darlene Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Just have to make this post! Canada wins world hockey championship Sunday, May 13, 2007 CBC Sports Canada capped off a remarkable world hockey championship run by winning the gold on Sunday, with a 4-2 victory over Finland. Rick Nash scored two of the goals, carrying a Finnish defender on his back on a breakaway goal to seal the game with just 1:06 left at Arena Khodynka in Moscow. "That was some of the best hockey I've ever seen played." Canada did not lose in the tournament, beating nine separate countries by a combined score of 41-21. The largely unheralded group was one of the youngest professional teams Canada had ever assembled for the event. The victory is Canada's fifth since 1994, but the first since 2004. Russia takes bronze Alexei Emelin, Sergei Zinoviev and Alexander Frolov scored earlier Sunday as Russia defeated Sweden 3-1 to capture the bronze medal. The Russians were stunned 2-1 in overtime by Finland in Saturday's semifinal, their only loss during the two weeks of play. Russia has won the tournament just once since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, in 1993. Russians Alexei Morozov and Andrei Markov were named the tournament's top forward and defenceman, respectively, with Lehtonen selected as the best goaltender. Canada will host the tournament for the first time in 2008. Games will be played in Halifax and Quebec City. Quote
