After defeating the Swiss 5-0 while putting up an 80.67% Corsi, the Canadian women are looking to do the same to Finland. Hayley Wickenheiser will once again lead Team Canada into battle, as the 35 year old veteran continues to dominate at the highest level.

The American team put up 9 goals against Switzerland this morning, so expect Canada to try increase the effort level in order to ensure that the Americans don't run away with first place in the group.

These games are that competitive, but the game against Switzerland was very physical and the pace was better than I've seen at any previous Olympics for women's hockey. This sport has come a long way and it seems like we're on the verge of it becoming entertaining in every game, not just for Canada vs USA.

The game begins at 10am EST on CBC, and you can stream it live here. It is also available for online streaming here, in French.
