""I laugh actually because Poulin scores on the 5-on-3, and she shot it right over Hilary's foot," Pannek said. "Hilary took that personally, and then scored three goals and won us that game.""
""Yeah, I was pissed," she said, laughing."
Kelly Pannek has observed a decade-long rivalry between Hilary Knight and Marie-Philip Poulin characterized by intense on-ice gamesmanship and clutch performances. The players are playful off the ice but respond to competitive moments with heightened focus and determination. Poulin scored on a 5-on-3 at the 2023 world championships, prompting Knight to take it personally and reply with a three-goal effort that secured a 6-3 U.S. victory. The rivalry spans roughly 17 years and more than 100 international games, features contrasting backgrounds, and will continue in Milan with potential for another gold-medal confrontation.
