Mo Lam ran the goalie. I applaud Canada's #11!
In hockey, men or women, if you run the goalie than your head should be bashed. It's HOCKEY
LOL! I don't think you've seen someone who has "ran the goalie" before!

Video of "the brawl" even made it into the online version of our local paper:

fixt for you
the goalie obviously was looking for a penalty, none was called, typical goon hockey move by #11
on the other hand maybe they have finally found the answer for why women's hockey cannot draw a crowd
maybe Canada & US can get together and have the WWF choreograph the fights, could be a big draw

Your view is so far out of touch with reality, it is not even funny. Any knowledgeable hockey person is well aware that if a goalie gets run, teammates stand up to defend the goalie. Does not matter whether the "run in" was intentional or not avoidable. The skater in question has a enough of a reputation to suggest she knew exactly what she was doing.
Either way, don't see it as a big deal. The goalie was run, accidental or not, her teammates came to her defense, and the scrum was ho-hum, nothing much to write home about.
The players on these teams know each other well. There are bound to be heightened emotions in this run up to the main event. That is nothing new.
Next game please.

A skater going hard to the net, and does NOT receive a goalie interference penalty, does NOT deserve to get jumped. If that were the case, I would have seen some "fights" last weekend at the Ralph. To say Canada's #11 didn't initiate the "brawl" is ludicrous. Maybe the goalie should have flopped some more cuz that dirty player didn't even receive a penalty!

I wish I could read minds like you can
I understand that is what is taught in Canada, that is exactly my point.
look at the post above, the same thing happened at Ridder last weekend, the goalie ended up under an opposing player, the ref had to help untangle them, not because they were fighting, they were literally tangled up in each other, it happens
we all know there is a place for the big kid lacking in hockey skills, where the "rule" in question comes from and who teaches it
congrats, apparently now it is in women's hockey too

Looked pretty innocent to me.
Is there tv coverage of this series in the US?

Dunno about the US, but the current game is live on TSN nationwide up here in Canada. Score is 5-2 after two. The series was discussed on the local sports station as well, and one of the comments was that "the fight" the other day was better advertising for women's hockey than any win. It's got everyone talking about it at the water cooler.

Per the USAHockeyScores Twitter feed, Canada's 5 goals have come on only 16 SOG. Not good.
USA Hockey's Twitter feed earlier today said there would be no live coverage in the U.S.

An unfortunate point of view per promoting the sport for its true entertainment value to sports fans and potential new, long term fans of the sport. In my opinion.
Re: US National Teams: U30s & Mrs. Potter, U22s, U18s Part II
The over-reaction to this little incident is amusing, to say the least. Monique Lamoureux ran the goalie ("bad", but nothing more than that), Birchard (#11 for Canada) wrestled her to the ice (good job, there), and sister Jocelyne Lamoureux came to her sisters defence (also commendable). Bit of pushing and shoving after that but....the women's game is still in great shape. Chill everyone, and lets look forward to some great hockey in the Olympics.

Re: US National Teams: U30s & Mrs. Potter, U22s, U18s Part II
Final: Canada 6, USA 3
Canada's goal percentage wasn't quite as high as previously reported, but still 6 goals on 29 SOG.
U.S. goals by Decker, J. Lam, and Coyne.

Agree that the incident was minor, even stated as much in my post. Point of the post was some peoples over-reaction to it.
Watched the game last night on TSN. There was some chippyness (sp?) in the game, but that is to be expected in a fierce rivarly like this one. It makes watching the games more interesting. Most players on both teams would to anything to get an edge, and you would fully expect that from players at this level. Many supporters/fans love those players if there on their team, but hate them if they are or on the opposition. That is just the nature of sport.

And once it gets to "brawling", I don't see that as upping the interest factor either. The women are very good hockey players; most are rather lousy at fighting.
I disagree with it being more interesting. I find it interesting to watch people play the game, any game, at a high level of skill, work ethic, and teamwork. I get to watch people behave like jerks enough in everyday life outside of sport.

Re: US National Teams: U30s & Mrs. Potter, U22s, U18s Part II
Have to agree with ARM on this one. I posted the Star Tribune link above, not because I enjoy watching hockey fights but rather I found it interesting that the publication would choose to include it. I would strongly prefer they highlight game action that shows off their tremendous hockey talent - not their fighting ability, or lack thereof.

I said a game with some chippiness is more interesting to watch. Does not mean I condone fighting, or players behaving like rats/jerks. On the contrary, personally hate that part of the game, but a good battle with some feistiness is what you do want out of your players.
But while you may not like it, the reality is that a good clean fight is part of what sells the game up here north of the border.
