I think Sweden can feel hard done by the refs, but overlooking that, the Swedes only scored once.
You don't win by scoring once and conceding once. So Sweden wasn't good enough to win.
I sympathised and even wanted Sweden to tie the game so we'd have a real decider, but 30-minutes and nothing. Expected Kähkönen to be player of the game, was surprised by Kalapudas.

Jesus, just saw the interview with Söderström on swedish tv.
Poor guy, kid was absolutely heartbroken fighting off tears, I feel really bad for him. He was great today, had a couple game savers and nothing to be ashamed of. Hope he gets the bronze at least and maybe goalie of the tournament.

Exactly. Plenty of time to score. Also, whining doesnt change anything even tho those were bad calls. Result is what it is and the next year will be a next opportunity to make it better.

Great game 
some questionable calls though... but hey what can one do. It seems to be the same story every year with the iihf refereeing. 
And luckily this tournament is played once per year so sweden won´t have to wait long for a chance to get revenge

Its not that Finland won (they looked better), its how they won that is annoying.
Anyway, hope Finland will win tomorrow.

Nylander is not better than Laine or Puljujarvi, both of whom which will likely play in the NHL just months after they are both drafted in the top 3-5.

Pretty sure the first goal was ES because Rantanen and Hintz simply outworked the Swedes on that shift.

It was directly after a PP, the swedish player had just stepped on the ice. Im not having a bone in this fight, though. Finland deserved the win. Embarrassing seeing some swedish posters having issues with a game played between teenagers.

True, but the pk players were still on the ice after a long shift (the play never left the zone so they could change) so im sure it wasnt to hard to "outwork" them.

14 seconds after the PP. There were all five Swedish players quite close to the net. Two of them were behind the net watching what was going on. Well, Hintz was left alone in front of the net and he scored. That was going on.

some really lame pens, but alas - earwax (reference)
Puljo and Laines really exiting, good for Finland! Good luck in the finals, ill be rooting for the US, though
Why root for a huge rich country so far away, when you could root for your beloved little brother, who defends you against the orcs from the east.

A lenghty step, since there were 14 seconds between the time the penalty expired and the goal was scored. To paint that goal as one of those when the player is barely out of the box and unable to really do anything is just not right. When the goal was scored there were five Swedes and three Finns within 5 meters of the Swedish net. You can hardly hold the refs resposible of the poor defecive play that left Hintz wide open in front of the net.

No, Laine and Puljujarvi have the physical size and strength to both play in the NHL next year.
Willy did not.
I'm kinda hoping Jalonen will be able to lure Juolevi and Laine to Jokerit for next season. Might be better for development than AHL. Juolevi is a Jokerit junior. There's also the obvious example of Selänne...
