i really don't see us winning this one but really can't be unhappy about Silver. this team made much further than anyone expected. if somehow they manage to win Gold, dayum..!

2007 WHC SF - Finland 2-1 (OT)
2008 WHC SF - Russia 4-0
2011 WHC SF - Finland 3-0
2012 WHC SF - Russia 6-2
2014 Olympics QF - Finland 3-1

 

[Novak Djokovic]

Russia 4-1, but Go Finland.

 

[aphyro]

If Russia not win gold with this team they should be ashemd of themself...

 

[vsk92]

Any streams with Finnish commentary

 

[Hasa92]

I'd like to know what exactly makes the majority of the posters think Finns will beat us

Pekka Rinne, the only reason i think we might just win this one.

 

[Canuckistani]

Russia are obviously favoured and are desperate to make up for sochi in any way they can.

But this does look a lot like 2010, when they had all the same talent advantages and all the same motivation in the final vs Czechs.

In that game vokoun stole the gold. Can Rinne do the same? Hope so!

 

[Biggest Elephant Eve]

they don't any coaching in this game, it will be over after first maybe second period...

 

[WinTheRightGames]

How do you say "den glider in" in Russian?

 

[Shyguy]

Go Finland!

 

[Arne]

I think Finland leading the poll tells more about cheering than anything else.

I have Russia as 70/30 favorite. It's amazing that we even made it to medals with this team.

Yeah, gotta agree. This team getting silver is great accomplishment. If Russia loses it is huge chokejob.

 

[RorschachWJK]

Rinne will have to perfect for us to have a real chance here. Also, keep out of the penalty box!

 

[m4tt145]

[Kharkov]

No penalty? Yeah right.

Malkin knows he's too important to take a fair hit in an exhibition tournament
