Canada/Cornell Women's Hockey (duh - SPOILERS, Greg)

[Ninian 72]

Announcers stated during the OAR game that Johnston, Jenner, and Saulnier played on the same line at Cornell. Anyone remember whether this is true? After watching Jenner's feed to Johnston for her first goal, this is certainly plausible. What a pretty play!

Well, Saulnier is a defenseman, so...

Edit: I guess she was a forward in college, so never mind.

Edit edit: I was thinking of Rougeau so, uh, as you were.

They did, but Johnston Saulnier only were on the team together for one year.

That Would be 2011-2012.  That was the year of the 3OT game in the NCAA QF against BU.  Count how many Canada Olympians were on the ice at Lynah that night.

Perhaps this is a better spot to put this good article about the sisters from Lansing who founded the Cornell and BC Women's teams.

Gold Medal game tomorrow night. Canada has 5 Cornell products. USA has 5 from BC.

SO glad dss28 and I stayed up to watch last night's game to the end. I don't love winning by shootout, but I love winning. Watching the U.S. women control the play during overtime was a beautiful thing.

Our Cornellians from Canada did great, and they somewhat outskated the Americans for a good chunk of the game, but Rooney did a fabulous job and the U.S. team deserved this victory big time.

To watch a great game be ruined by shootout was very disappointing. Especially at 2am! Let them play.

I'm at work today and very happy I didn't stay up to watch a #$#@ shootout! If lucky my DVR recording ends before the shootout begins.

I didn't watch, but by all accounts the US dominated the OT, so at least the shootout went the way the game *probably* would have.

I got that impression too.  I'm surprised Canada didn't blow them out -- we looked like a far more skilled team (through Carnelian glasses).  I guess USA found a good strategy to nullify the advantage.

If the NCAA can play to infinity why not the Olympics?

As I've said in the past referring to the OT games in the playoffs "Is this heaven or hell?"

Shootouts are worse than hell.

Deciding an important hockey championship with a shootout is like deciding a tied seventh World Series championship game with a home run hitting contest.  Ridiculous.
