Crosby's line (whoever is on it) is going to have to start generating more in the way of high quality scoring chances if Canada's going to have any chance of beating Russia, assuming it gets that far.
I can see them outplaying the Russians for a whole game, just like they've outplayed every other team so far, and still being outscored at the end of it. In fact, with the scoring woes to this point, I have a hard time imagining any other outcome. I'm starting to think this qualification game is the best thing that could have happened to Canada: more time to gel and work things out throughout the roster.
