Emma Polusny - St. Cloud State

Re: 2019 IIHF Women's Worlds

so under the new agreement made with USA hockey.....college players don't get paid what the pro players get paid. is this intended to be a cost-cutting roster? Do they have to pay the seniors now that their college careers are done? Thought we wanted to see Katie Burt and Gigi Marvin +++++

Your friendly neighborhood Russia fan here. Russia squad is entirely domestic-based with the exception of Maine blueliner Daria Teryoshkina/Tereshkina.

(the former is the more phoentic spelling that the IIHF uses, the latter is how Maine spells it)

I find that my Western tongue is better suited to speaking names like "Daria" or "Lisa" than many Eastern European surnames. At least when it comes to spelling them, copy/paste is my friend. :) Thanks for the info!

Funny thing... "Daria" in this case is pronounced Dasha.

So is this true, or should we wait until April 2 to see what you post then? ;)
 
Re: 2019 IIHF Women's Worlds

New format:

Tournament format changes for 2019 – A number of changes have been made to the tournament format since the last Women's Worlds in 2017. The tournament now features 10 teams, still split with the top 5 teams (USA, Canada, Finland, Russia, and Switzerland) in Group A and the next five (Sweden, Japan, Germany, Czech Republic, and France) in Group B. All five Group A teams automatically advance to the playoff round, joined by the top three Group B finishers, and those eight teams will play a full quarterfinal round as the byes from previous years have been eliminated, but there will not be any additional placement games for quarterfinal losers. The fourth and fifth-place finishers in Group B after round-robin play will face each other again in a purely symbolic 9th-place game (on April 11) as both will be relegated to Division I Group A. (Note that the 2019 Division I Group A tournament to determine which two teams will be promoted to the top division for the 2020 World Championship begins April 7 in Budapest, Hungary.)
 
Re: 2019 IIHF Women's Worlds

Looks like there might be free live video streaming available. I didn't spend hours poking around online, but the earlier games being played in the lower levels have video links if you really, really need a hockey fix. I hope it's the same once the top level teams start playing on Thursday.

Scroll down to the schedule and click to see the full schedule. Each game has its own page that hopefully will have a video link. Or I'm an idiot. That's always possible.

Fun fact - Lisa actually isn't my name, but rather comes from the Russian word лиса, which is specifically a female fox. Linguistics lesson today :P

On the topic of the Worlds, an interesting side note for Russia is that the domestic season actually isn't over. The best-of-three championship series will take place between Agidel Ufa and Dinamo St. Petersburg after the tournament. (The way Agidel made it was insane, erasing a three goal deficit in a decisive game three against SKIF Nizhny Novgorod and winning in OT on an Olga Sosina hat trick. Absolutely mental.)

I can confirm this is true. I plugged лиса into Google Translate and it came back as Fox - trust but verify!

I think that you only have to be that skeptical if the post is a) coming from D2D on April 1; b) made by TTT and doesn't involve ice cream or rankings systems; or c) is pretty much anything that I post, which I guess would include this. :o
 
Re: 2019 IIHF Women's Worlds

A very slow start by the Americans, but a great 3rd period in which they scored 5 times to win going away 6-2. Kendall Coyne Schofield awarded the Player of the Game. The action ramps up considerably on Saturday when they take on Canada at 12:30pm ET.

And on the Canadian side, Canada scored 4 in the 3rd to top Switzerland 6-0.
 
Re: 2019 IIHF Women's Worlds

Not playing with AP will allow her to be the terrific player that she is. She will have the puck on her stick a lot more and regain her spot amongst the top young players in the game.
