The women’s Olympic hockey tournament in Beijing is slowly getting to its final phase. The quarterfinals started yesterday with two games including teams from USA and Canada.
Team USA opened the playoff stage with a game against Czech Republic. Despite a difference in a talent, the Czechs kept in a game until the end of the second period, mostly because of the goaltender Klara Peslarova, who faced 30 shots during that time. The Czechs even managed to open the scoring in that game, thanks to a Michaela Pejzlová goal in the second period, but Hilary Knight quickly tied the game.
