Ovechkin has never reached a Stanley Cup or Olympic final, let alone known the unbridled joy of coming out ahead in one. At the 2010 Games in Vancouver, Crosby and Team Canada not only eliminated Ovechkin’s Russians, they humiliated them by a 7-3 score. But if he can lead his team to victory Saturday, imagine the shock waves it would create. Add all these facts up, and the logical conclusion is a Canada victory on Saturday. In 2008, he was part of the Russian team that won the World Championship in Quebec City, beating Canada 5-4 in the final.
