Canada routs Germany 8-2, now meets Russia

Jarome Iginla scored two goals as a revived Canadian hockey team beat Germany 8-2, setting up a quarterfinal matchup against Russia on Wednesday — or four days sooner than predicted.

It's a game hockey fans have craved ever since Russia's Alex Ovechkin and Canada's Sidney Crosby developed into the sport's two top stars for hockey's two fiercest rivals.
