It's tough to see in a must win game when it is already a 3on 3 to begin with.

So cheap.

It's 4-4

 

[Chainshot]

Big shot block.

 

[Matty Sundin]

Slashing is one of the stupidest penalties to take and he got away with a few before he forced the call.

 

[jj cale]

It's 4-4

oops, yeah, forgot.

 

[Zaar]

Game. Set. Match.

Finnish PK was solid the whole tournament.

 

[Esko6]

Looking kinda bad, but this team has overperfomed already

 

[Jussi]

It's 4-4

4-3 since it's a powerplay.

 

[Gazewithin]

Really bad 4v3 here. Too predictable

 

[BullLund]

Finland has done absolutely nothing since the 2nd period. One of the weirder collapses I've ever seen, because they looked really good until that.

 

[PanniniClaus]

almost there

 

[Jussi]

[theslatcher]

Rimpinen saving the Finns.

 

[crowi]

4-3 since it's a powerplay.

Of course. Just it's not 3-3 OT.

 

[jj cale]

Hey, you kill this off Finland and you should consider it as a new lease on life.

 

[Old Man Jags]

Interesting SOG stats: Swe - Fin 10:10 10:20 and… 20:3! What happened Ed to Fin in the third period?

 

[McMozesmadness]

God damn. This is tense

 

[Gazewithin]

If Unger Sörum could shoot he would be Wayne Gretzky at this point.

 

[suovas]

Rimpinen has done a lot though

 

[jj cale]

Just need one chance, just one.

 

[Chainshot]

Wow, for how well Sweden's PP has gone this tournament, the Finns have come up huge here.

 

[McMozesmadness]

Massive kill

Major credit to the Finnish D and Rimpinen

 

[crowi]

Rimpinen has done a lot though

He has done more than enough. It's pathetic how the rest of the team played in the 3rd. This is not on him at all.

 

[Esko6]

Kiviharju cant lose the puck like that...

 

[Svedu]

pIENINIEMI SO BAD

 

[BullLund]

As I said, Anti-Midas tweeted.

Has to be some sort of magic because usually when a team "collapses", it's more about them falling behind the opponent in the play. But Finland is just straight-up not even involved in the play at this point. They're just pylons for Swedish players to dodge.
