Go Canada go!!
QuoteSOCHI, RUSSIA - Caroline Ouellette warned that Finland would be hard to beat — and Monday's hard-fought victory proved the Canadian women's hockey captain right.



While critics of the sport still insist the competition is really just a two-team battle between Canada and the U.S., Finland gave Ouellette's squad a serious scare before losing 3-0 at the Sochi Games.



Finnish goalie Noora Raty held Canada in check for more than 40 minutes until Meghan Agosta-Marciano scored 9:47 into the third period. Jayna Hefford and Rebecca Johnston scored, too, to seal the win.



But earlier in the game, each shot Raty stopped instilled more confidence in her teammates. Midway through the third period, it almost appeared Canada could lose its first-ever Olympic game against a team other than the U.S.



Given that the future of Olympic women's hockey could be in jeopardy, the challenge was welcome.



"They have really improved. This is no longer a team to be taken lightly," Agosta-Marciano said of the Finns.



Her teammates echoed that statement.



"They are robust and they play a very tight game," said Ouellette. "We have to congratulate them. They've come so far this year."



Canada registered 42 shots on Raty in the win. Shannon Szabados made 14 saves to give Canada its second straight shutout to open the tournament.



The Canadians had to find a way to break the Finnish fortress.



"We knew we had to be patient and constantly attack," said Agosta-Marciano. "Despite the many stops and missed opportunities, we did not let our frustrations get the better of us."



Finland won bronze at the 2010 Games in Vancouver.



The round-robin wraps up Wednesday with Canada facing the U.S., before the medal round gets under way. The Americans thumped Switzerland 9-0 on Monday.

I dont watch womens hockey because you cant see them delivering knuckle sandwiches on each other.. Or rammed through the side of the rink.

Body checking isn't allowed in women's hockey, but it's still pretty rough and tough. The Finns played well with that classic Finnish 'in your face as soon as you have the puck' style. No body checking, but it sure wasn't easy.



Come on. It's women and hockey! Check it out!

I wished I had seen that game. I get more into hockey during the Olympics than the Stanley Cup playoffs.

I´m not a racist... I´m a nazi.



I want to destroy the silent racism. Silent racism just gives the pussies the position of power.

I think the women , being more caring by nature, went easy on the Fins .... instead of just plain Finishing them off

That's sporting considering how soft and weak Finns(especially the guys) are known to be. ;)

You see niggers are the most lowest human beings on earth and every woman feel themselves goddessess with them.



Just how it is.
