That hack! Holy!

Mike J hates Sweden, not sure why.

...you sure you're watching the right game??...

Should just run the clock to the final 2 mins and have sweden pull their goalie.

Seems like that'll be what determines this game result.

and here we are

That Väisänen chance was very pretty, nice moves. Wallstedt is admittedly great.

much better outing than against Canada a few days ago, the goalie seems able to stop a puck.

 

[TommyDangles]

Edvinsson looks terrible. So many bad decisions.

 

[TonsofPuppies]

Don't insult Sweden like that.

I was going to say that they have the same amount of WJC golds as the Leafs have cups since 1967, but it turns out they actually have twice as many (2), so you're right. My apologies.

Cmon sweden, do it for button!!

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

If clean zone entries were goals, Sweden would be down double-digits.

 

[Ginger Papa]

This is a perfect example of an awful Hockey game.

One of the most boring games I've had the misfortune of watching

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

...good thing no fans showed up for this snorefest...

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

This Fin team that showed tonight could beat Canada.

Maybe if the fin team got put in the woman's under 18 but even then....

 

[Realgud]

Edvinsson looks terrible. So many bad decisions.

Every time he has the puck it's either a turnover or an icing, especially in the third. He had so many shots going super high above the net too. No idea what he's doing but it's disheartening to watch.

 

[TonsofPuppies]

WHO WAS THAT DROP PASS FOR?! Lmao

 

[Jussi]

FINAL!

 

[theslatcher]

6v5 and you go with Ljungman, Torgersson, & Olausson. Never change Montén.

 

[TimeZone]

I've never been less excited for a gold medal game at this tournament.

Holy christ that was painful to watch

 

[Statsy]

Fitting way to end it. Sweden can’t get a shot off.

 

[Jukurit]

WOW!

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

...easiest shutout of that kid's career...

 

[NyQuil]

Well, that happened.

 

[Beerfish]

Sweden had so little urgency with the goalie pulled. Puzzling.

 

[jj cale]

well, gold medal game up between Canada and Finland

But how do you top what we just watched here?
