WC: GOLD: Finland vs Canada

[Kezaster]

can absolutely end up either way still.

Been a fantastic hockey game. Both goaltenders playing well, all out effort from both sides all over the ice.

The Finns will channel their Finnish sisu especially with the home crowd in the 3rd. They’ll come out flying in the 3rd.

I think Canada has carried the play and been the better team for the most part. Lots of physicality from the Canadian forwards in particular. Anderson caught Heiskanen with a pretty big open ice hit at the end.

The Finns had some good chances of their own as well, could easily have tied it at a couple points.

Should be a fun 3rd period.

I am so superstitious during hockey but NOT superstitious outside of hockey.

I was uncomfortable but didn't want to switch chairs (move to my comfortable "lazy boy") during play for fear it would bring Canada bad luck.

My bladder almost exploded because I didn't want to bring Canada bad luck.

Watching the game without sound, because I fear it will bring Canada bad luck.

So silly.

Just put the sound on mate. And change chair.

I know I‘m very late with the post to the goal from Canadians but I posted in the wrong thread. It was very well played from the Canadians, Olkinuora wasn‘t to blame.

oh well.. Canada has it.. gonna need comeback worthy of Lazarus

 

[The Cannon of Tesoma]

They can do it.

I did but not until intermission - then it's okay.

So far this has been a perfect final match, both teams are playing physical but clean. No cheap penalties so far and you can really play rough.

May the best team win, no excuses when game is over.

Action and pace galore in this game, what a beauty.


That was a big kill by Finland, that's how they win, they really dig in and don't let things get away from them, any other team Canada would be facing today it would already be over, but not the Finns, they are a serious pain in the ass.

60 mins game, 60 mins game.

About what we expected eh?

Best game of the tournament, obviously. Whatever happens, this team is amazing.

The clear 2 best teams in the tournament are putting on quite a show.

Oh come on... Finland has been getting their chances.

I sense a "reverse curse" in your post.

That’s what she said.

Phone typing is not good. I have had so many typos during this tournament..

I'm getting a lot of feedback for this post so I must NOT be alone.

Either that, or I am completely INSANE - that's always a possibility.

 

[Laphroaig]

Great game so far but I'll be pretty pissed off if Canada lets in six third period goals like the Americans did yesterday.

 

[jj cale]

I'm just bracing for the tying goal here in the intermission, getting mentally prepared.

 

[IceHockeyDude]

If we lose, fine, I take it like a human being takes a loss. Still happy about the Olympics.

 

[Czechboy]

This has heartbreak written all over it

And sweet glorious victory too...

This third will be awesome

Why isn't Laine playing?

 

[FinPanda]

This smells like 2016 again and that makes me sad.

Why isn't Laine playing?

Injury and didn't come to play for this tournament.

Just try and enjoy the game. That's the nice thing about the World Championships. I don't care as much.

 

[IceHockeyDude]

Why isn't Laine playing?

Injury, no news about his situation since Columbus ended their season.

 

[The Cannon of Tesoma]

The best part of this all in a case of defeat will be the sudden collective realization these tournaments actually matter something after all.

Haha.

We'll win, regardless.

 

[ORRFForever]

I am cutting the grass at my (Catholic) Church, tonight.

Hopefully God will reward my good deed with a win.

Thats the annoying bit if Canada wins, because this tournament means so much more for Europeans.

 

[Ajaton Azer]

I think that Finnish Lions should follow their winning sablon and not make too much changes to the way they play and there should be enough time to win and score!

Great tempo and physicality, great reffing. Deserved 1-0 for Canada, but lets go Lions.
