Quarter Finals Begin in Olympic Hockey




The big game today is Russia Vs. Canada on CNBC-HD at 6pm Central time. If you don't normally watch hockey, but the Olympic hockey has pulled you in a bit, especially with US beating Canada last Sunday. Well, you are in for a treat tonight. Both teams are loaded with NHL stars, and if you pay any attention to the NHL, their has been a rivalry created between the 2 biggest stars Sidney Crosby of Pittsburgh and Alexander Ovechkin of Washington. Now they bring that rivalry to the Olympics representing their countries, and loser goes home. Crosby will lead the Canadians and Ovechkin will lead the Russians in tonight's explosive, high intensity, fast paced game. This will be a very exciting game, and fun to watch.

Team USA will play Switzerland at 2pm on NBC to start the Quarterfinals, The US has beaten them in group play, but its now elimination rounds and the smaller nations play for these type of games, so US needs to be play well today. Last night was an example of scares as 0-4 Latvia took Czech Republic to overtime. Latvia may have had one player on their team if that who plays in the NHL. So US needs a win today to move to the semi-finals.
