Crosy sets the pace

After winning 8-2 against Germany on Tuesday, Canada continues their quest for gold, taking on Russia today in the quarterfinals. If successful, Canada will move on to the Gold medal final. If not, it’s the end of the road for the home team. No doubt, there will be a sea of red and white at Canada Hockey Place to support the Canadian boys.
It’s obvious this is a huge game for Team Canada, but it comes with a little more depth than usual. There is an infamous rivalry between young NHL stars Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin. Drafted into the NHL in the same year, these highly praised forwards have been competing for time in the limelight, collecting a number of awards, including the Art Ross Trophy, the Hart Memorial Trophy, and the Lester B. Pearson Award. They are hands down the two best players in the NHL. Both Crosby and Ovechkin have proved time and time again that they are able to play well under pressure, and are the consistent high scorers in the league.

This was supposed to be Canada’s shining moment, to win the sport that they consider their own on home soil.
A day later, supporters have begun to piece together a comeback plan. Team Canada has definitely carved out a much harder route to the finals, but not an impossible one. Coming back from this would make a medal even sweeter, especially if that medal is gold. Read More
