[Capt Nico Poo]

Jalonen going to NHL to teach how to coach ?

 

[kihei]

Congrats, Finland. That was absolutely awesome and very well deserved.

Embarrasing to be on the PP for basically an entire period and not score. Canada needs to change up their playing style, the rest of the world has figured out how to beat em.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Congrats to Finland. Enjoy it!

When your team scores 1 goal and goes 0 for 3 or 0 for 4 on the PP, you don't blame the goalie.

He was awesome against the Czechs.

Seeing as you're a Flyers fan, I'm pretty sure I know what your agenda is.

Yes he was good last games, he was awful today and the MAIN reason this isn’t going to OT and got destroyed by a non NHL goalie.

GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

Too easy for Finnish e-sports organization ENCE

 

[WaW]

Now this is an excuse I will not get behind. It’s not even close to accurate.

You're right, it's more like a C team, but Finland basically fielded a B team so that excuse is a wash.

The Americans and Russians are the ones who should be embarrassed.

I propose that this competition must always be held in Slovakia.

 

[saskriders]

When did a world champs team last have a team with less than 50 NHL games during that season?!

Why did they have so few of their NHLers?

 

[wpgallday1960]

Congrats Finland! Some outstanding goaltending especially in the 3rd. Murray needed to be better especially on that 3rd goal.

 

[Dominance]

Congrats to Finns! Incredible performance from that group. Truly amazing. Those guys will cherish this forever. Crazy route to gold, knocking off Sweden, then Russia, now Canada.

Unfortunate that this is yet another game where I am left with a sour taste and the thought “we take this game 8 or 9 out of 10 times.” But I’m proud of our boys. Nobody thought this decrepit version of Team Canada would get this far, either, but they played a hell of a lot better than loads of star-laden rosters have.

 

[PG Canuck]

Why ?
Not many players of this Canadian team would be selected to play for an Olympic team.

How many would be on Finland’s team? How many NHLers do they have?

 

[QnebO]

Not pretty sry

But its miracle on ice for us

 

[mattihp]

Mörkö team was better than Canada F.

 

[illone84]

Love my Finnish brothers and sisters!!! Let's go Suomi!!!!! PERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRKELE!!!!!

 

[king89]

This team

 

[Keeptdos]

Well, what can I say, to me this might go down as maybe the Biggest win In Finnish hockey history considering the odds against them.

Congrats you guys...........................totally deserved.

No, that to this day is 95 WHC gold medal in Sweden over Sweden.

 

[c9777666]

Feels like this was karma evening things up for what happened to the Finland women a few weeks back

 

[Ukkosenjumala]

Why ?
Not many players of this Canadian team would be selected to play for an Olympic team.

And not many players IF ANY would be selected to the Finnish olympic team from this team either

 

[LOFIN]

Jukka Jalonen I beg you, I beg you to argue that coaching doesn't matter.

 

[kudymen]

Congrats to all the Moomins in the world

 

[ebergeist]

Is this in english?

Finglish.

 

[Lauro]

I'm sad that Canada lost, but only their 3rd championship and it means more for their country, so congrats Suomi

 

[Sanf]

Well this is something... Since 95 never seen anything seen like this... This is pretty insane...
