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

[John Eichel da GOAT]

How many times have you seen guys who are actually competitive in a gold medal game be happy and smile about receiving the silver medal? Nothing but respect for guys who dont care about silver and only want to win gold.

 

[KPower]

Swedish tears are delicious.

So are Swedish berries.

 

[Acetylene]

Well, good night hockey fans. Congrats Canada!

 

[johnny_rudeboy]

Congrats Canada.

 

[KCC]

Please stop bashing Andersson. He's put more time, effort and emotion into this than we have. If hockey is his life, and his country is his love, it's a reasonable response.

It is not a reasonable response. It’s like working your life to get into a baking contest and whipping donuts into the crowd lol. See how ridiculous that sounds?

 

[Canada Drai]

Stinks. And I'm Canadian.

No way that was fair competition.

I'm not even sure what you mean by this.

 

[snipes]

Feels good man

 

[OilerPensfan97]

Forget the refs, forget Sweden. Hart won this game. Steenbergen won this game. Canada won this game. Can't spin this any other way.

It’s disrespectful and shows poor character.

 

[sommervr]

That was maybe the worst officiated game I ever saw. All the Swedes should have thrown their medals.

I am Canadian but that was horseshit

 

[Oyabun]

Sore Loser to toss a Medal, you lost to the better team

He should have hung it around the neck of the ref instead

 

[Stephen]

Wow, that was dramatic. Hopefully he gets his medal back...

 

[Seachd]

How ? He shows NHL club some enthusiasm and entertainment value

I think you have a different definition of "enthusiasm" than everyone else. It also wasn't exactly entertaining.

The guy who caught it, on the other hand...

 

[stickty111]

****in filled the arena with CAN fans

But other than Dahlin and 1 forward, the SWE top guns should be back

Lilly might be back as well.

 

[Canada Drai]

Shout out @Atticus Finch.
Enjoy.

 

[Halla]

As a Canadian leaf fan, pretty much perfect result

Canada won, and Liljegren had a good tourney

 

[aphyro]

Of course you would tough guy

Yeah i would enjoy your goldmedal now that was gifted by the ref

 

[LeafChief]

 

[Bounces R Way]

Canada was due to win one of these games. Dube and a couple other Canadian players stood out. Hart was terrific.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Great team win for the Canadians. Such a fun team to watch and really proud of how they played. Congrats!!

 

[Appleyard]

Moverare. Why just why?

When you play a middling OHL Dman who is not a great skater over a guy who has been top 4 on the best team in the SHL for a month (and was top 4 in all the pre-tourney games and over summer)...

 

[TheTwelfth]

Lias Andersson inverview: "I dont want a prize for losing something"

I love him, trade him to the Penguins if you want boring papercutouts in NYR.

 

[Urbanskog]

Also: Finnish ref. Typical.

Grow up.

 

[Chimpradamus]

Did I miss when a canadian player launched himself onto the ice and used his body to take down a Swedish player while he was about to possibly get a scoring chance?

Did I miss when the canadian player threw his leg out in the most obvious interference penalty I've ever seen 2 minutes before dahlin did?

If you don't even know about the missed calls and when they even happened, why are you even arguing? For the 1574th time, it's not the Swedish penalties we're arguing here. Do I need to repeat that in caps and bolded?

I have no problems with the loss, it was a coin flip and Sweden had the better toss, they were the better team 5on5 and played excellent PK. Canada got the underdog toss in this game. I'm fine with that, it's hockey. I do however have a problem with the refs sloping the ice like that and having a different book for the teams.

 

[TheRexman]

Wow, that was dramatic. Hopefully he gets his medal back...

He already did
