Going into this second game for group B at the World Cup of Hockey, the momentum was all on the North Americans. (Can we just agree to call them the Young Guns? Thanks)
The Young Guns, came out against Team Finland to put up an impressive 4-1 win. It was more of the same from pre-tournament. Everyone was in love with these North American kids, youth, speed, and incredible, incredible skills.
So going into this game, could these Young Guns keep the winning train going against the Russians?

For the New York Islander Nikolai Kulemin and the Russians, this was a must win game.
