BEIJING (Reuters) - Young gun Sarah Fillier fired a pair of goals as Canada romped to an 11-1 rout of Finland in women's ice hockey at the Beijing Olympics on Saturday, to remain on a gold medal collision course with United States.
Canada opened their Olympic account on Thursday with an equally ruthless 12-1 thrashing of Switzerland and again showed no mercy to the third-ranked Finns as they stormed to the top of the Group A standings outscoring their opponents 23-to-2.
