In case you missed it last night, the US and Canadian women's hockey teams do not like each other. There have been fights before like this one earlier this year during an exhibition game at Vermont....
Canada's Melodie Daoust had some things to say, sticks got high and a melee ensued....
You can watch all the game highlights here, but if you'll be in Minnesota on December 28th, I strongly encourage you to get tickets to their next game in St Paul. The rest of us will be able to watch on NBCSN. These two teams will face-off for the last time before the Olympics in Toronto on December 30th. Team USA has two more cuts to make and will announce their Olympic roster along with the men's team during the Winter Classic in Ann Arbor.
**********
In news from Sweden yesterday, USA lost 4-2 to Sweden in pre-tournament action. Anthony Stolarz made 19 saves in the loss while Oskar Dansk made 36. Ryan Hartman and Danny O'Regan scored for the USA with Andreas Johnson (2), Alex Wennberg and Sebastian Collberg scoring for the Swedes.
Canada defeated Finland 4-2 with goals by Bo Horvat, Matt Dumba, Aaron Ekblad and Anthony Mantha and made two cuts afterward - Damon Severson and Hunter Shinkaruk. Team Canada has one more cut to make before their roster is set.
Tomorrow, USA will play Finland and Canada will play Sweden in their last action before the tournament begins on Thursday.
