In earlier action, Finland beat Switzerland by a margin greater than Canada or the USA managed, showing that two out of three of the top teams are trying to peak late, not early. In the late game, Japan beat Germany 2-1, taking second and third place in Group B. Canada now finishes first in Group A and will play Germany in the quarterfinals, while the USA finishes second and plays Japan. Finland is third and will play Czechia, the winner of Group B, while Russia and Switzerland play off in quarterfinal number four. Those quarters are on Saturday with the semis on Monday and the medal games on Tuesday. What’s that you say? That seems odd? Why, yes, yes it does, and yet the IIHF feels that’s how the women’s event should be scheduled. Here’s some fun goals to get you started on a proper August Friday of hard work: > Summer hockey = time for chip shots! ⛳️[#WomensWorlds](https://twitter.com/hashtag/WomensWorlds?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) | [#OurGameIsBack](https://twitter.com/hashtag/OurGameIsBack?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) | [@RenataFast](https://twitter.com/RenataFast?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [pic.twitter.com/7oEDUqA9Ms](https://t.co/7oEDUqA9Ms?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Hockey Canada (@HockeyCanada) [August 26, 2021](https://twitter.com/HockeyCanada/status/1431022333813170180?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > No mistake! 🇨🇦[#WomensWorlds](https://twitter.com/hashtag/WomensWorlds?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) | [#OurGameIsBack](https://twitter.com/hashtag/OurGameIsBack?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) | [@ratt26](https://twitter.com/ratt26?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [pic.twitter.com/QbnqHsDJnm](https://t.co/QbnqHsDJnm?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Hockey Canada (@HockeyCanada) [August 26, 2021](https://twitter.com/HockeyCanada/status/1431030833582731272?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > That's 2⃣ for 4⃣7⃣![#WomensWorlds](https://twitter.com/hashtag/WomensWorlds?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) | [#OurGameIsBack](https://twitter.com/hashtag/OurGameIsBack?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) | [@ratt26](https://twitter.com/ratt26?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [pic.twitter.com/BSLad2cDIX](https://t.co/BSLad2cDIX?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Hockey Canada (@HockeyCanada) [August 26, 2021](https://twitter.com/HockeyCanada/status/1431032347126747136?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯[#WomensWorlds](https://twitter.com/hashtag/WomensWorlds?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) | [#OurGameIsBack](https://twitter.com/hashtag/OurGameIsBack?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) | [@nursey16](https://twitter.com/nursey16?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [pic.twitter.com/oi10zKVS4B](https://t.co/oi10zKVS4B?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — Hockey Canada (@HockeyCanada) [August 26, 2021](https://twitter.com/HockeyCanada/status/1431034493712822272?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > That face you make when you find out your goal counts.[@nursey16](https://twitter.com/nursey16?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com)'s top corner goal lands [@HockeyCanada](https://twitter.com/HockeyCanada?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) a 5-0 lead over [@usahockey](https://twitter.com/usahockey?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [#WomensWorlds](https://twitter.com/hashtag/WomensWorlds?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) [pic.twitter.com/MEQwOyOKPF](https://t.co/MEQwOyOKPF?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > > — IIHF (@IIHFHockey) [August 26, 2021](https://twitter.com/IIHFHockey/status/1431037195503144970?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) > That puck had eyes!

I don’t think it’s geoblocked in Canada. Dmitri Ovchinnikov is playing for Russia in a U20 four nations event, and the Russian games are available for the dedicated on [Russia Hockey’s Youtube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkXhExhsct40TYZsj4YZR0w?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). Happy Friday, everyone. The next instalment of the T25 will be out today as well.
