Why do you bring up Sweden?

Most likely because they're just mad about the current situation! Oh, well! At least it's quite entertaining to read this thread

 

[Roark]

Why do you bring up Sweden?

I just saw your flag, dude. You should be happy.

 

[crowi]

Refs are trash, im starting to believe Vinnerborg would do a better job.

Let's not LEAP to conclusions here...

 

[Esko6]

I can't believe that the game is this even with a finnish FEL team and Putin monitoring his lapdogs games, amazing heart against all the odds.

 

[rduck1]

Shirokov is really good at diving. Also has a decent wrister.

 

[Neinri]

Great teams, great hockey, great atmosphere. ******** refs in any direction.......... 2:2 would be a fair result after second (not saying that it could be 3:2 anyway). Would like that a lot more

Shots in 2nd period:

18-5

Wow

 

[BobDobolina]

Russia vs Rinne.

Good news for Nashville is that Rinne looks perfectly healthy and in form again.

 

[mattihp]

Looks like they wanted to open mouth kiss. Then remember "SHIIIIIT! Putin's laawww!"

 

[Den]

I break you!

 

[JFG]

I just saw your flag, dude. You should be happy.

Ok, cool. Thanks for noticing

 

[TheFeistyFinn]

the best game in tournament

 

[fredligh]

Yea, I feel the same way.

Wow, Artykhin ragdolling some finns!

 

[psycho_dad*]

Throughout the tournament, yes, obviously - they'd deserve to win more, I think. But Finland has been the better team tonight.

Yeah Finland has been better 5 on 5 tonight.

On paper and overall in this tournament, obviously Russia is the clear favorite. It hasn't shown on the ice in the play tonight, but it has shown in the calls.

 

[crowi]

Wow, Artykhin ragdolling some finns!

Wow such amaze, such wow

 

[King 88]

Russia is beatable but refs and russia no change

 

[EK47]

Awesome game!

 

[Hasa92]

Yea, I feel the same way.

That wouldn't have been that one-sided if Finns would have had one or two players like Arrhyukin in their roster too.

 

[Leizi]

Wow, Artykhin ragdolling some finns!

Violent, oversized psychopaths tend to do that.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Man it'll be so saddening to see Erkka's interview if they lose this game. Many great tournaments, against all odds to the finals and never won anything. Especially when there's some controversy about the refereeing in this game.

 

[fredligh]

I just saw your flag, dude. You should be happy.

Yeah sitting on two olympic golds always feel good

 

[Humppaknight]

Where they found this refs???

 

[Matti_A]

If Russia get's the gold it will be a tainted victory, no one can deny that.

Those have to be the three softest calls in hockey history against Finland, simply unbeliavable to see in a championship final.

Add the brutal non-call on Malkin against Haula and you have to seriously question the integrity of the officals.

 

[Traeskalle]

Looks like they wanted to open mouth kiss. Then remember "SHIIIIIT! Putin's laawww!"

Entertaining game thus far
