GDT: 2018 WJC • Game 31 • Gold: SWE (1) - CAN (3) F

[Slimmy]

Apparently not or it would be your guys having a party right now.

6-1 in penalties for Canada. You can't win a game when you're constantly on the PK, even though Sweden came close.

 

[snipes]

O Canada

 

[Critical13]

Thought Dahlin and Liljegren had amazing game, that pairing was so damn good.

Timmins tips off an otherwise great tournament. Gustavssson was really good too.

 

[nucks88]

Great game Sweden...it could have gone either way...two closely matched teams..

 

[Canada Drai]

I didn’t mind it...guy’s got passion, gives a damn.

Nah, he messed up and then went ballistic. Bad example for a leader on his team. Lehner has had issues like that and he's been garbage in the NHL.

 

[maacoshark]

Not even a penalty before the empty netter, embarrassing ref.

Stop whining. Try to show some class.

 

[Thebesthockey]

Canada GOLD

ducharme still a douche

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

play disciplined hockey maybe

 

[PatrikBerglund]

Total embarrassment from the refs, handing Canada the gold.

Congrats to Canada, not their fault.

 

[Zaddy]

Great game but just sad refs want to be in the focus again. It's the f***ing finals, let them play or at least be consistent in your calls. Sweden should've had 2 penalties max. I'm so tired of this sport always having refs wanting to be at the center of attention. NHL is basically unwatchable because of it and this game left a sour taste in my mouth too. But again congrats to Canada. Really enjoyed watching two really fast and skilled teams go at it.

 

[nucks88]

Well they didnt lose this game because of Lilly.

He was the best d man for Sweden

Whatever....they lost...

 

[clunk]

Finally? They won in 2015.

2 wins in 9 years. I guess 'finally' was the wrong word. It doesn't feel like we win many and when we do, it feels good son.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Terrific game. Canada needed that home cooking to win.


Imo.

 

[PatrikBerglund]

Dirty swedes complain about refs calling the game to international standards. SAD!

They didn't though.

Canada got away with stuff that Sweden was called for over and over again.

 

[stickty111]

Whatever....they lost...

Yeah oh well.

 

[SenzZen]

Congrats, my fellow Canadian hockey fans!

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Timmins was absolutely unreal tonight. I wonder if now that the team has won gold if people might I don't know stop whining about Makar though.

 

[Hybbe]

This was a great game, best game of the tournament by far, but damn this loss stung.

Congrats Canada!

 

[Chimpradamus]

Dirty swedes complain about refs calling the game to international standards. SAD!

The problem isn't that Sweden had penalties. It's that a Canadian player does the identical thing 2 minutes before they call it on Sweden, which happened at least twice. That's just pathetic.

Or is someone implying Canada was so disciplined they only deserved one penalty during the entire game? They both played the same game all over the ice.

 

[Bologna 1]

IIHF officiating right on par with the NHL, embarrassing

 

[lawrence]

Confirmed. No hugs for makar from the coach. He tapped his daughter

 

[La Masse]

Most of Sweden’s penalties were legit. People blaming the refs arent very intelligent

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

After the first, you could argue either way.

Refs helped Canada a lot in this game.

 

[Oyabun]

Canada was the better team. Deserved win.

You can complain about Sweden not getting PPs but the penalties they got were 100% deserved. Quit being better.

They weren't but it doesn't matter now

 

[maacoshark]

Great game by Sweden. That game could have gone either way.

 

[PG Canuck]

HEYYYYYYYYYY HEY BABY

 

[Slimmy]

You can, but it’s harder.

Well, it was going to wear them out at some point.

 

[The List Of Jericho]

dump the puck in stop trying to be Dahlin and dangle through 3 players!

He got in the zone, got slashed before he could do much, not sure what you saw

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Actually thought the calls were all there, but Sweden did play a great game. Probably good enough to win. There have been a lot of years where I feel like Canada was robbed.

Now someone else gets to have that feeling.

 

[nhlfan9191]

I'm Canadian but put $ on Sweden to win with 7 to 1 payout

didn't watch the game, how come Canada got 5 PPs and Sweden got 0? Was it deserved cause I feel like I got jobbed

Because they took penalties. Don’t try and turn this into some conspiracy theory. Sweden deserved their penalties.

 

[Woodhouse]

Just reading back through...

it was Moverare (who I did not think deserved to be, objectively, at the tournament, let alone top 4) with the mistake and giveaway on the GWG.

Dahlin was not on ice.

I saw number eight smashing his stick into the glass repeatedly after the GA. He was on-ice. Nvm, wrong GA.

 

[jj cale]

6-1 in penalties for Canada. You can't win a game when you're constantly on the PK, even though Sweden came close.

You lost, you would not be complaining or saying you didnt deserve to win if it was the other way around.

and you took BAD penalties they mostly had no choice but to call all game long, your lack of disipline killed you, thats on sweden.

 

[lawrence]

Ummmmmmm that was the best officiating I’ve seen like cmon.

 

[aphyro]

Don't take penalties.

And how are we supposed to not take penalties when we werent allowed to look at the Canadian players ?
