BEIJING — One of the consequences of having only a few spectators allowed to watch events like hockey at the Olympics is that those in the arena can hear everything.
That can be a good thing, as Team USA's emotion, energy and communication was audible throughout its 5-2 dominance of Finland in its opening game of the Beijing Winter Games. Kendall Coyne Schofield and Alex Carpenter pumped in two goals each to lead the cause.
It also meant that there was no way to not hear Brianna Decker scream and curse her first-period injury.
