GDT: Semi-Finals: Sweden vs Finland; Jan. 4, 2025; 15:30 EST

Can’t look. Coin toss

 

[McMozesmadness]

The push from the Swedes in the 3rd was something else. Extremely impressive

This game deserves OT. Should be a good one

 

[Zaar]

Finland managed to reach overtime somehow. The deck will be reshuffled

 

[Svedu]

Just feels like repeating last year, letting like 4 goals against Czechs in the third. Feels like we have a system for 1st and 2nd period and we are too happy with how things went. Feels like a coaching issue since many games we just kinda stood there on the 3rd.

And he doesn't seem to react...

3vs3 is better for the Swedes because of their OP D's.

 

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

Please don’t tell me it’s 3 on 3 OT

Its trash in the nhl n even more so in a tournament. Id have no problem with 4 on 4

 

[Gazewithin]

Big guys play more, more good things happen.

Anything can happen. The only scary thing is that it only takes one on a cold Thelin, but otherwise cool I guess.

 

[Jukurit]

Sweden much better team. Deserves to win this game.

 

[Luolis]

3v3 is such a shitty way to decide hockey games.

Yeah, something’s not right. Finland ran us over in the second and now it’s the opposite. I understand they don’t want to make any mistakes when leading the game but this is next level weird.

Media: "It's awful how the Finnish goalie ruined our nations opportunity to win this tournament. It's hard to watch such a performance. WE DESERVED BETTER!"

I thought only the Canadian media did this.

You guys do that too?........................sounds like the reaction of people from a hockey crazed country where they have actual passion for the sport among the general population.

Imagine that!!

 

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

Bring back 4 on 4

 

[king89]

We're winning it SUOMIII

 

[hockeyprospects9]

This should not go to 3 on 3. Just stupid.

Ur right, pens straight away

 

[Seedtype]

Wait, even the gold medal game would have 3on3 OT? I don't think I could take 20 minutes of that, heh.

 

[Zanon]

Loooool it’s 3 on 3. Clown show

 

[ManWithNoName]

I said 4-3 in OT before the game. Then heart said Swe and brain Fin. Now both say Swe.

 

[CanadienShark]

Ugh two flukey goals by Sweden (I missed the first). Let's see if Finland can finish this. Honestly no pun intended!

It’s psychological- Finland should have called a time out to help the players reset their minds from defence first

 

[FinPanda]

I can't watch this game, I feel super nervous rn

 

[McMozesmadness]

I much prefer 3 on 3 to a shootout

 

[Gazewithin]

EDSTROM STARTING 3v3 WTF

I don't think they do it as badly as Canadian media does to players. However the media does carry water for management, coaching etc likely more than yours does.

 

[Jordan Belfort]

Why do they do 3 on 3? Why not just do 5v5 sudden death

 

[895]

How can anyone watch this and think it’s a good idea to have 3v3

Knowing what I know about
Finnish fans from this forum something tells me it's probably very comparable.
