Published

on

FRIBOURG, Switzerland (AP) — Canada scored five goals in the final period against Denmark and Sidney Crosby assisted on four of them in a 5-1 victory at the ice hockey world championship on Monday.

The Group B game in Fribourg was a rematch of last year’s quarterfinal when Denmark stunned star-studded Canada 2-1 and ended its quest for a 29th title.

This time Canada left it till late to translate its dominance into goals.

The Canadians needed 28 shots to break the deadlock despite Denmark goalie Nicolaj Henriksen playing his maiden game at the worlds.

Porter Martone scored the opener 28 seconds into the third period on a cross-goal pass by Crosby to put the favorite ahead.

Gabriel Vilardi doubled the advantage 3:02 into the frame and Denton Mateychuk buried a rebound 31 seconds later to make it 3-0 after Crosby set him up.

Ryan O’Reilly and Parker Wotherspoon finished the scoring with a goal each after Crosby found them unmarked in front of the net.

It was the third straight win for Canada after dispatching Sweden 5-3 and Italy 6-0.

US down again

It’s up and down for the defending champion United States at the worlds.

Lenni Hameenaho scored twice and assisted on another one to lead Finland past the U.S. 6-2 for a third straight win in Group A in Zurich.

The U.S. lost to host Switzerland 3-1 in the opener then defeated Britain 5-1.

Hameenaho wristed a shot past goalie Joseph Woll after a turnover to put Finland 1-0 up 6:06 into the game.

The U.S. came back 1:38 later thanks to Matt Coronato‘s one-timer.

Finland then pulled away with four straight goals.

Patrik Puistola and Aatu Raty scored in the first period followed in the middle period by Hameenaho on a power play and Saku Maenalanen 31 seconds apart.

That forced the U.S. to pull Woll, who allowed five goals from 10 shots, and send on Devin Cooley.

Ryan Leonard reduced the deficit with the second U.S. goal in the final period but Anton Lundell completed the victory.

The U.S. has Germany next on Wednesday.

Harry Kane reveals what Thomas Tuchel said to England players at half-time: ‘If we lose, we lose’

Published

on

Harry Kane revealed what England manager Thomas Tuchel said to his players at half-time of the World Cup win against Croatia on Wednesday.

England were pegged back twice in the first-half in Dallas, with Tuchel’s assistant Anthony Barry criticising the players in an interview with ITV at half-time, describing their display as “complicated and confusing.”

Yet the Three Lions came out in the second-half a team reinvigorated. Jude Bellingham put them back in front with a wonderful solo goal and Tuchel’s side could have been out of sight if it wasn’t for the brilliance of Croatia goalkeeper Dominik Livakovic.

But Marcus Rashford made sure of all three points with his well-taken goal five minutes from time and Kane, who went level with Gary Lineker as England’s all-time goalscorer at World Cups, explained that Tuchel told his players their philosophy must change.

“The manager gave a speech,” Kane said. “He just said: ‘If we lose, we lose, we lose in our way.’

“Without the ball, we went a bit more aggressive. In the second-half, we thought we just go. The intensity we went at, we have to do that more this tournament.

Asked if that was the framework for the rest of the World Cup, Kane said: “That second-half, for sure. Even the way we controlled the game, even when we went ahead, never looked like we were in danger.

“We had a spell there, first 20 minutes [of second-half] where we could have scored three or four. You can see the desire from Jude [Bellingham] in training, the competition we have in the place is high level, whoever plays is ready.”

Speaking to ITV after the game, Bellingham added: “The second-half especially, we showed what we were about, the team we want to be was shown. The first-half we were a bit nervy and cagey. But second-half was the platform.”

On Tuchel’s ‘speech’ at half-time, Bellingham said: “It wasn’t one of those where it was a big drama or shouting, it was just what the team needed. Everyone knew the level we needed to hit, the early goal gave us a good platform.

“Credit to the manager and his staff, they’ve put us the best place possible.”

Tuchel himself also spoke on what he told his players at the interval, saying: “I was sitting down with the players. I gave them quiet time for themselves, told them to calm down having just conceded a goal.

“To calm down, calm their nerves, and encourage them to do it our way.

“I told them that my perception of them and of the last 17 days, will not change with this result, no matter what the result is. But I want them to do it their way, our way.

“I want them to be brave, courageous, intense, and on the front foot, and do it together and just go for it, and try to take it, and be active.

“I encourage them with words, which was short, was calm and, yeah, if they say it helped, even better”.

England next face Ghana in Boston on Tuesday and a win will qualify Tuchel’s side for the knockout phase.

How to solve Shrine of Life #5 Ice Puzzle

Published

on

The Adventures of Elliot’s Shrine of Life #5 features one of the game’s more potentially frustrating puzzles: An Ice Puzzle. Your reward is great though, because it’s a Shard of Life. For each 4 Shards of Life you receive, you gain another point of health, similarly to how you would in The Legend of Zelda. The Shrine of Life puzzles vary, with some of them simply being enemy gauntlets, and others being tricky puzzles.

This one requires you to slip and slide around on the ice, and push blocks of ice into red switches, to claim the reward. If you’re struggling or simply want to know the solution to the Shrine of Life #5 in The Adventures of Elliot, here’s what you need to know.

Note: The video footage in this guide contains spoilers for The Adventures of Elliot.

It’s a very short cave, and it drops you right off at the Shrine of Life #5. It’s something you can pick up pretty early, as well.

We’ve labeled the ice cubes for The Adventures of Elliot’s Shrine of Life #5, with 1, 2, and 3, for easy navigation. Just follow the path below, and you’ll be able to secure your Shard of Life, and be ready to move on to other challenges and bosses. If you don’t want to slip around, I recommend buying the Expeardient Charm from the local shop, and equipping it.

Order of operations

  • Ice Cube #2: Push Right, Up, Right, Up, Lef t, Up, Left, Down
  • Ice Cube #1: Push Left, Up, Left, Down, Right, Down, Left, Up, Left, Up, Left, Down
  • Ice Cube #3: Push Down, Left
  • Ice Cube #1: Left, Down, Right, Up, Right, Up, Left
  • Ice Cube #3: Up, Left, Up, Right, Down

This isn’t likely the only solution to the Ice Cube Puzzle, but this is the solution we came up with, after venturing into the icy Shrine of Life. Once you’ve hit all four red switches, the door will open. Walk through, grab your reward, and you can move on with the game.
