GDT: Game 3: Finland Vs Sweden | 1PM EST 7PM CET | SWE 3 - 2 FIN OT

[king89]

Good loss. The team will grow from this. I prefer to lose at least one game in the round robin.

 

[Seiza]

How's Broberg looking guys?

Best player for Sweden in the 3rd period.

 

[Erikfromfin]

shit happends... Sweden needed goal of the tournament and save of the tournament to get into overtime and Finland was missing Kupari, Kotkaniemi, Lundell, Kakko... overall lucky win

 

[Lepardi]

Thomson, great captain..

He didn't have a good game but do you blame it on him that the ref made a horrible call in the end?

 

[Daishi]

Finland’s defence was doing nothing on that goal. Not clearing the crease, not putting pressure on the puck carrier or the shooter... yet, even while they’re backing away the Swede gets to the rebound first. Wtf?

They play like trash. All game long let Swedes do what they want. This Finland team just does not have the material. It’s not a system issue.

 

[Star Ocean]

*Sigh* that's Sweden's round robin magic taking effect again.

Sadly that will mean an exit vs russia

 

[Brun0]

Lol, we played bad. Helminen is a horrible coach..

could be good thing in the long run..

 

[Daishi]

He didn't have a good game but do you blame it on him that the ref made a horrible call in the end?

Yes, absolutely.

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Yeah. Our men's team didn't have the material either, and still won WHC. It's a system issue.

After Puljujärvi I've stopped believing that the WJC means **** if the outside packet of the player isn't all there

But I've seen Annunen throughout the season and he's been really impressive so far.

Unfortunaly Puljujärvi is a burst. Hyped up too much.

 

[McCullogh]

Shouldnt Annunen have had that last shot? (Not taking anything away from his overall performance which was amazing)
And yeah, that last penalty was garbage.

Happy with the win and the performance. Wonder if that late goal will decide the group.

 

[AB13]

I always enjoy beating our little brothers, today was no different.

 

[kris]

**** happends... Sweden needed goal of the tournament and save of the tournament to get into overtime and Finland was missing Kupari, Kotkaniemi, Lundell, Kakko... overall lucky win

Lol I wonder which country you support

 

[Cellee]

49 straight round Robin games without a loss is crazy

 

[Slimmy]

Haha! Exactly what I expected from this poster. Good stuff.

 

[BusQuets]

Not sure if sweden has the individual skill to win the tournament. Annunen was solid but swedish finishing was brutal. Almost every shot was without power and straight to pads.

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

Thanks a lot Lassi Thomson you f***ing idiot.
3-2 overtime win for Sweden.

Sweden's TOP player tonight Lassi Thomson.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Looked like it hit the hard part of the glove and bounced out because of it. He's fine though.

 

[IceHockeyDude]

Neither of the teams will compete for gold in this tournament.

 

[ijk]

This was not enjoyable to watch.

Quite reminiscent to the last WJC when Helminen was coaching.

 

[Opak]

Yeah, but I don't think anyone cares about that -- Annunen was out of this world good earlier, which got the team into OT in the first place. Sweden got the well deserved extra point.

 

[Lambo]

Better now a unlucky lost than in Play-Offs. Maybe a 2nd place isn t too bad.

 

[Seiza]

Finnish good, finish bad.

 

[FinPanda]

Every opposition in the QF will be hard, Czechs have the home crowd, Russia/Canada/USA are just great teams. I can't prefer the Czechs, the home crowd will get those a boost.

Congrats Sweden, well deserved.

 

[Snippit]

That's the 49th consecutive round robin win for Sweden.

It seems inevitable that they will get to 52.
