By butterfly effect logic, if Kamenev never gets that penalty and is on the ice at the end of the game, the Russians might not score the game tying goal and lose 3-2.

It does require some luck to score late in a game. Not all skill.
 
Great game. Very entertaining. :handclap:

Thanks to both teams and thanks to Russian fans here on HF. :nod:

Ashamed to ask as swedish is our official language, but would you care translating that :)?
 
Yesss what a game that was. Man these WJC games are entertaining. SUOMI VOITTOOOOOOOON! I love the mental strength this younger generation seems to have. I hope that will bring about a crucial change to the national team so that we still have our eyes on the prize even if we are down in this big games and that we can prevail in the finals (talking about our lousy record in finals, too many silver medals over the years).
 
Fake wins not make sense. Canadian knows. Lose twice and gone home at quarter finals but scarcely took "gold" in last year.

With my school Swedish the essential part is "This is hockey. We will score the next one."

Watched it again - Kamenev threw his stick at the end and it seems hurt the official.

But what was the reason for the initial call?

I guess he disagreed with the Sergeyev tripping call and said something to the ref.

He didn't directly hit the official, I think the official got the cut on his hand from the clipboard he was holding which Kamenevs stick made contact with.

This tournament has been a success overall. TV coverage has been great and media has been very heavily on it.

Finland winning this tournament is a great final for media as well. They have had a lot of great stories to be told for the big audience and this is like a positive end to a fabulous sports story.

That win is probably a great boost for the future of Finnish hockey.
 
2 golds in 3 years. Amazing coach, amazing team, amazing heart and sisu. I've never seen anything like this before. Canada, Sweden and now Russia.. no words.

Thanks guys!!!
 
Don't get this wrong but I wasn't worried not once while the game was on. I had this feeling inside telling me to keep calm and wait. After second period I was sure we are going to take poika home.

Never felt like this before in the finals.

Kiitos jätkät!
 
If you want to win, hire a Finn. Jukka Jalonen specifically. What a coach.

:handclap: Can't believe anyone can say if it hits the clipboard or the official from that video.
