Copp that!

Late strike gives USA tight win over Latvia

ARX16487_Channel%20Homepage%20Slider.jpg

 

Team USA claimed another fightback win here in Cologne, coming from 0-2 and 1-3 to edge out Latvia in the final four minutes of play.

 

When Latvia meets the USA in World Championship action, sparks can fly. The previous meeting between the teams at this level came in Minsk in 2014, with Latvia edging the verdict by the odd goal in 11. Today in Cologne the two teams were wild once again, sharing eight goals in another frenetic battle that ended with the USA taking a big step towards securing a quarter-final spot.

 

With barely three minutes to play and the scores locked at 3-3, Andrew Copp came up with the game-winner, streaking from his own zone to make a rendezvous with Latvian goalie Elvis Merzlikins and wiring a wrister that looped off the netminder’s shoulder and dropped in.

 

Latvia, which had never been behind until that moment, threw everything forward in search of an equalizer, only to be hit by an empty-netter from Dylan Larkin that sealed the 5-3 outcome.

 

"It was a huge win given the early adversity," Copp said. "They played really hard especially those first two periods. We needed to get our legs under us a little bit and get into intensity mode. It was important for us to handle that adversity and inch back in the second and battle throughout the third."

 

Defeat was hard on a Latvian team that continues to impress here in Germany. Knowing that success today would go a long way toward booking a place in the last eight for the first time since 2009, Bob Hartley’s players tore out of the blocks. The early pressure was all around Connor Hellebuyck’s net. Kaspars Daugavins tested the goalie in the third minute, collecting an Andris Dzerins feed in front of the net only to find Hellebuyck’s glove.

 

The pressure continued, and the opening goal duly arrived in the 12th minute. Teodors Blugers, one of a cohort of youngsters drafted onto the roster by Hartley since he took over the head coach’s role, claimed his first ever senior international marker with a close-range finish off a sizzling feed from Maris Bicevskis.

 

Blugers, who admitted he wasn't sure what had happened to the puck he shot past Hellebuyck, had mixed feelings about his afternoon.

 

"I feel like we played a pretty good game - especially our first period - but we had a couple defensive breakdowns that cost us," he said.

 

"That last goal was a little bit of a bad bounce when we needed to hold on a few minutes longer.

 

"They're obviously a lot more skilled but I felt that overall we defended pretty well. We did our jobs decently well, but not quite well enough."

 

The Latvians had even more cause for excitement at the start of the third. Seizing possession from the face-off, Roberts Bukarts advanced deep into US territory before feeding Dzerins on the point. Daugavins despatched the puck from close range, and that was 2-0.

 

At last, the Americans began to respond. TJ Compher grabbed his second of the tournament when he redirected an Anders Lee feed just inside Merzlikins’ near post. The one-goal margin lasted two-and-a-half minutes before Oskars Cibulskis got to the rebound from a Miks Indrasis shot and made it 3-1.

 

With the game just beyond its midway point, Latvia looked to have a measure of control. But that evaporated as team USA hauled itself level before the second intermission. First, amid a shooting gallery in front of Merzlinkin’s net, Nick Bjugstad fired home after Nick Schmaltz was denied by the pads. Then, seconds after Roberts Buckarts dinged the bar at the other end, Johnny Gaudreau roofed a loose puck after Jason Trouba wreaked havoc on the wraparound.

 

"We came back against Sweden too," added Copp. "The mental makeup of this team is good. We know we can come back against anybody. Having that confidence when we are down like we were 3-1 today and come back and win will take us a long way in this tournament."

 

The third period continued to produce breathless action, although Merzlikins was now the busier of the two goalies. Latvia’s first choice shotstopper came up with big saves to deny Schmaltz and Clayton Keller, while Hellebuyck mostly dealt with breakaway chances. Finally Copp came up with the decisive breakthrough, lifting the Americans to a fourth victory from five games and tightening their grip on a top-four finish in Group A.

