This U.S. team was a freight train running through the Olympic Games with a blend of experienced vets like the five time Olympian Hillary Knight and thrilling young talent like the 22 year old phenom Layla Edwards. But Canada, the traditional women's hockey power, took the US to the brink. A rare defensive lapse by Edwards in the second period gave Canada a window to score a short handed goal to go up 1 0. Later with 2 minutes left in regulation, she made amends with a rocket of a shot that night, tipped up and in for the equalizer.
Hillary Knight (1:58)
Great patience and poised with the puck. And then as soon as it was going over to Layla, I was like I better get in front of that net.
