GDT: Canada v Finland (Gold Medal Game)

[Hasa92]

The better team won but god damn refs you can whistle penalties during the OT too... -_-

 

[Zub]

Enjoy the gold.

No shame on loosing that, this was a 50-50 coin flop as per any 3vs3. I am proud how well the team played compared to the Germany game.

It did really leave a bad taste, two outrageous team Canada calls not called on the OT - if I may say so, those SHOULD have been penalties. But these IIHF refs, man....

No hard feelings, congrats Canada!

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Impressed by the quality of Canada's hockey teams. Very well coached teams who always know what to do in order to win. It's not always about individual skill, it's about their strategy and how they play to get the goals. Good job Team Canada! Good game Finland as well. It must suck to lose on a 3v3, Russian fans witnessed that as well. Good luck to all teams next year! Peace.

How the hell did Canada wins this tournament?

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Not at all.
Did you even see the third period or overtime?

Congratulations referees. You missed two 10/10 penalties against Canada in overtime. They logged out after 5 vs 5. This is a disgrace for this sport.

But congrats Canada, Comtois was great in this game. Even if Määttä, Jalonen, Ruohomaa, Anttila and company deserved the gold. Make no mistake about it.

better team won

what a gutsy performance by a collection of 2nd, 3rd and 4th line NHLers

To everyone complaining about the refs

 

[DueDiligence]

Canada lead by Ottawa Senator players.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Hopefully Anttila know's that medal isn't an edible chocolate.

 

[llwyd]

Congratulations Canada! That was a bloody tight game, just a little bit of more high end talent and we might not have lost... Still, one has to say: Jalonen is a magician.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)))))))

Good game my Finnish Friends.

Nähdään olympialaisissa.

 

[Czechboy]

Finland played well, head up boys!

Gold and silver in last 2 Worlds with a crazy good best on best team coming up. Things are good in Finland right now!

 

[MoeTheHobo]

Eh, the refs sucked the whole tournament no matter the team, at least they were consistent.

Game could've gone either way and this time Canada takes it

 

[Albatros]

Feel like 2014. Thanks refs..

The refs were bad, but the Finns blew this one on their own.

 

[canswetoxic]

Very entertaining final!

Finland did it well and their keeper was amazing.

I think Canada was more skilled and fun to watch - but tactically Finland was great and deserve all credit !

The keeper almost gave up 2 free goals when he was out of position looking for gold behind his net.

What a Cinderella-story this tournament has been!

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Who seen Nick Paul continue to hold onto his stick during the entire celebration? Lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Oh stop. This is just being a sore loser.
The first "missed" penalty would have been soft. Maybe give one to Mangiapane, but the reffing was bad all game.

Canada looked more dangerous when they got their chances. Finland was sloppy as heck on the power play.

 

[Peiskos]

Canada has now been to 5 of the past 6 finals, taking 3 golds and 2 silvers.

 

[Halberdier]

I felt Canada was the better team with the goal called off too.

There is this thing called offside in ice hockey.

NHL did change their offside rule prior to the current season, but on IIHF championships IIHF rules apply.

Congrats for Canada. Nice goals and you were not the reason that stupid refs did not give 1-2 penalties on 3-on-3.

 

[Natey]

Finland deserved the gold.

Too bad the refs decided to retire before OT

Maybe they should have scored more than 2 goals against a team that limped into the QFs.

 

[Frank the Tank]

Least talented Canadian team in a long time, but they still pulled it off after a terrible start.

Red, white, and gold again!

 

[WolfgangPuck]

Great game
Congrats to Canada

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

SENATORS.

CANADA'S TEAM.

 

[jonlin]

Congrats Canada! Deserved. I just think that 3on3 isnt the way to decide a championship. Atleast when the refs dont have the balls to whistle in overtime. The rules still stayed the same.

 

[Canada is best bro]

f*** refs, f*** Canada.

 

[WeberStreit]

Great OT goal! And a deserved win. The refs missed at least 3 blatant calls against Finland in the first 60 minutes, so I think it evens out. It wasn’t the refs fault, that Finland lost.
