USA sweeps the U22 series (3-0) with a 3-2 shootout win today.
USA dominated the game and if not for Canada's goalie , Anne Renee Desbiens (Wisconsin) the game would have been a blowout. Canada actually led the game 2-0 with less than 3 minutes to go but they took a penalty, the US pulled their goalie and scored on the 6-4 with less than 2 min to go. Then the US pulled their goalie again and they scored again with less than a min to go to tie it up 2-2. Canada took another penalty and it carried over into the 5 min OT (which was played 4-4). For the ensuing 4-3 pk for 1:13, the Canadian coach had an all Clarkson lineup of MacAulay, Fast and Ambrose out and they killed all but 7 sec of the PP before they left the ice. Ambrose made a number of key blocks. USA outshot Canada 29-14 and I would bet 15 of those 29 stops by Desbiens were grade A and 4 or 5 were real Sportscenter Top 10 worthy
