    There's the final buzzer, and it's a comfortable 6-0 victory for Canada against Austria! They were tipped to win with a big scoreline tonight and that's exactly how it turned out, with Jeff Carter grabbing a hat trick and Drew Doughty, Shea Weber and Ryan Getzlaf also getting on the scoreboard. Thanks for following the game with us, and see you tomorrow for more action from the 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi! (20:13:35)
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:51
    It's now the final new seconds of the game
     
    59:28
    Toews is found free skating towards the net, but from the top of the crease he can't even hit the target!
     
    59:08
    Tavares cuts to the net, but can't find room to get a shot away
     
    58:46
    Icing from Canada as the game is now petering out with the Canadians cruising to victory 6-0
     
    57:03
    This time Weber winds up from distance and the puck seems to smack Crosby in the back and it comes to nothing
     
    56:13
    Vanek! He picks up the loose puck and streaks towards the net, but his shot when looking for the near post is denied well!
     
    55:03
    Absolutely massive slapper from Doughty from the right faceoff circle, Lange even ducked but it rips above his mask and over
     
    53:52
    Matt Duchene puts the puck between two defenders up close to the net but loses control of it at the vital moment
     
    53:20
    Icing again from Austria. Canada are showing just how good they really are, Austria are camped inside their own zone
     
    52:50
    Crosby and Subban toy with the Austrians at the blue line, but the eventual shot is blocked well
     
    52:26
    Lange manages to hold on to the puck as it bobbles around the slot as Rick Nash causes trouble leading the Austrian defenders on a merry dance
     
    51:20
    With the backhand Tavares sends the puck wide just on the top of the crease after heavy Canadian pressure in the zone
     
    51:02
    Icing is committed by Austria
     
    49:49
    Setzinger this time from distance tries his luck but it drifts well wide of the left hand post
     
    49:08
    Austria cough up the puck in their own zone to Toews, with his shot he creates brief mayhem on the slot but Lange manages to cling on
     
    48:18
    Doughty takes aim through traffic but Lange shovels it wide
     
    47:01
    Canada really are playing some wonderful stuff in and around the Austrian net, but in this period so far the final shot is lacking
     
    45:53
    Stezinger! He finds a hole in the Canadian defence and skates clean through one on one but Luongo makes a big pad save to keep the shutout going!
