Unreal. No idea how Finland managed to win that one. Shows that i need to shaddafakjup about our hockey team and just watch the games.

 

[Jussi]

Fifa world cup next month

Yes, that is where Finland and Canada can decide who really is the better. Oh wait...

 

[Ilyeu]

Rinne stole us this game. I really liked this Canada team, shame to see them go.

I liked this team too. It's a shame we always get burned recently by incompetent coaching in the QF, by soft coaches who decide to play weak players.Leaf Management know Kadri sucks.
Buffalo fans know Myers suck. Scriven, he belongs to the Oilers. Bring people who know how to play, at least want to win. Not garbage weak soft players, with no fire in their heart.

It's not like we sucked at this tournament in the past, it's that Hockey Canada is making a joke of it going forward. Bob Nicolson is a bum.

 

[Starbuds]

Scrivezina reverts back to Scrivens.

I like the TSN headline for this game : "UGLY FINNISH"

 

[Slimmy]

Congratz Finland! And good of you to send them pesky Canadians home

 

[svartgul]

Congratulations Finland. I hope you'll win it all unless we'll face each other in the finals.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

I'd take an Oilers playoff spot over Canada winning this tournament....when we won, this news hardly makes a blip on the screen...when we lose, it hardly makes news

Congratz pesky Finns, at least the medals will go to countries that actually care about this tourny

 

[oobga]

Myers would be a perfect Oiler. That's about all I got from this game.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

No, im upset Canada and USA keep bringing **** rosters to this tourneys and I'm glad to see them pathetically lose every year

You are aware that most of our best players are currently playing in the NHL right?

 

[JayKing]

Yes, that is where Finland and Canada can decide who really is the better. Oh wait...

nice

 

[pepty]

Congratulations Finland.

 

[crowi]

I wish we had some young guys like Teräväinen / Keränen out there getting experience like Canada had for example Scheifele.

 

[Jussi]

Easy solution - refuse to play at the WHC without a sufficient reason - not going to be selected for the Olympics

That's not how things work in a civilized society.

 

[Finnswiss]

This is really amazing. Most Finns in this forum called this team a B- or even only a C-team and they managed to reach the semifinal!

Ok, now I weren't any more suprised if they advanced even to the final game!

 

[The Chiddler]

Canada had ample opportunities to win the game with the guys that played.

Does that mean that Tippett didn't make some stupid decisions, and that Rielly didn't deserve to play more then 5 minutes a game the entire tournament?

I thought Rielly played better then a couple of Canada's D men, but I also thought Huberdeau and Monohan play better then Burrows and Burish, so what do I know?

 

[mindfly]

Canada should start taking this tournament more seriosuly, where are all the 25-35 year olds that didn't make the playoffs or was eliminated early? Malkin went to Russia but Crosby stayed home...

 

[m4tt145]

Congrats Finland!

 

[TheFeistyFinn]

man i can't believe we won. such a ****** team. i wanted to see canada's young guns win this one :/

 

[agent082]

Erkka is a lizard.

 

[satbank]

Can someone gif all the goals for this game please.

 

[JJTT]

man i can't believe we won. such a ****** team. i wanted to see canada's young guns win this one :/

This.

 

[Jussi]

You are aware that most of our best players are currently playing in the NHL right?

Well let's see, how many Olympians would be available for this tournament and how many are still playing in the playoffs? Isn't your best player technically available?

 

[ninetyeight]

We clearly don't bring an elite team here

Lol who did? The finnish team on paper is like the worst team in 20 years or so. I think Canada together with Russia had the best individual players.

 

[BobDobolina]

The poster I responded to was belittling Hockey Canada, not the specific performance at this tournament. My response was appropriate considering recent international performances of the hockey team representing the Russian Federation.

I am not sore about this loss. Ambivalent is probably the proper term (I follow it if I have the time, but if we lose? - c'est la vie); however, I will defend Hockey Canada when people use this game as a representation of how well the program has performed as a whole.

You are a great patriot, sir.

 

[Smash88]

If i would be in Team Canada .. I would be really ashamed.. Absolutely disgusting performance. And you obviously care because you are here.

Wasn't disgusting at all. Canada didn't play all that bad.

Finland were better in the end.