 

Latvia, with three wins already, has realistic hopes of joining the USA there. "That's the goal," said Blugers. "There are teams that are more skilled than us but we can stick together, play with energy and out-work other teams. We haven't made it yet, we have two big games to go, but we'll be ready for them."

Finns edge Norway in OT

Finland ekes out second straight win

ZA6_9792_Channel%20Homepage%20Slider.jpg

 

Markus Hannikainen scored at 1:55 of overtime to give Finland a 3-2 win over Norway on Saturday.

 

The Columbus Blue Jackets forward came out of the penalty box after serving a minor penalty for defenceman Atte Ohtamaa, who had taken two minutes plus a 10-minute misconduct for checking to the head at the end of regulation time. Hannikainen took a breakaway pass from Mika Pyorala and went top corner as the Finnish fans packing the AccorHotels Arena rejoiced. 

It's been an iffy start to this tournament for Finland. This was their second consecutive victory after beating Slovenia 5-2, but they squandered a chance at three points by allowing Norway's tying goal with less than a minute left.

"I think we had enough scoring opportunities but we didn’t score enough," said Sebastian Aho. "We had a lot of chances to make it 3-1 but the goalie played well and their defence was good. We played well, and we got the win, which is the most important thing."

 

In regulation time, Juuso Hietanen and Julius Honka scored for Finland. Anders Bastiansen and Andreas Martinesen replied for Norway.

"I think we played a pretty good game," said Bastiansen. "If you had said to me before the game that we’d be 2-2 with Finland after three periods, I think we would have taken it."

 

Finland's Joonas Korpisalo won the goaltending battle with Norway's Lars Haugen. Shots on goal favored Finland 28-21.

A Finnish sign in the crowd read, "Noo, alkaako pannu porisemaan?" ("So, is the pot going to start bubbling?"). That might have been an allusion to the cauldron in which the druid Getafix brews magic potion in the Asterix comics. It definitely reflected the impatience of Finnish fans with their team's early results in Paris. 

 

The Norwegians came out aggressively and had the better of the early play. Finland fought back with heavy pressure during their first power play with Patrick Thoresen off for interference, but couldn’t capitalize. Norway, however, broke through on their opening man advantage with 1:22 left in the first. Bastiansen skated to the net and deftly tipped Mattias Norstebo’s shot from the blue line past Korpisalo.

"I saw Norstebo got the puck on top and he shot it," said Bastiansen. "I just tried to get my stick on it, and I was lucky enough to get a touch on it and it went between the goalie’s legs."

 

Finland dominated the second period with a 12-3 edge in shots. At 5:33, Hietanen tied it up, just six seconds into a power play. Standing on the goal line to Haugen’s right, he scored five-hole on a bad-angle shot. It was one the goaltender would like to have had back.

At 8:11, Honka made it 2-1 with his high stick-side blast after the Finns won an offensive zone faceoff. It was the Dallas Stars defenceman’s first Worlds goal ever.

In the third period, Haugen kept it a one-goal game with under six minutes left when he made a slick glove save on Aho off the rush. The goalie came out for the extra attacker in the dying moments, and the Norwegians cashed in. Martinsen barged to the net after a faceoff in Finland's zone and stuffed the puck home with 29 seconds left. The Finns were stunned, but they'd kill off Ohtamaa's subsequent penalty and win it in extra time.

"It was a tough bounce for us, their last goal," said Aho. "But we played well on the penalty kill after that, and Hannikainen got a big goal for us."

"I think a couple of hours from now we’ll be satisfied that we got one point," said Bastiansen.

 

The Finnish team wore black armbands to mark the passing of popular former Finnish president Mauno Koivisto. He served as president from 1982 to 1994, and died in Helsinki on Friday at age 93.

Facing Switzerland on Sunday, Finland will try to make it three straight wins. Norway's next game is Monday against defending champion Canada.

 

Norway has never defeated Finland in 19 tries at the Worlds, dating back to 1949. It tied the Finns twice, 3-3 in 1990 and 1-1 in 1996, and lost 3-2 in overtime in 2008.
