Canada trucks Sweden to advance to Beijing Olympics women's hockey semifinal

It was a breeze for Canada in the first leg of the knockout phase of the Beijing Olympics.

Brianne Jenner and Sarah Fillier each scored hat tricks, while Marie Philip Poulin and Sarah Nurse had four assists, as Canada thumped Sweden 11-0 to advance to the semifinal at the 2022 Winter Games.

A bit of a surprise starter, Emerance Maschmeyer made 11 stops to record her second victory in as many starts at the tournament. It's expected that Ann-Renee Desbiens will be back in the net for the semifinal.

Here are the important details from the win.
