GDT: 2016 Gold Medal Game • Russia vs. Finland pt 2

[Mikeshane]

Congrats Finland.

What a dream Tournament for Finland. Great players to watch, beat Canada, Sweden and Russia to win Gold on home ice. It doesn't get much better than that.

Teemu is happy

 

[chauron]

Russians blocked their own goalie, too bad for Georgiev ...

 

[QnebO]

Kapanen is the king.

 

[Quality Oil]

Congrats Finland! Hell of a team

 

[MaxV]

Congrats Finland. Great game.

Great effort by team Russia.

The D went into the goalie.

 

[Phenomenon]

Team Finland has not been the most talented team overall, but the grittiest by far. Love it.

Great win.

 

[Vipers31]

Finland's Sidney Crosby moment.

Svetlakov (AKA Zach Parise) ties it late, yet the home team prevails in OT.

That seriously couldn't have been scored by a more deserving player. The guy who went from the whipping boy to busting his ass off in the games that matter to missing a wide open net in the deciding game ends up scoring the golden goal. ****ing AWESOME.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Congrats Finland!

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

That Russian defense was something special on the game winning goal. Zero composure, but give it up to Finland, taking out Canada, Sweden and Russia. A well earned gold medal, and a slew of potential future NHL stars.

 

[Periwinkle]

What a thriller!!! Worthy of the goal metal game. I'M SO HAPPY!!!!!

 

[Fantomas]

Congrats to the Finns. They were just a bit better.

Starting Georgiev was a mistake by Bragin. But nevertheless the Russian team played wonderfully and I am proud of them.

 

[BruinsBtn]

That goalie bit so hard.

 

[Summer Rose]

Anyone else think it's funny that Kapanen threw his helmet off while celebrating?

[Phenomenon]

finns'd be ashamed, the refs gave them a win here.

 

[islesfan3913]

Congrats Finland. Awesome tournament!

 

[Juzmo]

Nice win.

Saarela.

 

[Keeptdos]

Wow, Canada blamed refs, Sweden blamed refs and now Russia. Stay classy HF.
