Exactly. Penalties were fair, undisciplined kids. Proof is in the pudding and how their captain reacted when given the penalty. He would be crucified if he was Canadian. Not acceptable in our society

Yes, we're all well-versed in how the Canadian media likes to crucify children, like what they did to Virtanen. A+ 4 gold stars. Glad it's a source of pride for you.
 
I have not seen the game, but the fact is that IIHF referees do not follow the unwritten rules of NHL, where refs try to keep # of penalties equal. Worth to mention is that Canadian coach said before the game that they had focus on disciplin. They had too many offensive zone penalties. So this might be the outcome of their focus.

Try lying to yourself as much as you can and come up whit excuses, again, the penalties where 2mins to 22mins..
 
What's the f***ing problem. At least we lost vs Canada, not vs a defensive boring team like Russia or Finland.

The small country of Sweden (about 10 million of inhabitants) played a great game vs Canada except from the last period.

Currently we are number second in the world and the next time we most probably learn from our mistakes (too many stupid penalties) and win it all becoming nr 1 in the world.

We have to learn playing tough but fair, both being better in giving and receiving clean hits together with correct timing, they should hire Douglas "Crankshaft" Murray as consultant in this area (or Kronwall).

And I thought they had begun to call embellishment

Sweden is a solid country.
 
Outside hockey its worlds leading nation in tech. Soon they will create refs that arent afraid calling nucks for penalties. Iam embarrassed for canadians and the refs. How is it feel winning like this?
 
You know what is physcho is complaining about the refs when they quite literally took a good goal away from Canada. At the very least it was a borderline call and yet so convenient to ignore it while complaining about everything else. Sweden was overwhelmed by the moment hence their undisciplined play and that same mentality lead to their captain throwing his medal into the stands. Leader of the team couldn't remain composed.
 
swedes got 22 minutes and nucks get 2 min yeah right. 18000 scream as a canadian falls, refs call it every time.
 
Since when is it endorsed in Canadian hockey to dive and flop around like Italian soccer players whenever nudged by an opponent? Is this the future of the NHL as well? Flopping around while banning goons and enforcers to make it "family friendly"?

It feels golden. But that doesn't likely mean a whole lot to you so try this on for size, you know the feeling you get when you have won a LOT of silver medals? Better than that. Much much better than that.

What's it feel like when you take penalty after penalty ? I wouldn't know about that.

Floppy leaves win it. My grandma has more strengths in her legs than this canadian team. Of course they dive around, but swedes should be custom to play box play against canada in finals. watch the history.

Canada needed PP half the game to win.

Give USA respect for their game, they stand up, didn't see a dive from them all tournament, even against Swedes when they got behind. Nucks need to learn how to win fair.

Hey do you think they'll start to put netting around the whole rink to protect fans from flying silver medals?.

2-11 in gold medal games. Ouch! That explains the salt.

Really just stop. Every time when Canada wins it’s the same story. What with the Swedish victim mentality? It’s pathetic.
