Goals by Blackhawk Captain and Canada's Alternate Captain Jonathan Toews dba "Captain Serious" and Chris Kunitz and "Sid the Kid" Crosby of the Pens sealed the deal. Toews struck in the 1st period off of a redirect for the only score in the first frame. Canada's Captain "Sid the Kid" gets a breakaway backhand in the 2nd frame to make it 2-0. Then ion the third frame with the Swedes being careless at their Blue Line Pens Chris Kunitz make them pay with a Wrister to make it 309 to cap the scoring for the game.
For Toews and Crosby they "Lit the Lamp" for their first goals of the 2K14 Olympics as was Kunitz Goal. Montreal Canadians Net Minder Carey Price recorded his 2nd shutout of the Olympics stopping all 24 shots by Sweden. The Blue Shirts Henrik Lundqvist stopped 33 of 36 shots but wasn't as sharp as he has been in previous outings especially in the Semis vs Finland. The Swedes unfortunately played without the Henrik's (Sedin and Zetterberg both Injured didn't make the Trip) and Niklas Backstrom was a late scratch and the Top Three Centers on the Swedes wee out...that was a huge.
As for now the Top Country in the World in Hockey is Canada as they will try to go for Three-Peat in 2018 and before that there will be four more Lord Stanley Cup Winners...imagine that!
Congrats to Team Canada and Lead Man Mike Babcock and Staff as both Hockey Gold's reside "North of the Border"...
