After putting down the Germans last night, 8-2, Canada now turns to the cold front that is Russia. Let’s get ready for war, boys.Chants of  “We Want Russia” rained down last night as the Canadians edged closer to victory over the Germans, and the right to face Russia in the quarters. Last night featured a strong showing from many Canadian players, including the blueline, which collectively had seven points. Weber’s shot is so strong, it actually went through the mesh and had to be reviewed. Wow. An overall better game by team Canada, Luongo stood his ground in net and provided stable goaltending which the entire team was able to benefit from.

Up next are the Russians, and I don’t even want to begin to predict this game or give any type of analysis. My advice? Just watch the game, and let it unfold. It should be something amazing to watch if both teams can match the intensity of the other.

Have a great hockey night!

PS: Anyone see Joannie Rochette skate last night? That was amazing. She did an amazing job, even after losing her mother days earlier. A true Canadian athlete!
