    Come back tomorrow for our coverage of the two medal games, as well as the sudden-death relegation game between Germany and Norway. (21:21:16)
     
    Players of the Game:

    Canada – Derrick Pouliot
    Finland – Joni Nikko
     
    Shots on goal in the 3rd period: Canada 10 (24), Finland 4 (23).
    Quality scoring chances: Canada 1 (4), Finland 2 (11).

    Perhaps it's not an upset that Finland won this game, but more how they won -- they were utterly dominant in all facets of the game and are fully deserving of their place in the final against Sweden. But first, Canada will play Russia for the bronze medal.
