BRATISLAVA - Canada reached their fourth world championship final in the last five tournaments with a 5-1 rout of the Czech Republic and Finland joined them with a shock 1-0 win over favorites Russia on Saturday.
Having squeezed through to the last four with a dramatic 3-2 quarter-final win over Switzerland, after forcing overtime with a goal 0.4 seconds before the end of regulation, the Canadians enjoyed plain sailing this time. Kyle Turris and a dazzling Thomas Chabot solo effort put the Canadians 5-0 ahead in the third period before Tomas Zohorna netted a late consolation goal for the Czechs.
The Russians had steamrolled into the last four with eight straight wins and scored 40 goals in the process, but an ironclad Finnish defence stifled them in a rugged contest.
