Finland, 4-3
This is not going to be incisive factual analysis, it’s going to be emotional. I have not been following Team Canada and its exploits closely enough for long enough to be able to say with any authority what all of their mistakes have been over the years and I was not in detail-oriented recap mode while watching.
Going into this game, everyone knew Noora Räty was an elite-level goalie. Why coach Laura Schuler chose to start Emerance Maschmeyer against her and didn’t even dress Shannon Szabados may remain a question for the ages.
