Jocelyne Lamoureux scores in the sixth round of the shootout to win gold for the U.S. against Canada
After winning back-to-back gold medals in Vancouver in 2010 and Sochi in 2014, and three of the past four dating to 2002, Canada's self-described band of journeymen will play the Czech Republic for bronze on Saturday.
Canada has settled for a bronze medal only twice in 21 previous Olympic tournaments and took home gold or silver in each of the six Games with womens hockey.
"It's unreal to get to play for gold", German defenseman Frank Hordler said.
Losing to Germany guaranteed none will be in hockey.
"A lot of guys have scars today", Canadian forward Maxim Noreau said.
To add insult to injury, one of the Germany's goalscorers, Brooks Macek, grew up in Winnipeg, Canada but now also holds German citizenship.
Larocque, who was upset her team didn't win gold, was criticized when she refused to wear her medal during the ceremony after a dramatic penalty shootout defeat in Pyeongchang on Thursday.

Florida teacher: Trump deserves 'detention' for his response to shooting
Trump's call to restrict bump stocks like the ones used in last year's Las Vegas massacre triggered outrage among gun owners. The Department of Education estimates there are 3.1 million public school teachers and 400,000 private-school teachers.

The latest whispers suggest the dual camera system will be comprised of a 13MP main shooter and 12MP secondary lens. The report does point out that the device might not make its way to China as the number is considered unlucky.
Russia, which has run roughshod over opponents since a lackadaisical 3-2 loss to Slovakia, beat the Czech Republic in the other semifinal earlier Friday.
But the Canadians fell one goal short despite peppering German goaltender Danny Aus den Birken with a barrage of shots. Mat Robinson's goal at 2:42 of third period, on a pretty 2-on-1 pass from Christian Thomas, made it a two-goal game and 39 seconds later Kevin Poulin stopped Dominik Kahun on a generously awarded penalty shot.
Canada outshot Germany 15-1 in the third period but couldn't climb all the way back after digging a deep hole.
"Disappointed, for sure", coach Willie Desjardins said. "It was tough. They scored their chances".
But three seconds after an Eric O'Dell penalty at 12:28, a Plachta point shot was deflected in front by Hager to restore the three-goal German advantage. Germany last medaled in 1976, and has never won gold. He was given a game misconduct for this hit to the head of Germany's David Wolf. Before that, the Soviet Union team had been 4-0 against West Germany on Olympic ice. There weren't many answers for what happened to the team that had looked dominant against Finland.
"We have nothing to lose", Germany captain Marcel Goc said. We're not the most skilled team, but we're just a bunch of guys sticking together on the ice and off the ice, too.
"We've got to change I think nothing and rest up tomorrow for Sunday".
