    Goal for Team Canada!
    Scorer is DOUGHTY.

    Jeff Carter skates the puck out of his own end and feeds Doughty early. Rask plays the give back to Carter a little too hard and Doughty gets his second of the game.
     
    62:00
    Finland has a little something still in the tank. Kukkonen with a nice hit and a good shot on Price ends with a blocker save.
     
    60:15
    Almost a quick ending here as Canada gets a great try on Rask. Bergeron cannot put it in.

    Despite controlling the period and outshooting Finland 8 to 2, Canada cannot score. We are going to sudden death overtime.
     
    60:00
    3rd period finished.
     
    59:27
    Vlasic can almost end it there as he skates in from the left circle with no pressure. The Finnish defender dives for the block and Vlasic tries to pick the glove side. It ricochets high and into the netting above Rask.
     
    58:30
    Finland only focused here on not getting scored on. They seem to have given up offensively. Canada spending a lot of time in the Finland zone this period.
     
    57:00
    Pietrangelo waiting on the doorstep for a deflection chance, but Rask covers. He has saved 22 shots so far with the last save.
     
    55:30
    Canada really turning up the pressure on Finland. The Finns not handling it well and are getting nothing offensively. Only 13 shots this game and two this period.
     
    54:00
    Toews working hard to get to the front of the net. He gives a nice feed to Carter, but he cannot bury the puck. Best offensive series for Canada of the game there.
     
    52:30
    Canada looking a little tired or disinterested on offense. No one skating to the net and some sloppy play in the Finnish zone.
     
    51:00
    Nothing going for either team offensively as they struggle to even get in the offensive zone.
     
    49:30
    Granlund makes a bad decision on a clear attempt scared of taking a hit. It leads to a Kunitz interception and wraparound attempt. No time to be intimidated if you are Finland.
     
    48:30
    Finland looking for the big play with long passes, but Canada gobbling them up. Both teams playing really tight defensively.
