Russia wins the 2011 World Championship Bronze Medal. Its too bad the international games have such consistently generic scores, this game looked closer and more interesting than the score lets on.

When Zach Budish leads your team in goals AND has a hatty in the Bronze game, not a good sign.

On the other hand, something must have been going right for Zach Budish to dominate so much.
