    Sweden have won it, 3-2! And just as I had expected, the game was a real thriller. The Russians couldn't get started and conceded two first period goals from Andreas Johnson and Nick Sorensen, but goals from Alexander Barabanov and Mikhail Grigorenko got them right back in the game. The tournament hosts stole the win though with just over two minutes remaining after a goal from Jacob De La Rose. Thanks for following the game here with us, and join me in just under 2 hours for Finland against Switzerland! (16:16:18)
