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.
The youngest player on the Canadian team, Fillier made a spectacular Olympic debut collecting two goals and an assist in the Swiss demolition. "With every game we play, no matter who we're playing, we want to get up early and put a team on their heels," said Fillier. "All our lines gel really great and we have so much depth and skill and can get anyone to contribute from anywhere in the lineup."
But that would be as close as Finland would get, with Fillier restoring the two goal advantage early in the second half as Canada shifted into another gear.
