Flyers Help Rout Russkies

The Flyers were central to Canada's rout of Commie Russia last night in the Olympic hockey medal round.

So says the Toronto Globe:

[Mike] Richards was equally effective, hounding Malkin, a frequent NHL adversary in the Pittsburgh Penguins-Philadelphia Flyers' rivalry. Richards' play, to strip Malkin of the puck just inside the Russian blue line with Canada holding a 2-0 first-period lead, may have been the turning point in the game. Richards moved the puck up to Toews on a quick transitional play, who then found Nash breaking into the clear.
