Hockey The game of female lions did not stay together at the Olympic opening

Beijing

Finland – United States 2–5

Olympic Games in the opening match in China, the female lions were immediately subjected to cold treatment, which was well suited to the severe frost weather in Beijing as well.

Head coach Pasi Mustonen Finland had never defeated the United States, and it remained a dream in the almost completely empty Arena of Wukesong. The loss was recorded in 2–5 and does not contain any excess.

Wukesong’s approximately 10,000-seat hall would qualify for all other league clubs except Tampere, who got their own Nokia arena.

One important pattern against disc waste in North America is being able to keep the match smooth and preferably unfinished for as long as possible. Now the balance stayed dry for only ten minutes when I belonged to the puck family Amanda Kessel walked in to the Finnish goal: 0–1 and the clock stopped at 10.37.

Too fast paint and far too easy to come. Defender Ella Viitasuo and the attacker Petra Nieminen played their opponents away from the goal, but the door was forgotten to open.

A similar mistake would still be forgiven in Ilves’ home game, but there were no fires at the spectacular sports center in Wukesong.

The match often doesn’t crash into one conceded goal, but the U.S. second came less than three minutes later.

Keeper Anni Keisala left a slit between his arm and the pole. That was enough and Alex Carpenter fired at it.

The superiority paint would have been acceptable, but the way it came threw questions into the air. Keisala could have fought the puck another day, but how would he have played out the outcast Noora Räty.

The cross feed was a well-played pattern, but Keisala fell off the ride too quickly.

It is a pity for Keisala that his every fight is compared to Räty, even though Keisala is completely insensitive to the rising goalie fuss that seems to be bubbling from day to day and week to week.

“Yes, it’s a fact that five on their own is too much,” Keisala said, adding that at least the third U.S. goal went too easily for him.

“Direct bets shouldn’t go. I didn’t move a little, but I learn from everything. ”

Quite quickly the U.S. match unearthed the strength and weakness of the Female Lions. Susanna Tapanin, Michelle Karvisen and Nieminen’s chain took the game up and built situations, change triplets or fives much less – if at all.

The women’s Olympic hockey series system allows Finland to lose to the United States and Canada without compromising its place in any way.-

Still, the complete disappearance of the offensive game in the second installment was very worrying. And it wasn’t really just about attacking, it was about playing as a whole.

“There was not the slightest bit in the second installment. An old familiar problem. We have a solution for that, but we can’t implement it, ”Mustonen said.

The first match of the tournament is in the run-in phase, but there would have been little more hope. The players themselves talk about the washing machine changes they have to make at their own field end. Against the US, they were offered in front of the entire tournament.

Four discs sank into the Imperial in two installments behind his back, but his direction is useless with signs. The other players arranged a rush for their own goalkeeper.

Perhaps Kendall Coyne Schofieldin The scoreboard now read 0 – 3. About Nelli Laitista maskina.

Directing Coyne Schofield’s lead to the U.S.’s fourth finish would have been valid in all of the world’s puck series. That puck would also have sunk for almost all goalkeepers.

Coyne Schofield is a big disc name in North America. He has commented on NHL matches and skated in the NHL All-Star Game, and was nowhere near last.

The 1–4 reduction launched by Susanna Tapan lifted the Finns to the scoreboard, even though there was no hit for the match.

The narrowing of the start of the third round, however, gave signs of a gradual recovery in the offensive game.

It also tasted good to the Finns that Tapan’s shot seemed to be squatting on the pole a couple of minutes before the end, but after the video review, the shot was approved as a goal.

“I was pretty sure the puck hit both poles and came out of it,” Tapani said and didn’t remember seeing anything like it before moving the clock back for about two minutes.

Finland will face Canada on Saturday, when the second part of the entry phase will continue. So far, the brakes have been tested, but you should finally find a gas pedal somewhere as well.
