A penalty? That must have been a goal-saving hook 

[diacope 1,696]

both of these teams started the tournament hot with plenty of action all around the rink, making this an excellent match to review. in the first, we saw 5 different players enter the box, 3 for world and 2 for usa, but it would be the first few that mattered most for world as they opened the game down a man and gave up another not long after evoraping half an advantage of their own. with the extra chance, usa took the lead in the first 2-1 thanks to a pair of goals scored and assisted by chris reynolds jr. on the powerplay.

 

In the second, though, the momentum would change as we saw without hesitation the world start the second with a goal just a few minutes in and not long after take the lead with another. after being successful on the advantage, they continued to shoot more and more, eventually drawing another penalty, but it wouldn't go the way they wanted, usa's gul dukat finds a way to score shorthanded and ties the game 3-3 after two, mostly because of a stellar effort in the net by jon webber III who made 36 saves up to the point. two new names entered the box, and two previous offenders took another trip.

 

now in the third, we get a completely different story, witnessing a usa club walk around and finally find themselves in positions to score, taking any pressure off themselves. on the other end, it was jorgen lovstrom having to work a little more stopping 18 in the period. both teams score a tough angle shot but can't solve anything in the 60 minute frame given and head to overtime. benjamin abenduct gets his third minor, a bot, and another new name warms a spot in the penalty box, bringing the total to nine.

 

in the overtime period, it was clear both teams weren't prepared for the extra time, and both struggled to get into the opposing team's offensive zone. the only chance we really saw came after a bad penalty by felicia hardy in the middle of the frame, but thanks to solid defence, nothing was left to clean up in the extended time and she didn't have to enter an awkward locker room.

 

in the shootout, with so many shots, you'd expect the floodgate to finally open, but nope, the goaltenders continued to flash the leather for a few more shots, edging the shooter out of range. in the end, webber makes his 46th and 47th of 51 to win, and on the other side, lovstrom would be the one to finally fumble and lose but added his 45th of 50 making it impossible to blame him for the loss. this game had nine different goal scorers!
