When I was saying to sad Finnish fans after losing to Russia in group stage... it's just group stage and no catostrophy there. You won Canada, you won Sweden, you won Russia now. Never give up. Like Sweden was great in group games and in 1/4... but that team did not face any real problems unlike Finns, thats why they melted in 1/2 and in bronze medal game.

I won't critisize refs or our team or talk about luck. This is petty. Our team second time in a row in finals, I'm glad of it. I am also glad that there are more and more strong teams. Of this tournament I liked Suomi team, our team and US team. They all deserved medals. Silver medal not worth? It's worth and throw a stone into me who disagree.

Congratulations to Finns! :)

Thank you! Russia had a great tournament and would have been worthy winners.
 
Great game, great team, great tournament. So proud of our kids. They were down in pretty much every game but never out.

Respect to Russia too. Two deserving teams in the final.
 
From what I can count, if you take all penalty minutes in the Canada, Sweden and Russia games against Finland, in the 3 combined games they have 78 penalty minutes compared to Finlands 22, it does seem slightly suspicious since it was on Finlands home ice, oh well congrats Finland
 
Let's now start with talks "Finnish Head Coach Jalonen can coach in NHL" talks. :sarcasm:
 
Thank you Team Russia. It was an amazing hockey game.

Feels irrational but great. Speechless.
 
I think it's funny how people automatically assume all teams must have equal penalty time. Maybe some teams don't make as many mistakes deserving of penalties as others?

Not a jab to anyone, just pointing it out.
 
Nice, Vellu got a medal! His mom still owes me a toy gun though. (She confiscated mine when I was a kid.)
