[jonlin]

No penalty. Clear as daylight. Good play.

canada probably but that doesn't count cause they are just better then russia

I actually think Russia favours playing Canada instead of Finland.

Russia doesn't scare Canada at all

Agreed. Russia getting beaten by Finns is not even uncommon anymore.

 

[Czechboy]

This is shocking.... really happy 2 of our best young goalies are in the Liiga! Clearly something in the water over there.

 

[Raimo Sillanpää]

Russian team play has disintegrated, all solo stuff now..

By everybody

 

[ebergeist]

Can you hear the Putin’s cry.

 

[robertocarlos]

Sneaky Russian Malkin.

 

[Czechboy]

A Finn was saying the goalie has to be better than .800 or whatever it was... he must've read the post. 1.000 after 58 minutes.

Eh? Pretty sure they won every other game. This isn't over yet either.

 

[FVM]

What a thriller. Hold on, not long anymore!

 

[DoubleGold]

WE GOT THIS! GO LANKINEN! GO LEIJONAT! SISU!

 

[king89]

Is this really happening?

 

[karhukissa]

Risto&little chipmunks can keep declining. This team is full of true warriors, whatever happens we need to be so proud of them.

 

[Jussi]

No Kakko on the ice for a while, more experience needed.

 

[Messrules11]

Putin the extra attacker?

 

[agent082]

Why Russia took timeout when Finland had tired players?

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

TALVISOTA ON ICE.

 

[robertocarlos]

Quit icing the puck.

 

[JustaFinnishGuy]

They have to take the time out some time.

 

[Czechboy]

All I can suggest is not to collapse!

Russia has 6 forwards out there... you should be able to carry the puck out and maybe even draw a penalty. Collapsing didn't work for the Swiss or Slovaks. Get to the neutral zone!

 

[robertocarlos]

Ovechkin is still hung over from last summer.

What's new?

A great hockey team is historically better with a few Russian stars, not an entire roster. It's really not a dig, rather an observation. I mean this roster is unreal (Malkin, OV, Kuch, ...), but 0 goals today.

This game has been a Finnish masterclass of game-strategy.
