Well isn't that something?

Great game and full props to the Finns, I said before the game that there was no way they would just roll over today and they proved me right.

Heck, they aren't even my team and I had to wake some of their fans up here that the game was still there for them to take if they just kept going at them.

And they did, excellent work lions!!

@Star Ocean ... you no longer have to worry about the semi vs Russia. Congrats on back to back championships.. I'm in as big a shock as you probably are as I thought Swedes were an amazing team.

 

[Ukkosenjumala]

2 NHL players vs 15 NHL players. This is truly an embarrassing loss for sweden. Winning it all this year would make it extra sweet to stick it to all the NHL players who refused to come.

Seriously did Loui play 60 min this game? He was on the ice all the time

 

[PanniniClaus]

Loui Eriksson on the ice, consider me shocked

With the players they have at their disposal and he is out there ....3 on 3 no less . They deserve their loss.

 

[karhukissa]

Jukka Jalonen made Grönborg look like a fool. He is a genious, mastermind. He deserves a statue in front of Vierumäki.

 

[allroundfan]

Let's put the worst line out there 3 on 3. Great thinking. But also congrats to Finland. Well deserved.

 

[FVM]

I can't stop laughing.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

How the hell did Sweden lose this game? lol

 

[Arto Kilponen]

Schoolbook example of what "team game" means.

 

[Lampedampe]

Eriksson on ice... Why..... Terrible positioning by Lundqvist on that goal aswell.

 

[Hostile Offer]

This is an insane upset. It's hard to realize because it's Finland and Sweden after all but this Finnish team should've never stood a chance. But what in the goddamn f*** was Sweden doing in that 3rd period??

 

[Stubu]

Well deserved Finland. You accually won vs the champs

You had to sneak that in.

 

[Ippenator]

Take that blind NHL fans! The difference between the NHL and the top European leagues is really pretty small. Finland has proven it clearly. The same goes with Switzerland and Germany. NHL is MASSIVELY overrated. The best league for sure, but not a yuuge difference still with the top European leagues class, like some blind NHL fans want to believe.

Congratulations Finland, a well-deserved win, cleary the better team.

Well 3 goals were fluke goals.. but they pressed the two in s row Champs Sweden

 

[Pandaman11]

International hockey explained in one sentence: Finland always makes the semifinal, for the rest you just have to wait and see

 

[Tmu84]

I do have a funny feeling the Swedish NHL all stars took this trip as a holiday.. they probably were playing with hangover.

Or i guess the difference with good coaching and bad coaching is just that big..

 

[tobu]

So who does Finland play now? Canada or Russia?

 

[king89]

This shit is f*ucking crazy, praise Jalonen!

 

[GigaChad]

This Hot take didnt age well.

Glad to be wrong
