Russia beat Canada for world gold

Russia have won the ice hockey World Championship, dethroning the hosts Canada 5-4 in a dramatic final.

With the game tied 4-4 after three periods, Ilya Kovalchuk scored the winner in the overtime to end Russia's 15-year gold medal drought.

The loss denied Canada their bid to become the first host nation to capture the title since the Soviet Union's victory in Moscow in 1986.

[...]

"We have a great team with great players and we believed in each other," Russian defender Andrei Markov was quoted as saying by AFP.

It is Russia's first world title since 1993.

"It sucks but you know it was a great hockey game," Canada's Ryan Getzlaf said after the final.


Let me spare a thought for dear "Snakey on Ice"...

Russians did played good @ 3rd period....while we had 4-2 lead....we couldnt trap them at the end..It never shoulda gone to OT..
A major tournament was decided by a puck over the glass penalty. HOW SAD...:angry too bad NASH had to ruined it while his line were awesomely unstoppable.....a monster..

Both had 8-0 record...somebody had to lose.. =O
