12.05.2010 Preliminary Round Group D: Finnland - USA 3:2

Icehockey WC 2010 at Germany

Lanxess Arena, Cologne (Germany)

(Pentax k-x with Tamron SP AF 17-50mm 2.8 XR Di II LD Asp IF and Sigma AF 50-150mm 2.8 EX DC APO HSM II)

The second expected final game of group D between Finnland and the USA. But this time with changed signs: The looser would have to go to relegation roud. Despite the result of 3:2 seemed to be quite tight for the Finns they were all the time the superior team of this evening and entered the qualification round while the USA were completely disappointing and completely deserved to play only relegation round.

Finnland - USA 3:2 (0:1 / 1:0 / 2:1)

03:30 / 0:1 / David Moss

35:52 / 1:1 / Leo Komarov

40:18 / 2:1 / Jarkko Immonen

57:58 / 3:1 / Sami Kapanen

:43 / 3:2 / Timothy Leif Oshie
