Wow..... what a histroy made? Canadian boys were outstanding in nets.
The best of Canadian hockey was on display in this victory for the ages against the world’s No. 1 ranked team from Russia: Passion. Heart. Hunger. Will. The Canadians came at the Russians like a Tsunami. Canada didn’t just beat Russia in this Olympic quarter-final, they humiliated them 7-3, hung one of the most embarrassing defeats on Russia in its Olympic history.
Alex Ovechkin, targeted at every turn, and especially pounded early by Rick Nash and Shea Weber, looked bewildered, looked like he wished he were somewhere else. Skating around with the fin protruding from the back of his pants, Ovie cruised around like a harmless sea creature afloat in Vancouver’s False Creek. To paraphrase Pedro Martinez, the Canadians whipped No. 8 like they were his daddy. One Weber hit broke Ovie’s stick. Subsequent hits broke his spirit.
In either case it was a sweet victory.....Now we are in to Semi's. Bring it on ..................
