After Thursday night’s Eagle-splosion in the IIHF Women’s World Championship semifinals against Germany, you would have liked to see some more Eagles on the score sheet in the gold medal game against Canada.
While no Eagles tallied points against the Canadians, they made their presence felt in other ways — from current junior Kali Flanagan coolly defending world superstar Marie-Philip Poulin one-on-one, to Kelli Stack dancing around Canadian defenders like old times on the Heights. All six Eagles saw significant minutes and helped the Americans on their way to World Championship gold, their 7th in the last 8 tournaments, and the last before the 2018 Olympics.
