2010 IIHF Four Nations Cup

Re: 2010 IIHF Four Nations Cup

U.S. Women's Select Team Edged by Canada, 3-2, in Overtime


November 13, 2010

ST. JOHN'S, N.L. - Despite Molly Schaus' (Natick, Mass.) 49 saves, the U.S. Women's Select Team was edged by Canada, 3-2, on a power-play goal in overtime of the championship game at the 2010 Women's Four Nations Cup here tonight at Mile One Centre. Team USA finished the tournament with a 2-1-1-0 record to garner second place.

"We played our hearts out and put everything on the ice," said Katey Stone, head coach for Team USA. "It was a great hockey game."

The U.S. came out strong in the first period, jumping out to a 10-5 advantage in shots despite being down a player for four minutes of the early part of the frame. Canada gained momentum from a goal at 16:46 and a late power-play opportunity, and evened the shots at 10-10 by the end of the 20 minutes. Rebecca Johnston was the goal-scorer for the Canadians, as her shot from the slot flipped up and over Schaus.

In the second period, Team USA scored back-to-back goals at 9:07 and 10:24 to take a 2-1 lead before Canada evened the tally at 18:11.

Julie Chu (Fairfield, Conn.) beat Canadian goaltender Shannon Szabados with a backhanded shot after a give-and-go with Jocelyne Lamoureux (Grand Forks, N.D.) for the first U.S. goal, then Kendall Coyne (Palos Heights, Ill.) scored 1:17 later off a feed across the goalmouth from Monique Lamoureux-Kolls (Grand Forks, N.D.).

Meaghan Mikkelson netted a rebound power-play goal for Canada at 18:11 to knot the game at 2-2 heading into the second intermission.

The score remained tied throughout the third period, with Schaus making 20 saves in net for the U.S. to force a 20-minute four-on-four sudden-death overtime session.
In overtime, Kacey Bellamy (Westfield, Mass.) was whistled for tripping as she tried to stop a rushing Canadian player in front of the U.S. net. As she was called, she went down with an injury and had to be taken off the ice before play resumed. Canada then scored on the power play at 6:25 to claim the tournament championship.

NOTES: Canada outshot the U.S. by a 52-26 margin ... The U.S. was 0-for-6 on the power play, while Canada was 2-for-9 ... Molly Schaus was named U.S. Player of the Game ... Meghan Duggan (Danvers, Mass.) finished as Team USA's top scorer with five points (3-2).

Goalie makes 49 saves and is named most valuable player.

"We played our hearts out and put everything on the ice."
"It was a great hockey game. "

Maybe the score was great

IT WAS THE GOALIE. Thank goodness for Schaus

Maybe we should get a coach with no ties to any College Program and figure a better way to pick the team.

do you really think the outcome would have been vastly different with a slightly different roster or coach in charge? Does anyone doubt Canada is deeper?

From the team's Facebook feed:

"U.S. Women's National Hockey Team
Kacey Bellamy is doing good and is back in Massachusetts after suffering a minor concussion against Canada on Saturday night. Look for her back on the ice with the Boston Blades and Team USA!"

As I understand the term, a "minor concussion" means she did not lose consciousness.

I thought the US did well to take Canada to OT in both games, playing in Canada. The Canadians are the best team in the world. Not by a large margin as they were in 2006, but they are better until we can prove otherwise.

That was my feeling on the 4 Nations this year. On paper (looking at the rosters), one could conclude that Canada was the better team, and they went out and proved it on the ice. There's no shame in getting beat by the better team. I was happy that Team USA was able to win one game against them. Both games could have gone either way.

Deeper only applies when you are putting together a number of teams, not when you are putting together 1 team. Granted, Canada may have more choices when it comes to putting together a team, but all they are asked to do is to put 20 on the ice that they think can win. I would not assume that these 20 in Canada are that much better than the 20 in the U.S.

The question is, are you getting the right 20 out there? I think the question is a valid one. And WFR's question regarding are the right people doing the evaluation is also valid.

Going off the score sheet, I would say it was lucky that they were able to hold on till overtime. To me, it seems to speak volumes that the team was outshot 2-1 - 52 SOGs seems huge at this level (at least between the US and Canada). Additionally, it seemed like a lot of the penalties were last ditch efforts because they got beat.

You can have a serious concussion without losing consciousness. Hopefully this is not the case with her.

Having been there, I can totally confirm.

Just pointing out the technical description, as I understand it, of the term "minor concussion." Going back more than 30 years, I believe that to the the "medical" meaning of "minor concussion."

Totally agreed that "minor" does not mean "not serious."

And lots more awareness these days of the seriousness of even the less immediately obvious damage that can be done.

Also hope she is well.

In this day and age, didn't think there was such a thing as a "minor concussion."
 
Re: 2010 IIHF Four Nations Cup

There are at least 16 concussion grading systems out there and little agreement by the experts as to which one is the best. Most of these use loss of consciousness and amnesia and their duration as determinants. The severity of the injury is then used to determine when return to activity is recommended along with other factors such as persistent symptoms and neuro testing compared to baseline.
