IIHF game summary:

Ovechkin with the cup“If this game isn’t evidence enough to everyone in Canada of the calibre of play possible in the World Championship, nothing is or ever will be. Played at breathtaking speed with heart-pounding drama, this would surely rank in the top 10 of the IIHF’s top 100 if the list were released next week instead of yesterday.”
