Watch World Hockey Championship Canada Vs Russia Online

Online, May 12, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Team Canada will play their hockey rivals, Russia, in the quarter final game of the 2011 Men's World Hockey Championship. The winner advances, the loser goes home. Neither team are ready to pack it up yet, so this game should be interesting to watch.

The Team Canada coach, Ken Hitchcock, expects this game to be decided by his top players, whether or not they deliver is another question.

After Wednesday's practice, Hitchcock said "We've got to get great performances from (Jason) Spezza, from (Rick) Nash, from (James) Neal, from (Alex) Pietrangelo, from (Dion) Phaneuf and (Brent) Burns. Those guys got to be great for us if we're going to win.

"It's the same for the Russians. It goes through the KHL Five and then it goes through (Ilya) Kovalchuk and (Alex) Ovechkin."

Starting in nets for Canada on Thursday will be Jonathan Bernier, who will have to come up with a big performance if Canada wants to win this game.

The Russians have 12 players who played together at the Vancouver Olympics, so you can be sure they'll try to avenge that embarrassing loss.
