[Luolis]

Well enough of that ****, hopefully Canada destroys sweden tomorrow

 

[bDtKarlsson]

Hahaha Nordström!!!

 

[Spender]

Game over, Finland.

 

[Matti_A]

Ok, the TV is turned off, I've seen enough, the Finns had no chance today.

Strålman hitting Finns and Nordström scoring, beautiful!!!!

 

[sadpanda]

Can also someone explain me why we won over USA that has easily better team on paper than Sweden yet we are completely outplayed in this game?

how is usa better on paper?

 

[FVM]

Ok. There it is. Congrats Sweden. Your roster is just that much better.

 

[bDtKarlsson]

Kruger and Nordström combination results in a goal. The most unlikely sequence ever.

 

[KalmarKnights]

Nice work Krüger, nice shot Nordström.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Great game overall by Sweden. Nylander vs Marner will be great to watch

 

[Iceman]

Finland should get cred for beating USA but they don't have the firepower this year. They always play hard but the team is lacking skill.

 

[DaJackal]

Why does everyone named Nylander have to be a magician?

Because Sweden is better tactically than USA, know how to play against Finland in their sleep when it matters and are more complete in all parts of the squad than USA.

USA won over Sweden with 4-3 without Bäckström, Nylander and Lundqvist. Pretty significant additions.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Gotta give Finland some credit. It did not look like they would get this far earlier in the tournament. Just ran out of gas against a stacked Sweden team.

? Bäckström, Nylander, Klingberg, Hedman, OEL etc, that is some world class players.

 

[DaJackal]

I like our effort in the 3rd, though.

 

[JJTT]

Lol JMA's finish..

 

[bDtKarlsson]

Wooo what a save!

Sweden respects their opponent and doesn't just trust they'll walk over a much weaker team without trying?

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

cmon Rask, that should be a goal

 

[Hybbe]

Save of the tournament? Need to see that again.

 

[DaJackal]

After the 1st goal Säteri has given us all the possible chances to win this.

Well, he could give better outlet passes, so there's that.

 

[EK47]

Good game Finland well played, it could've been a lot closer, with a bit of luck it could even have been a win. Although I do think the swedish win is well deserved.

 

[KalmarKnights]

Some save that.

 

[Irishguy42]

Guess the game against USA was an aberration. This is the real Finland.
