One of  the strongest Canadian women’s hockey teams ever assembled , defeated the Finnish team 5-0 Monday to produce the final everyone in the hockey world had anticipated.
Canada and the U.S., will play for gold on Thursday. The Americans won over Sweden 9-1.
The US team believes that the Canadians will struggle with the pressure of going for gold on their own ice.
“I do know how much pressure is going to be on their shoulders,” U.S. defenceman Angela Ruggiero said, recalling how her team lost the gold to Canada at Salt Lake City in 2002.
“There’ll be tons of butterflies in their system. … I know what they have to deal with and it’s a lot.”
But once the puck is dropped to start the game the nerves will be replaced by their tremendous skills and determination.
Should be another great game between Canada and the USA!
