They were down by one goal in the third period, coaches usually pull the goalie with anywhere between a minute and two minutes left in the third period when they're down by a goal or sometimes two, to get an extra skater on the ice and try to get the tying goal. Coaches will do the same thing when a delayed penalty is being called, pull the goalie and put an extra skater on the ice until the team getting the penalty touches the puck.
Edit: Well we spanked the Russians, great all around effort by everyone, Doughtey is really coming into his own in the tournament, the kid is playing solid defence, Luongo made the saves like he should, Russia just looked flat.
Gold, Silver in womens bobsleigh as well, saw thew runs after the game, those women were flying.
