Finland – Russia 3-0 (0-0, 1-0, 2-0)
Mikael Granlund scored the jaw-dropping second-period winner as Finland blanked Russia 3-0 in the last semi-final and marched into Sunday’s gold medal game with Sweden. The Russians will face the Czechs for bronze.It is the fourth Sweden-Finland final ever for this tournament. The Swedes won gold in 1992 and 1998, while Finland spoiled Tre Kronor’s home-ice party in 1995 and claimed its lone Worlds gold.
"We’re very happy to be among the best two teams in the world," said Finnish head coach Jukka Jalonen. "We deserved it, as we played a very good game. Our power play worked well and our penalty kill worked well. That’s the reason we won today."
The most famous confrontation between Sweden and Finland was at the 2006 Olympics in Turin, Italy, where Nicklas Lidström gave Tre Kronor gold with his early third-period goal in a 3-2 win. Sweden's last Worlds gold came against the Czechs later that year.
Sweden - Czech Republic 5-2 (0-0, 2-1, 3-1)
Sweden overcame a 1-0 deficit in the second period with a furious rally to defeat the Czechs 5-2 this afternoon at Orange Arena. The win gives Tre Kronor the first spot in Sunday night’s gold medal game. Great goaltending from Viktor Fasth and goals in the middle period from Patrik Berglund and Mikael Backlund were the difference. The victory eradicated ghosts of 2010 when the Czechs scored in the final seconds to tie the semi-final game against Sweden, won 3-2 in overtime, and went on to win gold. Tre Kronor would surrender no such miracle goal today. Berglund had two goals for the winners and Mikael Backlund had a goal and an assist. Patrik Elias had both Czech goals.
