Finland took the lead already in the ninth minute when Mikael Ruohomaa received the puck in front of goal, turned nicely and put in 1-0.

Already in the first period, there was irritation between the teams and some quarrels and exchanges.

Kanade took three minutes and it was shortly after the second was completed that Finland's 1-0 goal came.

- We took too many expulsions.

Whether it should be expulsions or not, others can judge, but that was the way it was, says hill Troy Stecher.

The coach challenged - and got right

In the second period, it was instead the Finns who incurred expulsions.

Canada pressed and had, among other things, a shot in the post before Maxime Comtois arrived on a return and put the equalizer in numerical superiority.

Before the period was over, Canada thought they had turned through a goal by Adam Henrique, but Lion pilot Jukka Jalonen challenged the verdict and the goal was rejected for offside.

The final for extra time

Just over five minutes into the third period, Canada was first very close to taking the lead, but the game turned quickly and then Petteri Lindbohm scored a Finnish lead goal instead.

That position lasted until seven minutes remained when team captain Henrique stepped forward and put the equalizer to 2-2.

The match then went to extra time and there Arttu Ruotsalainen had a shot in the crossbar.

But the hero was instead the Canadian Nick Paul who finished a 2-on-1 situation.

- It is not possible to get closer to World Cup gold than Finland was.

It is virtually impossible, says Jonas Andersson.

Gold was Canada's 27th in history and thus compares the Soviet Union / Russia in the number of gold.

The last time they won was in 2016.
