I just bought a new $75 hat, perhaps i should gel my hair since everyone is predicting a hat trick

I hope its an epic battle as to the one where Sid and Ovi both got hat tricks
paid too much money for this to be a blow out!

[qcrew]

5 Goals for Canada
4 Goals for Russia
Ovechkin scores the first goal of the game.
Crosby scores a hat trick.
Crosby has the most points.

This will be a Crosby/Staal/Iginla battle vs Ovechkin/Semin/Kovalchuk.

Points to remember: Russia has better top end talent, but Canada has superior forward depth and better defence and goaltending.
Ovechkin was ineffective when Canada demolished Russia in the World Junior Championships. Look for Rick Nash to crush Ovechkin tonight. Canada have Thornton/Marleau/Heatley/Boyle who all know Nabokov's weaknesses. If I were the Russian coach, I'd be sitting Nabokov tonight...Drop the puck!!!

My take is that Canada wins if it's a low-scoring game, loses if high-scoring, so Luongo had better come up big:

3 Goals for Canada
1 Goal for Russia
Iginla scores the first goal of the game.
No one scores a hat trick.
Crosby has the most points.
Richards with the empty netter.

LET'S GO BOYS, DO IT FOR YOUR 34 MILLION FELLOW COMPATRIOTS IN CANADA AND THE MILLIONS MORE THAT LIVE ELSEWHERE!

the player who scores a hatrick tonight None maybe Perry
