There were 16 teams who fought it out, gloves on…for the most part, for the World Championship title. From Norway, to Russia and even Belarus were in it to win it. Since the kickoff on April 24th, the United States had participated in eight games only winning three. I went into this tournament with high hopes stemming from these past winter Olympics, but was sorely let down. Last year we captured 5th place in the world ranking. Russia took the gold this year after taking on Canada this past Saturday in Switzerland. They only took it by one point, but they took it none the less.

Canada vs. Russia TONIGHT!
Canada is set to play Russia in T-minus 2 hours. There was high hopes for a Sidney Crosby vs Alex Ovechkin rumble on the ice during the Olympics this year but this confrontation will not be for the Gold. Although both teams are powerhouse nations, they will be playing their hearts out tonight for the mere chance to keep going in the Olympics."That's a big rivalry," Crosby said Tuesday night. "We all know it. The fact that's its a big quarterfinal, the fact that it's them with one of us being done just adds more to it."
Canada and Russia will need to go hard or go home tonight, so tune in and watch what happens!
