There's been some pretty epic comebacks in Canada/Russia recent WJC history if memory serves...

EDIT: Speak of the devil...the grimy Barbashev shaves the lead to three...

The Canadian nativists (and US Olympic basketball team fans) always kind of weird me out. You pound your chest and have proven once again that you are the kings of your game.
I guess that's cool, but isn't that like a Louisiana cook inviting someone from Minnesota to challenge them at a crawfish boil?

Grimy? What a bizarre choice of word.

Oh, 5-3.

If Morrissey were to become a Penguin, I would get my first jersey since I was 15.

Glad to see Barbashev get the Russian Player of the Game, but I thought Sharks prospect Nikolay Goldobin was the best Russian player tonight. Dangerous every time he stepped on the ice.

they can pound their chests all they want but the last several years of this tourney have proven that this tourney can go to any one of the top 5 teams in any given year. hell, in the last 6 years USA has twice as many golds as Canada. :wink:
