I've just learned that Crosby has already played against Belarus in 2006, Canada lost that game 3:4. He even recalled that Andrei Mezin was in net, so Sundin, Forsberg, Lidstrom and other Swedes are not the only superstars Mezin was able to beat. Now Crosby has a chance to tie his record vs. Belarus up
The better Canadian goalie is gonna play for Belarus.
That's "the game of the life" for most Belarusian players and just a regular game for team Canada.
Canadians have a chance to make a whole country happy while almost no one in Canada would care even if they win a gold.
"Wayne Gretzky's father Walter Gretzky reports that his own father, an immigrant to Canada, was of consciously Belarusian landowner stock". Hey Canadians, you can make the motherland of the Great One happy. His relatives still live in Belarus, I even knew one Gretzky who lives in Minsk.
Belarus is better than France and they lost to Canada only by one Not too many reasons to be optimistic...
