[Yakushev72]

46 minutes remaining.

Can't wait! Looking forward to see Grigorenko.

Not very likely. He took a few shifts last night, but they had to have him sit most of the night. I hope I'm wrong, but Bragin may have concluded that he could only hurt himself further, and at the same time, be somewhat of a liability to the team. He is far too young to have been a turning point tonight anyway.

 

[David Suzuki]

Hopefully it's a classic!

Canada: 4
Beaulieu
Gormley
Stone

Russia: 3
