Not that it matters, but if a Jet does that to anyone in an NHL game, they are calling a penalty shot. Now I'll add the obvious, if that exact play happens to Evander Kane and he's brought down in this manner, there's a 60% there won't be a penalty at all.

Also, I usually don't like to blame officiating but in what universe is this a slash cross check? Trip I could see...but a cross check? Knight never touched Wickenheiser. That was holding. As the US player is going down you can see her pull down Hailey with her free hand. Watch Haileys jersey, it gets tugged on and she falls. IMHO it's a penalty shot. Fine result either way...

Actually, I'm wrong.
It's the old kick the skate trick, with a bit of a tug for good measure. Tricky...

Congrats on winning a tournament only two countries are any good in. I'll give more credit to the Swiss on their bronze. Schelling may be the best goalie in women's hockey now, especially with Noora retiring. Amazing performance and well-deserved MVP you'll give more credit to a 3rd place finish than a gold? Give your head a shake! Considering any competent human being knew that the final was going to be Canada/USA...yes, yes I will give the Swiss more credit.

Part of the problem is there's nowhere to play. Look at Noora Raty, she had to retire cause she couldn't train AND make a living at once. And you can bring up the CWHL and WWHL....but if you were a European, would you uproot you and your family to play in a league that unstable? EDIT: Here's Raty's letter.

I would like to thank Ron Burgundy. Clearly, his presence at the Roar of the Rings inspired our curlers to Olympic Gold!
