With Canada's 8-2 beatdown they delivered to Germany last night, the game everyone thought was going to be for the gold medal, will instead, be for a place in the medal round.
Canada versus Russia. Crosby versus Ovechkin. This was many peoples pick, including me, as their Gold medal game. Canada's defeat to the United States on Sunday put this matchup a lot earlier than many had hoped.
This will be a very good game, with two high-powered teams giving it their all. The winner will move into the Semifinal round. Canada will have more hope as they have benched Martin Brodeur in favor of Roberto Luongo. Canada seemed to have picked it up again last night, granted it was against Germany.
This will be one of the best games in the Olympics and the match up the NHL and the world wanted to see. Two of the games hottest young stars, going head to head in a winner move on, loser go home, game.
I think this will be a very good, but close game. I think Russia has more firepower but the home ice & talent will definitely keep Canada in the game.
Prediction: Russia 3 Canada 2
