Our chances are on 2 18 year olds, that's good and bad at the same time.

Need to play the 1st full game tomorrow.
 
Great game and very admirable performance by the Koreans throughout the tournament and over the last 10 years overall. They did international hockey proud.

Respect to Jim Paek, still remembered after being sidekick to Mario Lemieux during their cup runs.

Perhaps he has a mobile. Korea is very connected.

It would be absolutely hilarious if it was actually him and he was posting here between periods. That's Dany Heatley level of no f***s given all star!
 
Good luck against Canada. You usually play a lot better against them then we(Sweden ) do.
 
In this match there was nothing more good than 3 powerplay goals and lucky and sweaty 5-2 victory.
Finland's needs to defeat teams like South Korea 8 or 10 goals difference not a 3 goals difference.

Finland hasn't yet played full 60 minutes at all in this tournament.
And it they won't do that tomorrow Canada will tear us apart.

I haven't actually checked team Canada's roster at once. So no idea who we are playing and what we're facing tomorrow. Think could give it a glimpse now..
 
Jim Paek and several of his Korean hockey players sobbing at the end of their Olympic experience Huge applause from the fans

I wouldn't worry too much.

It's easy to underestimate South Korea.

Meanwhile, Finland always plays Canada hard.
 
About time to step up in this Olympic tournament Finland. One, two, three ... or rather six steps (at least!).

Otherwise all 'ell breaks loose in Finland!

Finland has a very poor winter-Olympics this far - only three bronze medals. And that is worth nothing in a winter-sports nation like Finland.

So if the Finland ice hockey-team too make a mess out of this tournament by losing to Canada in the quarterfinals - then all 'ell breaks loose in Finland, me thinx ... and all of Finland wants head-coach Marjamäkis - if not his head - then his teeth on a plate!

But nothin' is lost yet, Finland.

Remember!?

Let the big boys (Osala, Anttila) of Finland play and leave the pygmies (like Junttila) out this time and game around.

And Finland will be O.K.

Even against Canada.

Coz, hey Canada - don't mess with the country boys!

 
Can someone please tell me if there is a place where I can watch a recap with the South Korean commentary :D? That would be epic.
 
The Koreans played well, and my hat's off to them, but I still must say... I don't think I've ever seen a more pathetic 6-on-5 after pulling the goalie. You rarely see a game where the puck spends most of that time in the end of the team that's supposedly on the offense. Finland didn't even have to try to score, they could just move the puck around to play out the clock - and they did it closer to Korea's net than their own.
 
I also believe the shirtless Korean guy celebrating their first goal waving the shirt moved something inside the Finnish fans watching in the true "we are alike" fashion.
