GDT: Canada v Finland (Gold Medal Game)

[Albatros]

Finland robbed once again, refs bottled it big time in OT.

Was it a ref that assisted Canada's winning goal straight off the faceoff? Or took a sloppy tripping penalty followed by a pathetic excuse of PK play?

 

[Czechboy]

It's not like Canada dominated their way through the playoffs.

OT win, empty netter, OT win again.

A wild one for sure.

I think they had a perfect PK and only allowed 5 goals in 3 games against Russia, US and Finland.

It's a hell of a run! Credit to them and Gallant for finding a system that works.

Every loss is the refs fault, especially against Canada.

It's ridiculous. Every single time Canada win the gold, it's the refs' fault.

 

[sakux]

Toronto would never make it pass the QF's

 

[Canada is best bro]

Those medals look like them 1 dollar chocolates you get at the dollar store.

Buffalo is going to get a heck of a player in Owen Power!

 

[mikemar1]

Of course it's sour, sour as hell when you get robbed!

Oh boo hoo

 

[ORRFForever]

As a bandwagon jumper, I am proud of the team.

Just bait. Finland had a workhorse team and Canada had their whatever left over millionares.

It's a joke the OT was 3on3. Why did they change to this?

The 3 on 3 was agreed to in 2019. So hilarious to see the Finnish fans being poor sports. Your A or B team got beaten by Canada's Y Team. I had not even heard of many of the players on Team Canada. I thought they would be lucky to make it to the QF. Every European team treats the World Hockey Championship as their Stanley Cup.

European teams like Finland and Russia should be ashamed of themselves for losing to this Team Canada roster. Such a great feeling to win in Europe with this Canadian roster.

Usually when you win a tight game your happy. Canadians like to shit on ppl and actually drag you across concrete - "This was our Z team and your A", "Hockey is our game" blablabla. Moronic behaviour. I didnt know you actually always behave like that. Czechs, Russians and Swedes behave better.

Maybe if you focused on the 95% of classy Canadian fans rather than the 5% jerks you would have a different opinion of them

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Yeah, real gutsy. Against SHL and Liiga players... C´mon man.

and yet Canada doesn't win every year

this is an amazing performance

 

[habsrule4eva3089]

The Canadian Hockey spirit was personified by this team.

He scared the <bleep> out of me in O.T.

 

[CaptainUgly]

Proud to be Canadian!!!

Go team!

Good thing Finland has socialized medicine, the sodium levels are gonna be through the roof in Finland.

 

[Halberdier]

Canadas Z team won Finlands A lol

Play this game 100 times and Canada wins 100

What?

The team Finland you saw here had 2 NHL players, and many Finnish League players.

I'd say that's Finnish C team, and your Canadian team was maybe G or H with 22 NHL players.

According to Quanthockey, there were 60 Finnish guys in NHL this season, albeit some of them were in very minor role.

Karma for the embarrassment by Anttila in the first period.

 

[Talus]

You could think before commenting you know
You guys had 22 NHL players and Finland had 2.

and not one of these Canadian players will be on the Olympic team.
scary eh!

Haven’t said it yet, but congrats to Suomi on the Silver.

Competitive game that could have went either way, once again you guys show what a hockey power and force your country is in this sport that you love as much as Canadians do.

Pleasure as always, things are intense when the games on but it’s always to show respect to a worthy opponent.

So well said, highly appreciate your words. It was a good game, even if we lost. Could have gone either way.
The positive side for loosing - there is not going to be a COVID-19 spike tomorrow

Yawn. we send a bunch of lunch buckets over and they still win gold. The other countries should be ashamed.

I mean it's our game, it has always been our game and will always be our game and anyone with a brain cell knows that. But when all your good players either decline or are still playing hockey that matters another Nation should pick up the scraps.

Yup. Canada's H team won Finland's C team.

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.

Seriously what is this rubbish I keep reading here? None of the teams participating in the tournament had their A teams in the tournament - get over it. That is why we have the Olympics. I'd still rate the Canadian team the best skill wise - and probably one of the reasons why they won eventually. I'm sure every poster on this forum knows the material advantage Canada has on every level.

I'm out.

IIHF - Canada wins “little miracle” gold

 

[Deebo]

The finns have never lost a game where the refs didn't rob them.

We were also missing the best line from the past season's KHL. All players declined due to family reasons or whatever.

None of it matters. Just fun.

I'm a finn and I don't think the shove and Lundells fall were penalties.
The shove was light and Lundell was not tripped, he just lost his balance if you watch the replay.
