Kovalchuk has scored for Russia!

 

QUEBEC CITY â?? Ilya Kovalchukâ??s goal at 2:42 of overtime broke a 4-4 tie and gave Russia an historic gold medal today at the Colisée in one of the most anticipated finals games in many years. Kovalchuk also scored the tying goal with five minutes left in the third period.

 

If this game isn't evidence enough to everyone in Canada of the calibre of play possible in the World Championship, nothing is or ever will be. Played at breathtaking speed with heart-pounding drama, this would surely rank in the top 10 of the IIHF's top 100 if the list were released next week instead of yesterday.

 

With Canadaâ??s loss, the â??home ice curseâ? at the IIHF World Championship continues. The last host team to win the title was the Soviets in 1986 in Moscow
