Between The Pipes
![]() Let's take a look at tonight's starting goaltenders. For Team World, Emiko Spector @"MantoRune" steps between the pipes wearing the red and white jerseys. Spector -- whose international playing future with Japan is in doubt after she expressed her desire to play for another international federation this past offseason -- has been a backstop for Team World throughout the tournament, posting a 9-4-1 record with a 2.97 GAA. She was shelled in her last start against the British Isles, who defeated Team World 5-3 to move on to the gold medal game. For UCORCAL, Knox Booth @"Tate" will hold down the fort as he tries to help bring home the first medal in UCORCAL history. Booth -- who was, oddly enough, born in Canada -- was 8-4-1 in the exhibition round with a 3.27 GAA. Like Spector, he is also coming off of a five-goal-against performance in the semifinal game against DACH (that's Austria, Germany, and Switzerland for those who aren't in the know). Both goalies with something to prove and something they're looking to forget! One of them will replace the pain of the semifinal defeat with a shiny new bronze medal to share with their teammates tonight. ![]() Special thanks to @"Sleepy" for the signature
