down to PK's.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

PK's...yikes

 

[John Price]

Fleming converts. Canada lead.

 

[John Price]

Hit da post with da shot!

 

[John Price]

Big save Labbe to keep Canada in it.

 

[John Price]

Save. Big for Sweden!

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

My god Seger

 

[GKJ]

This is one of the worst shootouts I’ve ever seen

 

[John Price]

Rose keeps Canada alive.
