    47:54
    Miettinen missed a long shot at the empty net, but the Swedes getting 2 penalties on the play, slashing against Svensson and then, after the whistle, unsportsmanlike conduct against Axelsson. It's done.
     
    47:12
    Timeout Finland. They have the power play now, but want to play it smart. It will be 4-on-4 on the floor with the Swedish goalie out.
     
    47:12
    Now there is a Swedish penalty, Henrik Hoglund for roughing. Lots of emotion down on the floor right now as players exchange words with each other. No love lost between Sweden and Finland.
     
    47:01
    A Finnish player was knocked down there, looked like maybe a high stick but play continued as he struggled to the bench. Finally Hovi makes the save to stop play, and the Finnish bench is upset there was no call. Faceoff in the Finnish zone.
     
    45:30
    Ollikainen skates to the bench for a 5th attacker with the puck still in the Swedish zone.
     
    45:16
    Timeout Sweden. Faceoff in their end with 2:44 on the clock.
     
    45:16
    No goal! Partanen skated in slowly, Ollikainen forced the backhand wide. Sweden not done yet.
     
    45:16
    And now a penalty shot coming to Petri Partanen as he was tripped on a breakaway. This is huge right here now.
     
    44:27
    Sami Markkanen with a golden chance to restore Finland's 3-goal lead but Andreas Ollikainen made a huge blocker save. Every save he makes now it huge.
     
    42:41
    Goal for Team Sweden!
    The power play had just ended, and the Swedes entered the zone. ROBIN SJOREN fired a wrister through traffic that looked like it changed direction just in front of Hovi. The Swedes are back in it.
    Assist: Johan Erkgards.
     
    40:47
    The Swedes were threatening and the Finnish net is knocked off. The referee is calling goaltender Sasu Hovi for delaying the game, so the Swedes with a big power play coming up. They certainly have to score if they want to get back into this.
     
    39:07
    Goal for Team Sweden!
    Lilja led the rush into the zone, fed MARCUS NILSSON. His first shot hit Hovi in the chest, but he knocked the rebound out of the air but below the crossbar and into the net to get Sweden on the board.
    Assists: Johan Lilja, Carl Berglund.
     
    37:26
    Dick Axelsson with a chance and another big save by Sasu Hovi. The Swedes clearly frustrated and they thought there should have been a penalty on the play, but no. Faceoff in the Finnish zone.
     
    36:25
    Goal for Team Finland!
    On a 2-on-1 rush, MARKUS JOKINEN held the puck, made a move to his backhand and went upstairs over the glove of Ollikainen. At 4-0, that might just punch Finland's ticket into the Final.
    Unassisted.
     
    36:01
    Start of the 4th period.
     
    36:00
    End of 3rd period.
     
    29:47
    Goal for Team Finland!
    Then they add a 3rd goal 1:11 later! A nice tic-tac-toe passing play around the Swedish zone, Laakonen with the cross-crease pass to OSSI PELLINEN, who put it in.
    Assists: Janne Laakkonen, Mikko Pukka.
     
    28:36
    Goal for Team Finland!
    It was a 3-on-2 rush, Virtala with the pass across to JESSE SAARINEN, and he fired a beautiful wrist shot over Ollikainen's blocker, off the far post and in. With the strength of defence in this game, the 2-0 Finnish lead now is huge.
    Assist: Marko Virtala.
     
    21:55
    Two huge saves by Sasu Hovi! First a breakaway by Carl Berglund, then a two-on-nothing and another stick save.
     
    16:58
    After a couple of minor clashes near boards, referees call Axelsson (SWE) for interference.
     
    14:41
    Goal for Team Finland!
    Finland take the lead shorthanded when MARKUS JOKINEN slips through two opponents and scores with a wristshot towards the far post. Assisted by Juho Hoki-Erkkila.
     
    14:05
    Penttinen (FIN) is called for roughing. Powerplay to Sweden.
     
    6:41
    Robin Sjören (SWE) is penalized for holding an opponent.
     
    5:01
    Great save by Hovi in the Finnish net. He made himself big and stopped a close range shot by Sjören. The opening goal was close!
