Teemu is still shaking on Finnish tv

5th of January is Finland new National Day.

Canada loses and still one of the most entertaining WJC Tournaments, hate that I have to go back to watching NHL hockey

 

[Systemfel]

Congratulations, Finland. What a game! Vintage hockey!

 

[matzz]

Selanne is almost crying hehehe

 

[Balance]

I'm an American fan. I'm just objective. The refs called nothing on the Fins and gave them 6 straight PP's.

Congrats though, you can't just win by the refs alone. You were a great team, but if you played a 7 game series against Russia/Canada/US/Sweden you would have no chance.

 

[KGL]

Great to see a Leafs prospect lock up the W.

 

[shtorm2005]

Will Russia leave before the anthem?!?!?!?!

Nope, because it's not Canada

 

[projexns]

Well that was entertaining !

 

[holmE]

I'm happy that it was Kapanen that scored in OT, he has been working hard throughout the tournament without much points to show for it. Hope he takes this with him back to the marlies.

 

[Machinehead]

That's enough "stay classy"

 

[stavs*]

hopefully Kapenen comes back to Toronto and tears it up with the Marlies.


Congrats Finland! Suomi!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Summer Rose]

Russia should hold their heads high after this one. They played a hell of a game and came up just short.

 

[Roland of Gilead]

Good game. Congrats to Finnish team. Very talented and skillful. I like it.

What a good opponent you were! And you specially here at HF-boards, no salt but really good sportmanship

 

[Kap-the-Head]

Gongrats, Finland!

 

[hirawl]

Clearly the best game of the tournament. At times it did not seem junior hockey at all.

 

[agent082]

This generation is different from the earlier one. Two overtime wins in the finals.

 

[Lennu32]

Hagman, Ristolainen, Kapanen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All OT winning goals

 

[BertCorbeau]

Was pulling for Finland after watching that kid line play so well. Home country and all.

And Kapanen being the hero when it mattered most was just the cherry on top as a Leafs fan

 

[Mikeshane]

I love how pumped Selanne was.

 

[BB88]

Concrats Finns but this was BS Reffing game

You got dominated outside of 10-15 mins of this game, but sure let's blame the reffs

 

[Fat Doctor]

Feels weird to win again. I was prepared to wait for the next gold for like 10-12 years. Anywho, this will do as well.

 

[X66]

Kapanen played very good all tournament, and took it up notch in the big games, was there a better 200 ft player than him?

Just keep developing!

 

[Keeptdos]

Fins were complaining like 10 mins ago.

Stay classy.

Yeah shouldn't generalise, sorry for that. I was fine with no penalty, let the boys play.

 

[teme]

Massive respect to Team Russia, great game that made hockey gods proud. Bought champagne for the bar, and would've done if we lost. Hockey is the winner today.
