PGT: Game 4: Finland 1 - Sweden 2

[Jaska]

Really looking forward to this! If Finland wins I will send my late x-mas wishes to a friend in Stockholm...

Nice to start the tournament wiht a game like this.

 

[BB88]

Let's do this.

Put money for us but this being in NA rink makes me nervous.

 

[JAS 39 Gripen]

I wonder do the Swedes have a big brother complex anymore!

We've never had any form of complex, it's just Finland thats got complexes about everything

 

[Eye of Ra]

Finland is overated. 5-2 win for sweden.

 

[llwyd]

It will be a very even match, I think our roster is stronger though. Good to start the tournament with a classic!

 

[PittsburghHustlers]

Unfortunately the Finns have the better team this year, but the Swedish d-core could make it a pretty even game.

Finlands little brother complex in the Dahlin thread is hilarious

I was kidding about 95 percent

Sure small minorities inboth neighbour countries may have such attitudes. It is not very likely that 100 percent of the people have non.

 

[Patman123and4]

Who cares? How many golds? Yeah, Finns 4 golds against Swedes 2 golds.

What do u mean Who cares? We were talking about big/little brother complex nowdays.

 

[Hagged]

Looking forward to watching Kakko play.

Watching Kakko disappoint you mean. Just like all the highly touted finns before in U20 tournaments.

Finland never brings their best in this tournament. Especially on the NA sized rinks.

Yeah like Pulju, Aho and Laine did! Kakko will be one of the best players in the tourney, he is exactly the kind of cocky guy who doesn’t crack under pressure. Trust me I’ve heard some stories of him from some friends

 

[illone84]

Easy win for Finland. 5-2

 

[king89]

Finland is overated. 5-2 win for sweden.

It would be lovely if you could explain to me why Finland is overrated?

 

[IceHockeyDude]

So everyone are expecting the final score be 5-2. Swedes just expect them to be the team scoring those 5 goals.

 

[Garl]

Amazing, how underrated Sweden is this year. Why is that? Because they don't have Dahlin or E.Pettersson level prospect? Did 2012 team had such a prospect? Maybe 2008 or 2009 teams with amazing talents like Oscar Eklund and Anton Persson in roster?

 

[Erikfromfin]

Christmas is over for Sweden they going down 6-0! Tolvanen with the hatter yeeesh Sweden unbeaten run getting obliterated

 

[Brun0]

We are that much stronger

5-1 Fin

 

[Brun0]

Note our roster missing 6 players

 

[Broad Street Buddies]

Who will be the starting goaltender for Sweden? Thanks!

 

[theslatcher]

Who will be the starting goaltender for Sweden? Thanks!

Ersson or Åhman(they will split the first two games). Ersson is leading Allsvenskan in Sv%, Åhman is leading Allsvenskan in GAA.

Is there any of the 3 Swedes malvakt (close enough?) ahead of the pack or they are all still fighting to be #1 with an equal chance to make it?

 

[JJTT]

Lineup for Sverige, anyone?

 

[Mestaruus]

The streak will end today. Finland takes it

Streak will be Finnished after this game. Hopefully that doesn't mean that Sweden wins gold when that curse is lifted off.

Good point!
Hilarious that Finland thinks they are superior.
Have we all forgotten the 2014 world juniors??
Finland won Gold with ONLY 2 or 3 drafted forwards! Teravainen and Lehkonen iirc.

Simmer down Finland! You could easily lose this one

 

[Saekk]

Kinda annoyed this match is the last game of the night, should have been first to cater to EU crowd.
