Olympia: Recordor contactor Poulin leads Canada's ice hockey

With her sixth and seventh gate in an Olympic final, Marie-Philip Poulin has returned to gold in Beijing. The captain met twice at the 3-2 (2: 0, 1: 1, 0: 1) in the duel with the archrival US and thus continued their record series: in the fourth final sucked in succession "Captain Clutch" the puck in the goal - a brand which is unmatched in women and men.

The reward was Poulin's third gold medal and the successful revenge for the 2-3 defeat in 2018 in Pyeongchang against the Americans after penalty shooting. The first goal for the total fifth triumph for the record-olympic champions from the Hockey motherland scored Sarah Nurse (8.) in front of Poulins Double Pack (16./30.). The eight-time world champion Hilary Knight (37.) and Amanda Kessel 13 seconds shortened for the US team.

"It feels great. It's a salvation," said Poulin after the victory against the eternal rival US. With her third gold around his neck and maple flag over the shoulders, Poulin celebrated long after the award ceremony on the ice.

The sixth Olympiafinal of the two dominant teams, which also disputed 19 out of 20 World Cup Endames, was the usual hard-tacked duel at eye level. Even if the Canadians not only won in the preliminary round 4: 2 against the arch rivals, but with 54 goals in the six games had previously shot the competition in the ground and floor, four times even double-digit.

After a post-shot of the American Hannah Brandt (3.) Natalie Spooner scored the supposed lead for Canada. US coach Joel Johnson demanded the video proof, the hit was withdrawn because of offside (8.). 54 seconds later, the puck was again in the American gate, this time was the Canadian leadership.
