...Canada and Russia will be in the IIHF World Champoinship tournament in Bern, Switzerland. The United States lost to Russia in the semifinals 3-2 in a closely played game. Robert Esche (KHL) started in net for the Americans while Ilya Bryzgalov (PHX) played outstanding in net for the Russians.
U.S. got on the board first with a Dustin Brown (LA) goal. But Ilya Kovalchuk (ATL) couldn't be kept down and scored the tying goal, then the Russians took the lead. U.S. came back to tie it at 2. However, the Russians would come away with the win and a chance to defend their title against Canada.
