Last time we had a overtime in the gold medal match was in 2008 in Canada. Ilya Kovalchuk scored the Russian overtime winner against Canada 5-4

No goal in overtime, so the Penalties shootout will have to decide the World Champion 2017

Not an expert, but that looked like a lousy miss for Nylander.

Sweden 2017 World Champion !

 

Team with best roster won it. Fantastic roster, fantastic players. Really !!!

 

typical Sweden hockey, nothing special in the preliminary round, their absolutely typical wins in a "not a single move to do more than necessary" system but once the knock out round came Sweden restarted the party playing the top top hockey and no one was able to stop them

well, to be fair there was huge ice issues in Cologne during the whole tournament, so probably it was the cause why the puck suddenly slowed down
