Would be nice for Korea to score a goal and Japan to win. A first for both teams.

 

[flaneur]

the energy of the arena is electric.

 

[offkilter]

1-0 Japan a little over a minute in. To quote Russel Peters "Someone gonna get a hurt real bad."

 

[shortshorts]

Korea got a shot!

 

[offkilter]

Well 2-0 Japan now with a power play goal by Shoko Ono.

 

[shortshorts]

Korea actually looks like a team right now.

 

[flaneur]

happy for korea that they got their first ever olympic goal

 

[JRinNYC]

That was so close to being 2-2 there.

 

[GloveSaveFuhr]

Cracker of a game so far. Let's go Corea

 

[Based Anime Fan]

3rd period pretty quick

 

[Sam Spade]

I am pleasantly surprised at the level of hockey being played here.

A friend of mine played on the first Team Japan in the Olympics in 1998 and boy have they come a long way.

 

[JRinNYC]

1st star of this game should go to Shin, she's played well in net and has kept Korea in this game.

 

[shortshorts]

This has been an awesome game in terms of storylines.

Both ahould be proud of themselves.

 

[shortshorts]

What a save by Shin. This is what the Olympics are about.

 

[offkilter]

4-1 Japan final with both sides making history! This might be the last time these two play this Olympics depending on how the classification round goes.

 

[GloveSaveFuhr]

Someone sign Shin.

 

[Ravenclaw2099]

Entertaining game by both teams.
While I feel Japan is ahead in terms of overall play, the Koreans seem to have stronger shooters, just need more opportunities.
Korea also has an amazing goalie in Shin, her athelitecism and puck tracking are on point.

That said the potential for both teams is amazing and I will definitely continue to follow them. 4 years is too long of a wait!

 

[flaneur]

What a game!

Congrats to both Korea and Japan. Japan was obviously the more skilled and experienced team but Korea fought hard and made it feel like it could have gone either way. They really gave everything they had.

There is a lot of potential with Korea (South Korea?). I hope their government will decide to continue to nurture their development post-Olympics.

Also, shout out to Shin for her MVP performance.
