One thing I expect in tonight's Semi Final game is a ton of offense and a lot of goals. I'm sure a lot of you watched the game last night between the Czechs and Russians and it was a goal tending clinic. Both teams had a ton of shots and scoring chances, but both goalies gave their team a shot to win it. It took the full 60 minute game and a few extra minutes in OT until finally the Russians scored on a counter attack after the Czech's penalty had just run out. Tonight's game between Canada and Russia brings together the 2 highest scoring teams in this together which is why I think the O6.5 +102 has some value. This was taken off TSN's website: When asked if he thought Canada would be motivated to eliminate his team from gold-medal contention because of what happened last year, the Washington Capitals draft pick said via an interpreter, "I don't care." "We are not afraid of Canada," Kuznetsov added. Russia is a very skilled, cocky and determined team and the winner of this game in my opinion will win the Gold Medal. Scott Wedgewood, the goalie for Team Canada, who was named the second string coming into the tournament will get the nod in goal tonight. He's been pretty solid in his 2 starts in this tournament and he has the second best Save % in this tournament. Russia's goalie, Andrei Vasilevsk, has the number 1 rank Save % in this tournament which is why I think the books are thinking this game stays under. But I think otherwise and I expect both teams to score their share of goals tonight in a back and forth game between 2 elite hockey nations. Canada vs Russia OVER 6.5 +102
