Didn't the Swedes snub the handshake after the ceremonial puck drop against the USA? This folks is same team that kept firing the puck at an ice crew member. Quite the Salty Team IMO [mod]

Tin foil hats for sale, 2 for 1! Get em while they last! I missed this post, I wouldn't have wasted time responding to his other posts if I did.

People who continually make themselves out to be the victim are the the worst

I'm unsure it was fair to say that the game was officiated correctly. I'm definitely happy that Canada won but the reffing was... interesting. They often let the Canadian lads play but then the Swedes would do the same thing and get called for it. Was definitely a head scratcher at some points, I'll tell you that.

Not sure the guy who said "ANOTHER PENALTY WTF" in response to the trip/tackle of Formenton in a scoring position is the one you want lean on for credibility. That was the easiest call of the game (ignoring vicious slash after it was over).

Still waiting on the list of bad calls / missed calls.

and? The officiating was pretty bad at times. The Gadjovich penalty was weak too, half the Swedish PK's were also weak. Look at the fastest whistle I have ever heard for the first non-allowed goal. Are you saying that the officiating was amazing during the game? Because it wasn't, at all.
 
So funny.

I went over to a buddies place to have a couple of pops and there is this old friend of my pals who has recently moved back into town after getting a new job here. We have never talked hockey and I thought he was not interested in the sport but when i go over there I see he has a touque on with the HockeyCanada logo and I compliment him on the touque and give him a thumbs up. He says "great game eh?, we did it!!"

Then he says "did you see what their captain did with the silver medal last night?. what an idiot" then i proceed to tell him about Dahlins crybaby stuff in an interview and he goes......."what? are you serious? thats why those guys don't win"

We know this in Canada, unfortunately to their detriment it seems many swedes don't or just cant. They cant shake taking on a victim role...................and thats why they fall short so often.

Dahlin was a disgrace, he really was, so was their captain.

Three obvious were hooks on Pettersson, Dahlin and then whoever committed an obstruction the same shift where Dahlin later got his penalty.

Then the obvious embellishments on at least two of the Swedish penalties.

You'd have be completely blind to say that the reffing in the final was fair.

I didn't like the Gadjovich call, but it was understandable. Same with the quick whistle. If Canada has lost it might have been a "shame that happened" but by no means rage, incomprehension or conspiracy theories. The non call on Timmins hooking Pettersson was a wrong, IMO (but Pettersson did dive). This was about as good as it gets, if you had issue with it you might as well not watch sports.

Shock at the trip on Formenton makes you look clueless. That wasn't remotely borderline.
 
I still don't get some people are saying it was a quick whistle, isn't the ref supposed to blow it as soon as the goalie blocks the puck? Atleast on swedish TV you can very clearly see the puck being blocked and a Canadian player shoving his stick under the glove to free the puck

Huh? No the whistle isn't supposed to be blown until the goalie has control of the puck.

Yep, no debate on this one, but if you want to talk about diving, this was the worst dive of the game.
Dahlin and then whoever committed an obstruction the same shift where Dahlin later got his penalty.

Just rewatched from 1:24 left in the 2nd until the Dahlin trip, nothing close to a penalty either way... Closest things would be on Dahlin, Brannstrom, Lindstrom... Canada had the puck that whole stretch.

Not sure what your other examples is, got some time reference? I don't mind looking, good game to rewatch.

Diving on actual calls:
Kyrou grabbed Andersson's arm after Andersson angled (edit: bad autocorrect) him out with blatant interference. He embellished, but I think it is hard to say that the right call wasn't made. Frustrating on the heels of the non call on Timmins, but you can't count that twice.
Brannstrom dive in Gadjovich penalty. Yes, he embellishes this too, and the penalty is far less clear... definitely the softest call of the game.
Dahlin on McLeod -- no dive, easy call
Lindstrom on Katchouk -- no dive, easy call
Zetterlund on Formenton -- no dive, easy call
Lindstrom on Comtois -- no dive, easy call
Gustafsson grotesque 2hander (not called) / Soderlund interference -- easy call, should have been 2 penalties, no dive.

Sorry, you've got nothing here. Happy to listen if you think I'm missing something. I rewatched each one, so not just going from memory.

Relax buddy, if you look at it objectively some of those calls were pretty wishy washy and there's no doubt there was some embellishing. It wasnt egregious embellishing but it was there. In a game that was nearly dead even, having the PPs 6-1 with a lot of 50/50 calls is going to make a difference, regardless if there were PP goals or not. If you were in Dahlins position id bet everything you would mention it one way or another. We all would.

Which calls were 50/50? I just listed them all two posts up, they were all very clear cut. Do we need to collect some video, so people have to face the stupidity of their assertions?

Edit: typo

Did you watch his interview and see what he said?

No, i wouldn't say stuff such as that unless it's really warranted and if you watch the penalties and especially the dirty and selfish penalty he took it's unwarranted.

What an entitled sore loser brat, cant stand him.

youngest defenseman to ever win MVP at juniors, predicted to be better than EK and Lidstrom and going nr 1 at the draft, what an entitled loser! he could learn alot from you, cheering for a team is incredibly hard work and takes alot of dedication

He could learn a lot about class and maturity thats for sure, i don't care where or who he learns it from but it won't be from some of your fans here or his captain on that team.

I don't know any 17 year olds who are classy and mature in incredibly emotional enviroments, it comes with age

I don't see it that way at all. I've never been more proud of a Swedish WJC team. Canada is just better at winning. They always have been.
