World Cup of Hockey - Day 4

Wrapping up yesterdays action...

I missed most of the game but it looks like Canada had an easy time winning 5-1. Here is a game wrap up from TSN.

Once again the news wasn't all good for team Canada as they have now lost Wade Redden with an apparent shoulder injury. Jay Bouwmeester and Scott Hannan are now the 5th and 6th defenseman... check out what Bob McKenzie has to say about the Redden injury and the possible ramifications.

Earlier yesterday Sweden handed the Czech Republic there second straight loss. The Czechs were down and out early, but they came on strong and made a game of it in the third. Here is a recap from CBC

Todays Games

Finland takes on Germany (10:30am pst)

Russia takes on the United States (4:00pm pst, CBC). Should be interesting to see what the Russians have to offer and the game will be a good test for the Americans. CBC with a preview
