Host Finland outlasts Canada, completes 'unbelievable' run with world hockey championship title

TAMPERE, Finland -- Sakari Manninen scored on a power play at 6:42 of 3-on-3 overtime and Finland beat Canada 4-3 on Sunday for its fourth world hockey championship title.

Host Finland completed an Olympics-world double after winning in China in February, joining Sweden in 2006 as the only countries to win Olympic and world titles in the same year.

"It's unbelievable," Finnish coach Jukka Jalonen said. "You can't even understand what has happened. Maybe in the summer, we can figure out what really happened. But three months and two gold medals -- it's unbelievable!"

Ottawa Senators defenseman Thomas Chabot was sent off for hooking, setting up the winning power play.
