Playing Finland, a team that Canada was 20-0 lifetime against in the world championship and had never lost to internationally, should have been a breeze. While Noora Raty stopped 33 of 36 shots, it was Finland — not Canada — dictating the tempo and applying the pressure. “Finland played outstanding,” said Team Canada head coach Laura Schuler. But at the start of the second period, Finland scored again to go up 2-1 when Susanna Tapani’s wrist shot snuck underneath goalie Emerance Maschmeyer’s arm. But less than two minutes after, Finland scored its third goal on 12 shots, this one by Petra Nieminen.
