Canadian Ladies Running Up The Score

[statsman]

A member of the US ladies hockey team at Turin has stated that she doesn't like the way the Canadian ladies are running up the score against their opponents. She feels its unsportsmanlike.

In their 3 preliminary games Canada won 16-0 vs Italy, 6-2 vs Sweden and I forget the other big score.

I guess no one informed her that in case of a tie at the end of the tournament the first tie-breaker is goal differnce.

I also assume that we are to overlook the US ladies beating Japan two weeks ago 12-1.

Or perhaps Gretzky and friends asked them to do everything they can to beat the point spread...
