Botterill didn’t think her goals of this variety had been anything spectacular, but rather the result of her coordination building as the game progresses.
Against Sweden, Botterill turned what had been a close game in the first period into an 11-0 Canada blowout. She scored two of the first three Canadian goals to spark the romp.
Had it not been for Botterill, Saturday night’s Canada-Sweden game might have been vastly different. Her first goal proved to be all Canada would need as it went into the first intermission leading 1-0. But it was Botterill’s second goal�...
That goal came on the kind of play that only Botterill can make with consistency. As Canadian defenseman Geraldine Heaney took a high slap shot from the point, Botterill rose her stick to eye-level and redirected the puck accurately down through the legs of Swedish goaltender Annica Ahlen.
Botterill had scored a goal just like that one in Canada’s 7-0 win over Russia, but this one was from even further outside the crease.
