There won't be Sidney Crosby or Alex Ovechkin  or Ilya Kovalhcuk playing, but still a pretty intense rivalry with a lot on the line when Canada and Russia write the next chapter of their international hockey rivalry on Thursday.

The two global hockey powers will meet in the quarterfinal round of the 2018 IIHF World Championship Thursday morning, in Denmark. The matchup was set after Russia finished second in group play, and Canada third, with the two teams each scoring 32 goals in seven pool play games.
