Re: 2019 IIHF Women's Worlds
Thanks Poker. You've solved the adventure of the disappearing puck. Your overhead video shows that Rigsby would not have been able to grab the puck even if there had been no collision because it was just outside of her stab attempt with her glove and in was continuing to move away from her. Not that that proves anything with respect to the decision but it fills in a knowledge gap or two.
And how about that end to end Bobby Orr style rush from Hiirikoski...wasn't that a thing of beauty?
It appears that the majority of people here are of the opinion that Finland won but come on guys you're better than that...she deserves better than that.
Her name is Hiirikoski...Jenni Hiirikoski...and she is one of the best womens hockey players on the planet. (OK, I admit I missed an "i" earlier on).
And how much greater is Team Finland's gargantuan effort and accomplishment vs Team USA when you consider that they had just come off an equally draining game the day before vs Team Canada?
We've just witnessed some womens hockey history which will be hard to top for emotional impact. How often will Team Finland's players (and untold numbers of others throughout their country) tell and retell this story to their kids and their grandkids in the decades to come?...who will then retell it again.
Amazing game (two back to back actually) and an amazing story. They have my respect.
Watching what they just accomplished is why we watch the game.
