day 4 of world hockey championships

in Moscow, Russia shuts out Latvia 4-0 in the early game, and Czech Republic, trailing 0-2, scored 4 straight goals to beat Sweden 4-2. the Czechs i think are for real, already beating host Russia on opening day. they lead the group with 8pts, Russia with 6 and Sweden with 5. those three will be battling for top spot until the end of the round robin. meanwhile in St. Petersburgh, Canada blew out Belarus 8-0, while Finland beat the U.S. 3-2 in a pretty good game. The U.S. came back from 0-2 down to tie it before Finland scored the game winner on the power play. Canada and Finland are tied for first with 9 pts while Slovakia sits third with 6pts. Slovakia has played one less game though. tomorrow's games include Switzerland vs Denmark and Kazakhstan vs Norway in Moscow, while in St. Petersburg it is Slovakia vs Germany and Hungary vs France.
