Saturday 10.08.2013, 15:00 • Hlinka Gretzky Cup
     
    M.V.P for Team Canada – Brayden Point (17:07:30)
     
    M.V.P. for Team U.S.A. – Austin Poganski
     
    That's your lot. Two third period goals through Aaron Ekblad and Brendan Lemieux lift Canada to a 4-0 victory over an exhausted looking Team U.S.A., and it's the Canadians who take the gold medal at the 2013 Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup, their sixth straight gold medal at this tournament
     
    60:00
    Game over.
     
    59:34
    Long shot by Wolff is kicked away by Billia
     
    59:16
    And now the U.S. go offside
     
    59:03
    Billia makes a save, knocking the puck over the glass with the blocker. The only suspense is whether or not he gets the shutout
     
    58:00
    Final two minutes in the third period
     
    57:37
    The Americans ice the puck.
     
    56:03
    Brayden Point tries to work the puck round behind Nedeljkovic's goal but it deflects off the leg of Carlo and out of play
     
    55:30
    The U.S. are still going. Dylan Malmquist has a chance close to Billia but the Canadian shot stopper easily makes the save.
     
    54:17
    Goal for Team Canada!

    Relentless forechecking by Canada and they've got their fourth. It's BRENDAN LEMIEUX who is jogging on the spot at the back door, and Nedeljkovic is able to make the first save but Lemieux pots the rebound.
     
    54:00
    Spencer Watson tries to create room and get the shot away but the combination of Carlo and Rosburg do enough to knock the puck away.
     
    53:01
    Virtanen gets a backhand shot on goal but Nedeljkovic makes the save.
     
    52:29
    Goal for Team Canada!

    That's pretty much game, set and match for Canada now. The puck is deflected back out to the point, and AARON EKBLAD lets rip with an absolute howitzer of a one timer which goes off the crossbar and in.
     
    52:03
    Penalty coming against the U.S. Aaron Haydon gets a two minute boarding penalty
     
    51:28
    Haydon does well blocking Chartier's centering feed with his leg. Bishop was all alone at the back post
     
    51:01
    Cody Milan fires wide on a wrist shot from the left wing circle
     
    50:00
    We're into the final ten minutes of the second period. The U.S. are trying but they don't look like they have the legs to get back in the game
     
    49:15
    Canada ice the puck
