Russia wins the gold

After team Russia won the IIHF world championship defeating Slovakia (6:2), thousands of people went to the streets of Moscow. The Tverskaya street almost turned into a pedestrian zone where the fans with Russian flags are congratulating each other and chanting "We are the champions!". Also hundreds of cars are moving to the direction of Sheremetyevo airport, where Zinetula Bilyaletdinov's team is arriving at 3:15, reports Sport-Express correspondent Marat Araslanov.

Alex Ovechkin assisted on two goals and Alex Semin scored twice vs. Slovakia.

Russian woman is shouting, "Ovechkin, sunshine, look here, our handsomest, awesomest man, I wish I were young..." :-)

Semin scores first goal after Datsyuk's pass to Ovechkin who sets up Alex Semin.

Russia 6, Slovakia 2.
Goals:
Semin, 10 (Datsyuk, Ovechkin), Perezhogin, 26 (Popov), Tereshchenko, 33 (Zherdev, Shirokov), Semin, 35 (Datsyuk), Datsyuk, 43 (Ovechkin, Semin), Malkin, 58 (Nikitin, Nikulin)

Chara, 1 (Surovy); Chara, 49 (Shatan, Surovy).

Shouldn't Ovechkin have gotten three assist instead of two?

Just before the second Semin's goal, Datsyuk stole the puck from a defenseman. It was a beautiful play, but no assist for OV.
Overall, it was more of a Semin's and Datsyuk's game.
