This should be a great game.

The most dangerous part for Russia is whether or not Ovechkin spends too much time concentrating on Crosby and laying him out on Canadian ice versus trying to win the game.

This will be yet another great notch in the Crosby/Ovechkin battle.

With Canada's offense and Russia's much weaker defense, this could be a high scoring game.

Loser goes home. Russia may be bad defensively, but are dangerous nonetheless. Canada needs a statement game versus a top opponent to get some momentum going into the quarter finals.

 

[pghbuccos]

I really wish I could say Canada was going to win but as I told Jesse before the Olympics started I think Russia will win Gold.

I agree Mike I hope Ovie doesn't pay too much attention to Sid.

my prediction

Russia 6

Canada 3

sorry to my Canadian friends

 

[shephech]

I have a feeling this will be really close.... Russia & Canada both have not impressed me during these Olympics, but I think Canada's better defense will win this game....

My prediction:

Canada 4
Russia 2

Final.... I said it! now that makes it a lock :lol:

Shep :ugeek:

Kinda shame two great teams, maybe the best two this year, play in QFs, but that's the way it broke.

I just know I don't wanna be anywhere near there IF the Canadians do go down, especially on a bad goal or a bad call. :shock:

Canada 5 to 2.

It will be absolutely CRAZY here in Vancouver today!!! The streets will be rockin' tonight... especially after the Canadian win!!

Yeah i cant even imagine what the atmosphere is like in Vancouver these days.


did they give the kids the 2 weeks off of school? or is school in these days??

What is even scarier is the fact that the winner of this is game is more than likely going to have to play Sweden. I mean they are going to be another tough game for the winner of Canada v. Russia...

It's just amazing to think that it's possible that two of Canada, Russia and Sweden don't win medals...

I wanted to see this matchup, but I didn't necessarily want it to be this early. The tournament is going to be a huge disappointment for one of these teams.

woot woot woot


GETZLAF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[G $MONEY$]

Interesting tidbit i just heard on CTV. Canada has not beat Russia in Olympic hockey since 1960 and are 1-9 all time Vs Russia.

 

[G $MONEY$]

#17 must be retired by RUSSIA, correct? Cause Kovy is wearing 71 and Malkin is #11. Must have been Valeri Kharlamov's number im thinking?

 

[jeff550]

man, i have not been as impresed as russia as i thought i would, it is annoying the louu after every save Luongo makes :?

 

[G $MONEY$]

woot woot woot

The PARTY HAS STARTED!!!!

 

[thehamiltonian]

Keep rolling Canada!

I don't get to watch Nash very often, but damn is he good.

 

[KC37]

Russia finally woke up. Probably didn't want to spot a 3-goal lead, though.

 

[G $MONEY$]
