Russia kicked Finland Of the Hockey World Championships 2008 in Canada with 4:0.


Alexei Morozov's 3-0 goal vs. Finland goalie Niklas Backstrom.



Sergej Fjodorow (14.), Danis Saripow (24.), Alexej Morosow (53.) und Maxim Suschinskij (58.) scored the goals for russia ("Sbornaja").


Russia performed with skill, opportunism, and solid defence, scoring in each period. Finland, which took two penalties for too many men on the ice, didn’t seem to have its legs or to be mentally ready to play.


The Finns, who so often start well and finish sadly, will seek their third straight World Championship medal in Saturday’s third-place game. They claimed silver last year and bronze in 2006.

With pressure in the Russian zone midway through the game, Finland had a glorious chance to get on the board, but Nabokov collapsed into the splits in front of Mikko Koivu and stopped the puck with his pants.


The secound Semi final is between Canada and Sweden.
