Noooo I didn't want it to be between Sweden and Finland for the 5th place and stay in the A-world cup 😭 but of fucking course we ended up having to play each other like the Magda vs Pernille last decisive qualifier in the group for the 2019 world cup 😂
We actually did way way better against Canada than I'd thought. What an incredible match with a last seconds 2-2 equaliser forcing Canada into overtime sudden death. We haven't been close to make them nervy in a very very VERY long time in a championship. To play like this against Canada on their home turf is an incredible feat. I feel like our ice hockey wnt is on the up again after years down in the dumps
Finland has gone downhill past few years with womens ice hockey... Sad to see that. 🫠

The Metropolitan Riveters have signed Finnish forward Susanna Tapani to a one year deal for the 2023–24 PHF season
"Susanna will be a difference maker in the PHF," said Rivs head coach Venla Hovi. "She is an experienced Finnish Olympian and one of the best forwards in the world. Suski is an offensive threat due to her ability to make plays and her speed makes her tough to handle on rushes. She will lead the team by example and her humble, calm presence will be an asset for us in the locker room."
