hello and welcome back to another exciting wjc recap.

this game started with plenty of speed and physical play, which led to plenty of chances, penalties, and three different goals with the extra man on the ice in the first 10 minutes of play.

world was the team that scored a few and they had back-to-back goals in just 5 minutes, but directly after that, the momentum totally shifted, with a few world players going to the sin bin, giving asia a two-man advantage.

with the chance to get back in it, asia makes light work of the situation and sends boris bone-breaker out to do some dirty work. it pays off, and asia scores a controversial marker in front of the netminder to bring his team within one.

the momentum shift continued after the previous goal and boosted a winless asia to new heights against world helping them shoot more, hit more, and even find a way to win most of the draws at any of the dots.

thankfully, being a tough club, world were able to weather the storm for 24 minutes, but with 6 left in the second period, it's a surprise tip goal scored by alex ovechkin IIII tying it up and showing hard work pays off.

a few minutes later, the world gets into penalty trouble again and asia coasts into the third.

going into the third period, both squads get a little lazy and take some early trips to the penalty box.

this time, though, players on defence react a little faster than they did at the start of the match, and nothing really happens on the chances.

after that, it's another 14 minutes of grinding and trying to find an opening, but to no avail.

eventually, surprising the fans again, a happy asia levels up one more time and somehow outplays world in the final stretch with more energy than them.

with the advantage and a smell of blood in the water, asia makes light work of the situation for the second time and scores an easy winner on even strength 1:30 into the extra frame after owning the even strength ice one more time before the final buzzer.

 

asia wins 3-2
