WJC: U20 WJC Semifinal game thread Sweden vs Finland

[Erikfromfin]

I personally like Canada. Our brothers in north and home of hockey. They even gave us Nelly Furtado and Maneater can't find better banger than that.

Its the Corrupt HC, TSN failure and canadian referees I dislike. and also intentionally breaking Kharlamov ankle and Crosby diving in Sochi

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Counting on an amazing game between these teams.

 

[NyQuil]

i predict 5-2 Sweden

You’re like the roulette guy that keeps betting on black.

I personally like Canada.

Benching Lambert is like being in Jauhojengi but not getting any Jauho, i hope he bounces back and scores the winning goal in finals after we beat these Swedes.

I like Canada too. They're just our natural rivals in hockey. Hell, I root for Canadian teams and athletes in most sports other than hockey, even. The Canadian soccer team qualifying for the World Cup this year is a pretty damn cool story.

Sweden with the royal blues today

 

[Ginger Papa]

Should I root for Sweden, or Finland? I'm thinking Finland, for two reasons.

1. I'm fourth-generation (am I counting this right? My great-great grandfather came to the USA from Norway) Norwegian-American, and Norway has a bit of a rivalry with Sweden. Yes, this is a silly reason.
2. I feel like Finland has a more realistic chance of beating Canada than Sweden does, even though they lost to them in group play. I could be completely wrong on this, and feel free to tell me I'm stupid for thinking it.

Either way, whoever wins this game is my preference to win the gold medal.

 

[theslatcher]

I have literally no idea what to expect from either team in this matchup. Will be fun to see.

 

[Statsy]

I’ll go 3-2 Finland.

 

[Hierso]

I just quote myself here

I predict that either team wins it 2-0 with the first goal being in the first 10 minutes of the game and the last one in an open net. A very medicore game with lots of missed chances both ways.

Sweden with the royal blues today

Interesting choice, well why not? it's not like they've done anything with the yellows.

 

[gritdash60]

Im expecting Räty to have a dominant game, im also expecting Lekkerimäki scoring 1 or maybe 2 goals. It's gonna be a good one guys, lets f***ing go!

 

[Erikfromfin]

6-2 Finland and canadian referees ofcourse

 

[hockey20000]

sweden has not look great all tournament but playing finland usually brings out there best..

 

[NyQuil]

Welp.

 

[JackSlater]

Not sure what to expect here. I'll guess that Finland wins but no team has really stood out.

 

[NyQuil]

Corrupt Canadian refs already clearly biased in favour of Finland.

 

[gritdash60]

Referees already on our side!
