The Russians were another one of the surprise packages of the first round, outlasting Greece 1-0 and subduing Sweden with two nearly perfect goals, the second a five-pass combination that Andrei Arshavin finished to give the throng of supporters shouting "Roos-y-a" the feeling that...

The Crimson posted a 6-1 win over Ivy League foe Yale and recorded its biggest win in 15 years with a 11-0 annihilation of visiting Quinnipiac in the opening game of the ECAC playoffs.
