WC: GOLD: Finland vs Canada

[NyQuil]

The clincher was Driedger getting hurt on the 5 on 3 goal.

Even as a Canadian, this win for Finland on home ice does MUCH more for hockey as a whole than Canada racking up another medal.

Well, we have 2026 to look forward to once the NHL allow players to go the Olympics. Should be another Gold for sure. IHFF tournaments are good for Europe though.

Congrats Finland.

I'm not going to blame officiating as it goes both ways.

I've got nothing against the Finns, they work hard and play a really good system.

But that call was laughable...especially at such a big moment. I guess maybe we should be more pissed at the rules? That should be reviewable...

 

[NyQuil]

Sour pup. Grow up.

I’m sorry, is it not what is actually happening?

 

[Three On Zero]

Is is really Finns fault refs made a mistake?

Based on some comments its our fault..

Should've just ragged the puck in your own end for 2 minutes in protest

3-2 !!!!

 

[MoeTheHobo]

Damn

 

[HockeyFan101]

The refs spoiled a great game. What a joke.

 

[expy]

2-1 Canada.

For the Finns who remember, this would be justice for Alex Dell and for the disallowed goal in the 1998 final.

If we win, I'll take it as justice from 2014. Even though 2014 was far worse against us, we only got two gift PPs.

Well just stick to best on best golds

 

[ORRFForever]

They deserved better but bad luck got the best of them

I'm not sure it's "bad luck". Bad luck is a puck skipping over a stick. This was garbage.

 

[NyQuil]

3-2 - let’s make it interesting.

How will Canadian hockey fans ever recover from this defeat at the 2022 Ryan Smyth Invitational

 

[RedWingzz]

[DaJackal]

Remember what I said earlier?

DON'T. PULL. OFF. A. SWEDEN.

 

[PWJunior]

Whitecloud with a nice finish.

 

[jj cale]

Whitecloud!!!

It's not over yet, plenty of time to even this.

 

[Zub]

.....

 

[Shocker]

Another penalty missed there, but that's fine i guess

 

[Erikfromfin]

Mertaranta ruined it... started talking about Finland won it 3 minutes remaining

 

[TheGreatOne11]

Sometimes i can't tell the difference between Sweden and Finland, hopefully team Canada doesn't either and ends up winning this in overtime lol.

 

[robertocarlos]

That was 6 on 5 so it doesn't count as even strength.

 

[snipes]

Whitecloud!!

3-2

Still a game. Summon that play to the final whistle heart and soul here. Tie it up next!!!

Is is really Finns fault refs made a mistake?

Based on some comments its our fault..

It's also a reaction to how smug and arrogant the finns fans are in this thread.
