[KCC]

looking forward to the cheesy skills competition to end a great game.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

lol, Demers, what was his problem??

 

[Canucks LB]

I cant believe how good edler has been, looks like a guy who is reenergized

 

[hallonskal]

What a great gold medal game! One of the better World Championship games I've seen in a long time.

 

[Harikkerk]

Canada 1 ,2
Sweden 3'rd and slightly better in the 4'th.

I'm not a fan of shootouts so i usually call it a draw, Just random and timing ****, a division 4 team could beat any of these teams in a shootout, it's just a lottery.
Goalie wise Sweden are stronger, shooting wise Canada bla bla bla.
Good game, 3'rd and OT were really good periods.

 

[Plural]

Too nervous.

Makes sense. I'll let you on a secret, don't worry too much. Nylander will decide this for you guys.

5 shooters for each team?

Canada:
1. Scheif
2. Marner
3. Mac
4. O'Reilly

1. Nylander
2. Ek
3. Backstrom

I know what the public opinion is but I love shootouts

I don't mind them nearly as much in IIHF games.

Lol, Sweden has not been better in OT up to this point.

What a great gold medal game! One of the better World Championship games I've seen in a long time.

Was it the sloppy play, the fluke goal, or the embellished play?

 

[TimeZone]

Shootouts are beyond awful. What a terrible end to such a fun game.

 

[Loffer]

Almost as entertaining as WJC final this year (and almost any year). But not quite. Since WJC is WJC

 

[Nakawick]

BS way to decide a championship.

 

[Plural]

Lol, Sweden has not been better in OT up to this point.

It's up for debate.

 

[amethyst]

Aw a shootout? So anti climatic.

 

[Zybalto]

Congrats to both teams for showing up. Great game.

Now we get to decide this hockey game by not playing hockey.


As you can see, I hate gimmicks to decide medals. Why not just let the gold medal game players play till theres a winner? Its not like these guys are doing anything else tomorrow.

 

[Canuckistani]

Shootout

**** you IIHF

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Awesome game. It's pretty unfortunate Nylander couldn't get a point though

 

[Pyrophorus]

Nylander will decide this for you guys.

I fully agree.

 

[Leafy Undergrowth]

****ing shootouts.

 

[trilobyte]

Is it okay now to say how much I hate shootouts

 

[syz]

Eh, channel is changed.

Boring game until OT.

 

[nothingbeatshockey]

5 shooters for each team?

Canada:
1. Scheif
2. Marner
3. Mac
4. O'Reilly
5. Giroux

Sweden:
1. Nylander
2. Ek
3. Backstrom
4. Lindholm
5. Lindberg

If they are tied after those 5 do they recycle the same shooters, or is it wide open?

 

[clunk]

The shootout deciding the gold medal game is underwhelming. Gimmick.

 

[hallonskal]

Was it the sloppy play, the fluke goal, or the embellished play?

A mix of them all.
