IIHF World Champs 2008 - Russian Hockey: Rise from Oblivion [HQ]

Downloadable version [HQ]: Russia’s national ice hockey team beat Canada 5-4 in overtime in the final of the 2008 IIHF World Championship in Canada to become world champions for the first time in 15 years. Trailing the Canadians 2-4 in the third period on Sunday, two quick goals from Alexei Tereshchenko and Ilya Kovalchuk brought the Russians level. And with almost three minutes into overtime and with Canadian Rick Nash in the penalty box for delaying the game, Kovalchuk clinched the game with a well-placed wrist shot over the shoulder of Canadian goalkeeper Cam Ward. Video tribute to somewhat historical victory in Quebec. UPD This achievement was repeated one year later at IHWC 2009 in Switzerland!
