GDT: Gold Medal Game - May 22 - Finland vs Canada - Part II

[JoeyBeans]

Putin

 

[Snaibberi]

Oh no. Dictator on the ice.

Putin? Maybe Kim Jong Un next?

 

[OilerPensfan97]

Putin gonna talk about Swedish vs. Finnish metal ?

 

[Hagged]

As we're half of the finnish forwards, who didn't generate any shots on net, unlike Laine, and the Finnish D that got absolutely worked.

Finnish coach is a fool for not getting Barkov/Jokinen/Laine away from the ROR/Scheif/Stone line.

ROR/Scheif/Stone isn't really a fearsome shutdown line though. With Barkov centering, at least they could have tried to shut down ROR's line themselves and play 0-0.

 

[Sempiternal]

Wow.. Vladimir Putin? Amazing.

 

[aphyro]

The Europeans who were trashing Canadian players and posters need to show some respect. The Russians and Finns in the stands, out of solidarity, should salute our Flag and sing along as a sign of respect. Just my thoughts. Nothing personal.

Lol... With your attitude towards the other teams supporters you would not get away unharmed in Europe.

 

[Mehar]

Any chance Toronto takes Laine?????

Always a chance, but Matthews is what Toronto fans like me want.

 

[MardyBum]

To be honest all the hype about Laine is not good for him at all...he should be focused about developing as a player, as for instance Barkov is doing

You're right. He can't focus now. Bust status confirmed.

It's nice to see McDavid was the best player tonight. He is so good he should have been and now he carried them to gold.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

The hell? Putin can't make a statement in English? The leader of one of the biggest nations on earth...

 

[McMozesmadness]

Dude the Russinas ****ing love Putin.

 

[Deen]

Putin is a freakin rock star there.

 

[snipes]

Classy by Putin. Thanks for the love Russia.

We are the best on Russian soil. Love it.

I get real PO'ed when Canadians use this argument. For me this is tournament is in the same tier as the Olympics and Stanley Cup. I have no interest in that World Cup of Hockey in September.

Yeah the World championships are much more authentic than the highly manufactured World. Although the smaller countries like France and Germany might not win too many games it's still good to see them play and compete and the passion their fans have. A tournament where multiple countries are mixed into one team and where young players are lumped into one team is not creditable.

 

[Frank the Tank]

Another gold on Russia ice.

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Okay, respect to Putin for thanking us for hockey.

 

[OilTastic]

some Canadian revenge to the Finns for winning the world junior championships.

 

[Eye of Ra]

i go to the kitchen to get water, and when i come back, i see putin on the ice. hahahahaha wtf

 

[chauron]

As a sign of respect- i hope the Finnish fans also sing along and salute our anthem as well. They need to show the proper respect, since this was not even our A or B team.

So classy, is this winners attitude?

 

[Ralonzo]

Wootin, it's Putin

Crowd cheering "Make Russia Great Again"

 

[Lonny Bohonos]

"You are all now going to siberia."

 

[IAM]

It seems that Canada cares a lot of this victory. Having a party before the game is over. It fits the picturee. Suomi did look like bunch of twelve year olds too. Congrats Canada.

 

[wpgallday1960]

Putin disappointed that the elite Russian doping program couldn't help Team Russia

[donghabs98]

Will we see Justin Trudeau at the World Cup finals giving a speech?
