ESPOO, Finland — Canada won’t play for gold at the women’s world hockey championship for the first time in tournament history. “It’s something we actually have earned.”The U.S. and Canada had met in the final of all 18 previous world championship finals dating back to the first in 1990. We’ll give credit to Finland for a game well played.”Canada was without captain Marie-Philip Poulin for all but part of one period at the world championship. Finland scored its first two goals on the power play and the first three were generated off shots from the point. The Finns scored on their lone power-play chance in the first period to pull even 1-1.
