Canada heard their Swedish goal song from ABBA on repeat during the quarterfinals ousting Sweden to their own tune 5-1: thehockeynews.com/womens/interna…

Swedish coach Ulf Lundberg on the blown goal call in the third period against Canada.

'The whistle goes too fast...it was a mistake from them. I take responsibility for what my team do, the referees have to take responsibility for their calls.'

Canada heard their Swedish goal song from ABBA on repeat during the quarterfinals ousting Sweden to their own tune 5-1. Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! thehockeynews.com/womens/interna… The Hockey News

The IIHF's system is broken at the #WomensWorlds . Sweden was a markedly better team top to bottom than Switzerland at this event, but they'll stay below them in the standings without a chance in a placement game.

The impact of uprooting a franchise without warning spans far beyond billionaire and millionaire concerns. It impacts young kids who are dreaming about the game too.

Canada needed that insurance goal from Fast. 3-1 now. Too much going through Maschmeyer who looks off to feel comfortable without that goal.

Canada just scored their first goal against Sweden in the 2024 #WomensWorlds and on comes Swedish band ABBA's Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! as Canada's goal song.

Here's the story behind the goal song: thehockeynews.com/womens/interna…

It may have ended in elimination, but Germany benefitted from Sandra Abstreiter's #PWHL experience, and PWHL Ottawa will benefit as well, getting back a sharper netminder to pair with Mashmeyer on the stretch run: thehockeynews.com/womens/interna…

While it might get overlooked from time to time, Klara Hymlarova is not only a great player, she's a locker room riot loved by her teammates. She'll be a high #PWHL selection this year.

It's hard to love a move to Salt Lake City when Utah ranks last in so many key markers for women's equity.

What a game. Czechia barely survives Germany in the quarterfinals and will have the chance to play for a third straight medal at the #WomensWorlds thehockeynews.com/womens/interna…

What a goal from Daniela Pejsova. Let me tell you, if she slides out of the top 10 of the PWHL Draft, there will be teams kicking themselves for years.

1-0 Czechia over Germany.

0-0 Czechia vs. Germany heading to the 3rd.

Carla MacLeod thought bubble - 'Probably should have played Abstreiter more'

Sandra Abstreiter thought bubble - 'I'll prove you should have played me more'

Klara Peslarova thought bubble - 'I'll prove I should take Abstreiter's job'

I've been so impressed by Laura Kluge in this tournament. If a PWHL team is looking for a player who can actually take on a role in the bottom six, she would be an incredible fit as a defensively responsible checker with upside and size thehockeynews.com/womens/interna…

Stylistically, Germany and Czechia play a very similar game, which is why we're seeing this deadlocked action. #WomensWorlds

Czechia has more talent, but they've always lacked a game breaker, and the two Czech players who fit that aren't playing.

This tournament was a massive struggle for Switzerland, who lacks depth, lost competitiveness across the board this year, and faces a long path back to becoming a regular medal contender: thehockeynews.com/womens/interna… #WomensWorlds The Hockey News

NCAA star and now #WomensWorlds star for Sweden. According to Josefin Bouveng, her breakout started in Minnesota thehockeynews.com/womens/interna…

Ivana Wey is one of the most skilled young players in the #WomensWorlds . She had not one...but two Michigan goals...this season.

Here's my chat with Wey: thehockeynews.com/womens/interna…

She's USA's third goalie, but Gwyneth Philips may be one of the only netminders on the planet capable of cracking a #PWHL lineup next season, a challenge she's ready to face.
