    58:33
    Salak goes to the bench for a 6th attacker, play deep in the Finnish zone.
     
    55:11
    Jormakka sends Olli Palola in on goal but Alexander Salak makes a big save. That would have been a back-breaker for sure.

    28:31
    Play is stopped as Jaromir Jagr and Tuukka Mantyla get tangled up in the Finnish zone, Jagr is called for slashing, so Finland is going back to the power play. They're 1/4 in the game, but more important than scoring is a chance to take another 2 minutes off the clock.

    Mantyla centres for Pakarinen, one-times it just wide from the slot.

    38:20

    37:40
    Roman Cervenka is called for slashing in the attacking zone, Finland is 1/2 on the power play, and look to put a stranglehold on this game late in the 2nd period.
     
    36:18
    2-on-1 Finland but Michal Vondrka does a good job on the backcheck to break up the pass, then the Czechs counter quickly and Pekka Rinne with the save.
     
    34:00
    The puck comes to Olli Jokinen right on front of the net but he can't backhand it bast Salak.
     
    31:02
    Goal for Team Finland!
    It doesn't take them long to cash in. From the top of the circle, Kontiola feeds JARKKO IMMONEN at the goal line, and with the right-handed shot he has the angle to beat Salak and it's 2-0. Power-play goal.
    Assists: Petri Kontiola, Jere Karalahti.

    13:20
    The Finns come back up ice quickly and nearly score, Jormakka's shot was stopped by Salak but the rebound hit Immonen and just bounced wide.
     
    09:13
    Olli Jokinen is now called for holding, so the Czechs get a chance on the power play and will be looking to equalise.
     
    08:57
    Goal for Team Finland!
    What a great individual effort by JORI LEHTERA. He picked up the puck in the neutral zone and carried it across the line. The play didn't look so threatening but he beat Vitasek to the outside and then backhanded past Salak to open the scoring.
    Assists: Juuso Hietanen, Petri Kontiola.
