Olympics-ice hockey-Canada blank Czech Republic, Switzerland cruise by France in Milan men's openers
By Amy Tennery MILAN, Feb 12 (Reuters) - Canada got off to a perfect start to their Olympic men's ice hockey campaign with a confident 5-0 win over the Czech Republic on Thursday, as Switzerland cruised past France 4-0.
Canada dominated Czech Republic 5-1 to remain unbeaten in the women’s hockey tournament at the Milan Cortina Games. However, Canada lost its captain Marie-Philip Poulin after taking a hard hit in the first period. She briefly returned to the bench at the end of the first frame, before exiting the game entirely.
As you probably know, Sidney Crosby was injured. Canada’s captain, who was tackled by Radko Gudas in the second period, tried to stay in the game, but quickly made his way to the locker room.
