Canada vs Russia : The quarterfinals of the men’s Olympic ice hockey
Canada vs. Russian Olympic Men’s quarter final game has a start time is 4.30 pm PST. Only one team can win gold. The quarterfinals of the men’s Olympic ice hockey tournament take place today, Canada vs. Russian with the home team Canada. And both teams have hopes of leaving Vancouver 2010 with the gold medal in men’s hockey.
Canada must hope that a new line centered by Sidney Crosby can help end half a century’s worth of futility against Russia, which needs to continue riding reigning two-time MVP Alex Ovechkin’s scoring — and hitting.
Regardless, one of the countries will see its medal dreams end Wednesday night in the quarterfinals.
“I mean, that’s a big rivalry. We all know it,” said Crosby, the captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins who is tied with the Washington Capitals’ Ovechkin for the NHL goal-scoring lead with 42. “It’s something everyone’s been talking about. It’s something at we thought that sooner or later it was going to happen.
“I don’t think anyone believed it would be in quarterfinals.”
The Russians haven’t won gold since the Unified Team did so in 1992. They took bronze in 2002, but were blanked by the Czechs in the bronze-medal game four years ago in Turin.
