WJC: U20 WJC Semifinal game thread Sweden vs Finland

[Sergei Shirokov]

Sweden's FWDs were not good.

 

[Jussi]

That was one of the most tactically mature games I've seen our U-20 team play. Everyone played according to the system and I'm not surprised at all how much Ismo Lehkonen was in awe of it.

 

[Jukurit]

Out of all the hockey games I've watched, this was one of them.

 

[ORRFForever]

Cmon sweden, do it for button!!

Ha ha.

That was BAD. Even 6 on 5, they were impotent <-- can't think of a better word.

Shame on Sweden.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Michkov would have destroyed these teams.

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Where is @Eye of Ra ? I feel unworthy to dish proper dirt on that feeble Swedish effort.

 

[karhukissa]

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

Holy christ that was painful to watch

There's been many gold medal games already?

 

[jj cale]

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

I could have gotten the W in nets tonight for them.

 

[Erikfromfin]

I told you we would get revenge over Canada in Finals...

 

[Hullois]

Sweden with a clinic on how to waste the final seconds of a game. Let's just keep the puck along the boards and not even try a shot.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

They spent a timeout, huddled around and talked it out.

The puck is almost immediately thrown out of their zone and they never sniff the net again.

Player of the Game for Sweden: The Wall
Worst Player of the Game for Sweden: Everyone Else

@Eye of Ra called it.

 

[TonsofPuppies]

Sweden: Needs a goal to tie it
Also Sweden: Doesn't shoot the puck

 

[PatLaFontaineASMR]

Tomas Montén hockey terrorist

 

[NyQuil]

I told you we would get revenge over Canada in Finals...

I told you the Finns would get 3 PPs in a row.

 

[SenzZen]

Ha ha.

That was BAD. Even 6 on 5, they were impotent <-- can't think of a better word.

Shame on Sweden.

I agree that is the most fitting word for that… effort.

 

[Erikfromfin]

I told you the Finns would get 3 PPs in a row.

Well you failed. We got 4

Exactly, this was Pennanen masterclass. Bbbut he trash whole team trash everyone trash since game one. And yet we're in the final.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

...so how did Sweden end up picking 3 players of the tournament??...they didn't have 3 good players all tournament...

 

[Miro4Norris]

Don't worry Canadians you will get your part of this torture tomorrow. Canada struggled against Czechs lmao

 

[ORRFForever]

I agree that is the most fitting word for that… effort.

That was disgraceful. At least go down fighting.

 

[Hazy Little Thing]

Andrae was so bad today. Anytime the puck was on his stick was a waste.

 

[Jussi]

"Jahu Jatkola"??

 

[MM917]

Cameron would have be proud of the Swedes play after the timeout.

Looked like they were playing out the last minute of the second period while up 7-0.
