    We have one finalist, and now we will see who the other is in our late game. Canada and Finland will play the other semifinal, starting in about 100 minutes . . . 19:00 CET, 20:00 EET, 13:00 EST. (17:24:55)
     
    Players of the Game:

    Sweden – Oskar Dansk
    Russia – Damir Zhafyrov
     
    Shots on goal in the 3rd period (and game): Sweden 3 (21), Russia 10 (27).

    The situation is defused and the teams are now on their respective bluelines. An intense end to an intense game. Two great teams and it's Sweden who advance to tomorrow's final. Russia will play for bronze.
     
    Pushing and shoving along the boards as the horn went has now escalated as the teams come off the benches. Both teams had better be careful, as they don't want to lose players for tomorrow -- particularly Sweden, who will play for the gold medal.

    58:21
    Timeout Russia.

    With the faceoff at the blueline, it appears Vasilevsky is staying in the net for now, but he'll be looking to the bench if they get the puck in deep.
     
    58:21
    Offside Russia, some shoves are exchanged after the whistle but I can't imagine there will be any penalties at this point unless it's grievous, and inded there isn't.
