I won't lie and say I wouldn't be frustrated if those same calls had gone against us and we lost. But I think when cooler heads prevail and everyone goes back and looks, the calls were correct.

Again, it's not so much about the calls and the standard they reffed for Sweden. It's the constant non-calls for Canada that is at issue. Again, when a Canadian player does an identical play 2 minutes before a Swede is penalized for it, when the penalties in the game end 6-1, it just effing stinks. Talk about classical home refs. They could've had Mr Magoo reffing in the Canadian zone with better results.

 

[biotk]

Is the goal to have equal PPs? I am not sure I understand...

The goal should be to have the same standard for both teams - that didn't happen.

 

[Lepardi]

Wasn't he the guy that got beat on the 1st goal and the guy that turned it over for the 3rd?

Turned it over on the 3rd thanks to a blatant slash by the Canadian.

 

[La Masse]

Who was the Sweden player that threw his silver medal in the stands and then threw a tantrum lol

 

[kabidjan18]

This is seriously something I see after every NHL game, and now we're bringing it to the WJC. Winning team "yeah! we won in spite of the refs! We beat the refs!", losing team in the same game "they won because of the refs, refs handed them the game, home cooking (etc), refs won." And now it's the refs again.

I thought the game was as fairly called as one should expect.

 

[Blender]

1. Sweden did not deserve all the penalties the refs handed out

Yes, yes they did. You can argue that Canada got away with some stuff and Sweden should have had a few more power plays, but Sweden took some really stupid penalties and paid for it.

 

[Ainec]

Lias Andersson stock rising

 

[TMLeafer]

Throwing your medal is pretty fricken stupid. I understand he's not happy.

 

[TruKnyte]

Pettersson tosses the medal lmao

*Andersson

 

[The List Of Jericho]

Haha at the Swedish kid Anderssen throwing his silver medal into the crowd...no backsies.

 

[Canada Drai]

Sweden cheap shotting all game and throwing medals over the glass. Zero class and sportsmanship. Grow up.

 

[SullivanT]

Throw the trophy over to

 

[KCC]

lol he threw the medal into the crowd. hilarious. I get he’s upset but grow up. Geez.

 

[bukwas]

Lias will regret that one day.
Can't win em all.

 

[Oyabun]

No they didnt. Sweden was taking dumb penalties that were deserved. I thought Sweden got away with alot.

Of course you did

 

[Canada4Gold]

Don't give him that Silver trophy too, he might just chuck that over the glass as well

 

[jj cale]

I wouldn't put a fan of the winners saying "you are second best, congratulate the better team" in the "class" drawer, so I have to wonder who you are to talk?

Your boys are throwing their silver medals over the glass into the crowd now, hey guys...................learn to accept losses better.

 

[sandysan]

Refs helped Canada a lot in this game.

It's the linesmen's job to fish the puck out of the net.

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Feel pretty fortunate to have won that, the team's passing was so bad not to mention the PP. The Swedes were faster and stronger on the puck and far more aggressive (though also stupid with those penalties). Anyways, weird that this underdog Canada team won the gold while some of the past powerhouses fell short of the final.

Also please ffs no more head coaches from the QMJHL.

I agree that Sweden was, for almost the entire game, more aggressive and harder on the puck.

Such a weird game. Usually Canada is in the role of outworking the other team and being undisciplined. Odd that we basically won with someone else playing our game, if you know what I mean.

 

[Trap Jesus]

Hopefully that idiot throws that massive trophy in the stands too

 

[Thebesthockey]

kid just dropped in character for nhl club

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Why did they go get his medal for him after he threw it in the crowd.. Screw that. Let him cry
