Last night in Vancouver, the Womens hockey champion is Canada with a 2-0 win over the USA."We had to stay sharp," said Davidson, the first coach in Olympic history to win back-to-back championships. "We were winning 18-0 and 13-1." Marie-Philip Poulin scored both goals for Canada in the victory. And both of those goals were in the first period.
"We weren't afraid of blocking shots," Vaillancourt said, "and we knew that's what we had to do on five-on-threes." The Americans entered the game as the two-time world champions and the No. 1 ranked team in the world, but they received a lesson in winning from the home team. The Canadians were excellent across the board, and kept their arch-rivals off the top step of the podium - a place the U.S. has not been since the 1998 Nagano Games.This one takes the cake," said veteran defenceman Becky Kellar, who has played in all four women's Olympic tournaments. "We've been on the ice so much this year. We played 60 games, and we practised every situation that could be thrown at us. We were prepared for everything."
