All eyes will be on the match up between Team Canada and the Team USA this evening when the two hockey superpowers clash for what will likely be one of the most important games of the tournament.

For head coach John Tortorella it's an incredibly difficult position to find oneself in, should his team fall to Team Canada this evening it will result in Team USA being eliminated from the tournament, an outcome that would likely result in a great deal of criticism being thrown his way. 

On Tuesday morning Team USA announced that three of their players would be scratched for the all important contest and surprisingly Brandon Dubinsky, a player many felt was added to the roster specifically to rattle Canada captain Sidney Crosby, will be among them. Joining Dubinsky in the press box will be Jack Johnson, a member of Tortorella'sown  Columbus Blue Jackets, and goaltender Corey Schneider.

It's a must-win game for Team USA and there's little doubt Team Canada wants to win just as badly, so this one should be an awesome contest be sure to tune in!


As a side note, expect plenty of criticism regarding Brandon Dubinsky being on this roster in the first place if Team USA falls to Canada this evening, in fact that criticism may be warranted even if they win.
