Wharnsby: Team Canada storms into quarter-finals
Jarome Iginla scored twice and Joe Thornton, Shea Weber, Sidney Crosby, Mike Richards, Scott Niedermayer and Rick Nash had the other goals as Team Canada beat Germany 8-2 in men's hockey at the Vancouver Olympics. With the win, Canada qualified for a quarter-final showdown with Russia.
Morrison: Dominant win for Team Canada
Practices resume in the NHL on Wednesday morning for non-Olympians. For at least one more day, however, that group does not include Team Canada. Whether the Canadians can keep their Olympic flame burning beyond that, of course, remains an extremely tall order, but at least the dream is still alive.
Iginla finds momentum with Staal, Crosby
Jarome Iginla has moved like a Yo-Yo through the lineup during these Olympics. But after scoring twice in an 8-2 win against Germany on Tuesday night, the Team Canada winger might have finally found some stability alongside Sidney Crosby and Eric Staal.
YOUR VIEW: Can Canada overcome Russia?
Despite their struggles, can Canada overcome the high-powered Russians? Will Roberto Luongo stand tall in net? And who will come out on top, Crosby or Ovechkin?
Canada calms panic with a rout of Germany
Canada crushed lightly regarded Germany, 8-2, in an elimination game Tuesday, and its reward was another elimination clash on Wednesday, against Alex Ovechkin and the Russians.
Arthur: Like it or not, the Russians are coming
Russia. In hockey, the word alone still evokes greatness and mystery and fear, and before these Olympics began, you figured that Canada might have to face the world's other true hockey superpower for gold. If you had to pick this tournament's dream final, it would be Canada-Russia; if you had to pick the winner, chances are those were your top two choices. Though not necessarily, it should be said, in that order.
