The one-on-one showdown is right in the decorated Canadian goaltender's wheelhouse.
Desbiens made a crucial save in overtime and six more in the shootout before Jamie Lee Rattray won it in the ninth round as Canada survived a blown 3-1 lead late in regulation to beat the United States 4-3 in the final preliminary round game for both teams at the women's world hockey championship Monday."We've always found different ways to win. Today was a new way.
But Amanda Kessel then added an improbable equalizer for the Americans with 3.4 seconds left on the clock following a chaotic scramble to further stun the crowd and force overtime. Sarah Fillier, with a goal and an assist, and Marie-Philip Poulin also scored in regulation for Canada."Big-game player," Ryan said of his goaltender, who turned 29 on Monday. "She gets to celebrate a nice win."
"We're so young. There's got to be belief in that room that they can play with them and someday hopefully be able to beat them. Hopefully that's Sunday when we earn our way to the gold-medal game." "Bit of a weird end to the game," Fillier said. "We got into every special situation we could have. But it's good experience for us."
