Hockey: Russia sends Canada home
Alexander Ovechkin broke a scoreless tie 1:30 into the third period and Russia eliminated defending champion Canada from the Olympics with a 2-0 victory in the men’s hockey quarter-finals Wednesday.
It’s the first time Canada has failed to reach the semifinals in three tries since full participation of NHL players began with the 1998 Games in Nagano, Japan, when it lost the bronze medal game. Canada won gold at the 2002 Games in Salt Lake City.
”I don’t feel very good,” said Canadian coach Pat Quinn. ”You only get certain chances to stand as the best and I really believed that we had a team that was capable of that.”
There are no consolation games at the Olympics, so Team Canada will be headed home while Russia moves on to play Finland in the semifinals on Friday. The Finns beat the United States 4-3 in their quarter-final.hockey
