Sydney Crosby has been the one of the many contributors to this high powered offense. Crosby has 4 points to his name with a pair of goals and assists to his credit.
The key for Canada all tournament long has been their ability to control the pace of play. They have kept the puck in the opponents zone for big stretches at a time and have been able to really put pressure on goal with shots.
Russia is an attack minded team, similar to Canada, which means this will be a very open game with a lot of counter attacks.
Team Russia
The Russians road to the semi finals was anything but easy.
After dropping their opener to Sweden, they were thrown into a must win situation against Team North America. Russia trailed 1-0 before rattling off 4 second period goals. They held off a flurry of late shots on goal to hold off for a 4-3 victory.
In their finale, Russia held down Finland 3-0 to secure their spot.

Sergei Bobrovsky has started all 3 games, allowing just 1.68 goals per game.
