WC: GOLD: Finland vs Canada

You sure the reason isn´t you being here isn´t that you are unhappy and in denial that you lost?

Enjoy the silver. It suits you :)

Why so triggered little one? No need for name calling, eh? :laugh:
Oh i wasn't being angry. Tone doesn't get across well on the internet but it's meant more like "silly goose"

Can confirm that nobody in Canada really cares about the tournament. That said I personally always enjoy seeing other countries have international success. Its only good for the game.
How dare you
 
Grow up and stop being so easily hurt online

Are we still talking about the 2022 Vadim Shipachyov Tournament of NHL Dropouts? or the fact you just don't like the tournament's quality being mocked when it's a Canadian doing it?
Excuse me!?

Prime Alex Galchenyuk played in this tournament.
 
I don't know whether this was already posted here, but the viewership numbers in Finland for that game were just insane.

Unique viewers: 3.03 million
Average number of viewers throughout the game: 2.35 million
View percentage (% of all tv viewers watching the game instead of some other channel): over 90 % at best

Mind you, our whole capita is 5.55 million. So well over half of the population were watching the game. Hopefully this helps Canadians to understand how much we care about this tournament and why WHC golds are important for us. Hence some Finnish posters may get carried away.
I understand why hockey is an oobsession. This time of year what other sports can be watched or played in Finland ?
 
I mean you haven't won one.... Ever... Right now Finland is quite clearly number 5 when you look at the rosters. There is only one best on best.... U18's/U20's are a specific age group where even in those not all the best players are available to participate. I admire how proud of a group of people you are and the passion behind hockey. It's great for the sport to have another country other than Sweden Canada Russia and USA pushing. But claiming you're the best when you've never won a best on best is a stretch.
Not one Finnish fan is claiming that. It's weird how you cope with this loss.

Pretty much any sport? Weird for a canadian to do a "better climate" flex as both countries have about the same climate. 18 degrees C at the moment with summer coming up here.

I'm not asking or commenting about climate. Finland shows MLB, NHL playoff games and NBA playoff games right now ?

PS. not from Canada

And I know the reason. You live in your own bubble. We Europeans watch our national league, CHL, KHL, NHL, Worlds, Olympics, World Cups… what ever because WE CARE about this sport. You care about your own stars only. You cannot chant for your country if there are not best players like McDavid, MacKinnon, Makar. We either had Barkov, Rantanen, Aho and the others but we still care.

It’s just shows how conservative and cocky is the whole Canadian hockey. In their interviews they might give credit to other teams but they don’t care. Just like you. They just want to win best of best tournament every 10 year, go home and stay happy other countries are still not in the same level than them.

I am just asking: do you really want this game to be only about Canada?

MLB is not even a thing here or in most parts of the world. Some people follow basketball. Many follow the NHL. Real football is big here too and local sports and what not.

I don't know man , I live in Quebec and international tournaments are def not as popular as the actual NHL or at least the Montreal Canadiens, it is what it is, I don't appreciate my fellow Canadians chirping other countries and I'm sure if I was born in a Euro country I'd be much more invested in international hockey. The NHL is the best league in the world and it's in North America I don't see why you got defensive from what I said. I'm not dissing these international tournaments by saying people here dont really care that much about them... I'm just stating what I've noticed from living in Canada my entire life

Go back to crying, atleast you do that right

U20s seems to be.

Just curious about what other sports are watched there. I think viewers would go up in North America if so much wasnt going on at this time of year.

The ratings for hockey in Finland is pretty phenomenal.

Perhaps if NHL all Canadians care about, you should try to have one team that could win the Stanley Cup since 1993. Oilers could have a chance this year.

UEFA CL final was also aired on free tv by the same network on Saturday evening. It's reach was 858K and average viewership 476K.

Couldn't help but notice you left out Puljujärvi and Koskinen. How dare you call them "the others"?

Honestly tho, it seems you actually know very little about Canadian nor Pro hockey and I can only guess never played any respectable level yourself. Seems you have some deep seeded resentment, which is clear from the ranty and accusatory comments. You're mixing up fan comments, your own bias, and projecting that on the players. Shame.

Canada sends their C or Z teams and yet they have 3 players (Barzal, PLD and Chabot) who'd be on their best on best team.

Meanwhile Finland and Sweden had like 2 or 3 guys aswell :D They should re-think before wrinting nonsense, we've won this tournament 3 times now with a scrub team on our standards aswell.
PLD has a 0% chance of making Team Canada with all players available. Not even close. Barzal is unlikely to make it as well. Chabot not a lock either but would likely make it.
 
But to be fair, I don't really mind the bickering about the refs. I've been guilty of that multiple times in the past too lol
