Olympics hockey semifinals: Team USA dominates Sweden, will play for gold against Canada
MILAN — Eleven minutes into their team’s semifinal clash against the juggernaut U.S. women’s hockey team, Swedish fans inside Santagiulia Arena roared with approval.
A goal? Sustained pressure? A power play? Nope. The Swedes had just finally registered their first shot on goal.
Sweden did manage to fire more pucks in the direction of the American net over the course of Monday’s lopsided semifinal, but the Swedes didn’t come any closer to challenging the U.S. than any other opponent in Milan has. Five different American players scored and goaltender Aerin Frankel recorded her team’s fifth consecutive shutout as the U.S. thrashed Sweden 5-0 to advance to Thursday’s 1:10 p.m. ET gold-medal match against Canada.
