WC: Canada out, but Tavares exits with a highlight

Here are highlights from the Russia-Canada quarterfinal at the World Championships, including John Tavares' "sick" goal (9:03 into the video) in which he undresses former Islanders defenseman Denis Grebeshkov and pots the shot just inside the post. [h/t to Hakker in comments for the link.]
Pavel Datsyuk also had quite the snipe (4:24) to make it 2-0. The game of course ended 5-2 for Russia, eliminating Canada from what has been a strange tourney overall. Puck Worlds has snippets on the rest of Thursday's action.
Again, Tavares' goal is at 9:03 of this video. As you'll see from the rest of the highlights, it was not pretty for Canada, and there were a lot of "skirmishes," in the parlance of our times (see Steve Downie in a stick battle with Sergei Fedorov around 8:50 in this video; it starts to look like 1972 out there):
Sorry this is late (and light), but I'm felled by some spring bug, so it'll have to do for now.

Pretty good Russian lesson. “Nu Par Ruski?” (courtesy of Hunt for Red Oktober)
Really good lookin goal by JT. I want to see a lot of that in the coming season.
Seeing as this was a pro’s not in the playoffs game, where was Cindy? And the best goalie for Canada is: Mason? He looked bad on a couple of goals, although a few were very close in. He really needs work on his 5 hole.
Get out of the sticks, Charles, move to Queens!! Come, Get some respect a Professional team deserves!!
Mason? He looked bad on a couple of goals, although a few were very close in. He really needs work on his 5 hole.
Having watched way too many Blues games, I can give testament that such is the Mason Experience. Wonderful saves, knee-buckling whiffs. Blues fans discuss that from time to time, and you never know if you’re just being the biased fan, but in this case the WC provided “neutral” evidence of the phenomenon.
