Hockey Twitter freaks out over Marie-Philip Poulin’s World Championship-winning goal
By Scott Rogust
Canada won the 2021 IIHF World Women’s Championship on Tuesday thanks to an amazing overtime goal from Marie-Philip Poulin.
Canada had last won the IIHF World Women’s Championship in 2012, and have watched the United States win it every year afterwards. Less than 10 years later, Canada can call themselves champions, thanks to Marie-Philip Poulin.
On Tuesday, Canada and the United States carried a 2-2 tie into overtime. Less than eight minutes in extra regulation, Poulin took a center ice pass from Brianne Jenner, skated into the United State’s zone and unleashed a wicked bar down goal to give Canada the 3-2 victory.

After seeing this incredible goal from Poulin, hockey Twitter collectively lost their minds.
With shades of Patrick Kane and Sidney Crosby in the Olympics, Poulin now enters her name in the Canadian hockey record books.

Marie-Philip Poulin scores, but play continues after the buzzer doesn't sound initially. It's in fact the golden goal for Team Canada, and she damn well knew it #WomensWorlds pic.twitter.com/3iPcKaKB4A
