Get a grip, you always have to beat the refs as well as your opponent, nothing new. However strong comeback, too bad it wasn't enough...
Welp.. See ya next year with an even worse center-depth. And.. the.. same.. f***ing.. coach.

I can't think of anything in modern sports as depressing as Sweden's failure in the playoffs of this tournament year after year

Wow, what is it with Team Sweden?
Juggernaut in the group stage, but time after time they fall short in the knockout rounds.
Congrats, Russia!

But hey atleast we're going to go out in the same fashion next year 
Lets make it 56-0
Lets make it 56-0Excuse me what? 3-on-3 OT is playing man to man defense. He had a perfectly normal 1 on 1 situation and just got beat. No one to blame but himself there.

Think the better team won at the end. Trash goaltending by Askarov kept the Swedes in this. Sandin had a terrific game. That last play was a tough one.
Russia has a great team.

I am a Leafs fan and some of you Leafs fan needs to chill
Sandin played great, but that play he wasn't very good
Lets move on. Russia deserved to win that game and won the game

This is true, although the 3rd period wasn’t quite as bad in the PK department.
Not saying Sweden wasn’t challenged, but I think Russia was the better team over the balance of the game.
You can’t say Sweden didn’t have their chances to win the game.

Romanov and Hoglander not in the top 3 awards is laughable.
At least the hog one is obviously because the coachs are pissed.
no excuse for roma

You know how it is here. They defended a Kadri crosscheck to the face by blaming the victim

I agree, just like how its ridiculous for the gold metal to end in a shootout.
Russia was the better team yes. But Sweden did let it some crappy goals too..

The Bragin Balls team strikes again.
coming from behind in the third to win the game.
Great job, boys!
good game by team Sweden as well, they played hard, we were just a bit luckier in OT

Exactly my feelings.
People can blame the refs if they like, but there were some mental lapses they need to be hold themselves accountable for.

Team Finland head coach (men's not juniors) Jukka Jalonen said a week ago that Sweden's system in both men's and juniors gives the opponent too high of a chance of winning.
