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

[aphyro]

So classy, is this winners attitude?

Yeah... sore winners is worser than sore losers.

No reason to be mad because Canada was clearly better and deserved the win. Finns can't win a tournament without losing one game. Too bad.

It happens very rarely that teams run the table, wasn't Canada last year like the second or third time it happened?

 

[Arpeggio]

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

He's in Russia dude...

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

Wow... That was just so painful to watch. It's just baffling how terrible all our players looked today. I know we don't have the depth of Canada, but it's just painful to watch our team forecheck with one forward and trap all game long. It looked like we were the ones protecting a lead. We played scared, nothing like our teams in U20 and U18. Hopefully they bring their attitude with them.

 

[Like Wall]

Did he promise to invade Finland or something? Didn't understand a word that snitch was mumbling.

 

[OilerPensfan97]

"I declare war on Canada for this win"

 

[agent082]

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

How it is elite?

 

[McPuritania]

No, he'll be throwing "elbows".

What a monster.

You're right, all this chest thumping, so stupid.

 

[Sempiternal]

In his own home country? And let's not pretend that russian is exactly a small language either...

Yeah, I was not offended by him speaking in Russian.

 

[Riggins]

I love how Putin has to watch Canada win gold in his country every time.

You guys had a great tournament. Congrats on Silver. Finnish fans are great.

 

[SometimesY]

Actually thought it was a nice surprise and a nice speech from Putin.

Yeah, I'm pretty fine with this too - Canada was just so much better, especially in the 3rd period. In any case it's looking madly good for Finnish hockey in general, so can't really complain - and can't wait to see all our young stars to mature and get even better!

 

[Aaaaaaaaaaaaa]

Nice medals.

 

[canuckster19]

Yeah... sore winners is worser than sore losers.

Yawn, you're just bitter cause you can't trash talk properly like last game. +1 for effort though, -1 for grammar.

 

[McPuritania]

they just scared to boo him! haha

Putin is really popular in Russia. They love him.

 

[GermanNuck]

I thought that Putin might hand out some hardware there.. Weird show

 

[JoeyBeans]

How it is elite?

Because they pull it off every sporting event.

Uhm, pretty certain his english is absolute garbage. He needed translator with him when he talked with the F1 guys couple weeks ago, in russian.

You have a wonderful team, very young. Wait until next year.

 

[The Kingslayer]

Putin was just in the neighborhood I guess.

 

[Brewsky]

Wonder how Puljujarvi would've fared in this tourney, as much as Aho looked to be a driver in the WJC and WC, I thought Puljujarvi was better in the WJC, would've loved to see what that kid could've done in the WC.

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

Mike Matheson is something else man.
