The semi-finals in the women’s Olympic hockey tournament were yesterday. These semi-finals pitted USA against Sweden and Canada against Finland. The preliminary round results are here.
USA 9 Sweden 1 This game was never really in doubt. USA scored first and scored often. They had a 4-0 lead midway through the second period when Pernilla Winberg scored a power play goal for Sweden. Monique Lamoreux scored a hat trick for the Americans, with Karen Thatcher, Caitlin Cahow, Jenny Potter, Jocelyne Lamoreux, Natalie Darwitz, Hilary Knight and Molly Engstrom all adding two points each. Jesse Vetter stopped 11 of 12 shots for the win. Kim Martin was much busier for Sweden. She faced 46 shots.
Canada 5 Finland 0 Canada was the dominant team here. They outshot the Fins 50-11. Haley Irwin led the Canadian offence with two goals. Jayna Hefford added two assists. Shannon Szabados was the underworked Canadian goalie who earned a shutout. Noora Raty was the overworked Finnish goalie who lost.
That gives us a USA vs. Canada game for the gold and silver medals and a Sweden vs. Finland game for bronze and fourth. These will be played on Thursday.
