Canada 4, Russia 3

Canada Hockey

Lord have mercy.  I'm not as young as I used to be and my heart can't take that kind of a nail-biting finish.  Up 4-0, we should have been home free but instead we let Russia steal the momentum and almost steal the game.

We were very luck to hang on.  In the third period, the Russians kept coming and coming and looked destined to tie it were it not for a little luck and great goaltending.  Sure, we scored an insurance marker from the blue line that was wrongly disallowed, but that just so we had an excuse should we blow this one.

When it counts, Canada finds a way to win and we'll be playing for our third World Championship in a row tomorrow at 13:30 EST.  Go Canada Go!
