[m4tt145]

Kempe havent been good. 1-1 now

 

[WhatTheDuck]

Tons of momentum for Finland right now, I think they tie it here.

 

[bottomofthefoodchain]

Cheap one

 

[Flick of the Switch]

No pleas that PP Finland had almoste gave me a heart atk

There we go
It's happening!

 

[mrpudsworth]

gifted PP, finns probably gonna score now.

 

[Nordic*]

Oh Cmon?? How is that a penalty??

 

[Chimpradamus]

2 min for having a Finn running into him. LOL. It's been like this the entire tournament, no wonder the Swedes are the most penalized.

 

[Prntscrn]

boo ref, boo!

Question:

Why is Sweden and Finland considered to be top rivals?
- Is it because they are both European teams?
- Both top 5 hockey nations who always play competitively against each other?
- Was there a particular game/series where they become hated rivals?

Either way, as a fan of the game I LOVE watching these two teams play.

(PS. I am asking from the standpoint of a North American)

 

[Willy Stylez]

Is that interference? OMG.

 

[gretskidoo]

Finnish refs in the game? Saarijarvi skates into Kempe and Kempe gets a penalty. Makes sense.

 

[DaveH]

LOL that dive.

 

[ulvvf]

Interferance is something we have got a lot of penaltys agaist us for in this tournament.

 

[Saekki*]

That was a weak call, referees giving that for the weak slash in the first period, i think.

 

[Jussi]

Powerkill...

-We live next to each other and those turds walked over us a couple times in the history and then left us to ruskies. Ruud.

Finland was a part of Sweden for over 700 years

 

[Jonteeh]

Haha, how is that a penalty? Home ref.

 

[saintflannel]

Finns need to play with a bit more urgency. The Swedes won every puck battle in that last sequence - while down a man.

 

[tuozzi]

I don't even want a goal from this pp. Embarrassing..

 

[EP40 AKA Lil Wayne]

The finns scoring chances looks more dangerous. Needs to get that second goal soon.

Needs to stop, taking penalties. Söderström been bailing us out.
