Congrats USA.

That gotta be up there with one of the worst officiated games ever without exception.

 

[BerthMania]

Refs trying their hardest to help the Fins.

Considering that the power play responsible for the last USA goal was not a real penalty I can understand. That call was absolutely brutal

 

[Flinkkis]

Gg USA, well deserved and you would have probably won by more if these clown refs could officiate a game to save their lives, just so bad from them

Sure dude 2 soft penalties and 2 PP goals.

 

[MuckOG]

Swedish officials didn't get their wish for a SWE/FIN gold medal game.

 

[Portal]

USA! Gold Medal Game!

 

[EveryDay]

He turned it over on a clear at the worst possible time. Real lucky Finland failed to make him pay.

That was a good game, Finns needed to get a 3rd when they had momentum and I think we all knew exactly what was going to happen when they didn't.

He break 3 dangerous pass during that sequence but you bring a blocking play at the blueline?

Impressive comment as usual.

 

[novisor]

Good battle by the Fins.

They stopped skating the second they went up 2-0. Thoroughly disinterested and dominated for the last 40 minutes.

 

[Krigsgaldr]

Good game Finns ! Much respect !

 

[Jugitsu]

Congratz USA, the better team won. The Finns who needed to step up didn’t. Skip the bronze game pls.

 

[Shocker]

Sure dude 2 soft penalties and 2 PP goals.

I'm finnish lmao, did you miss all the highsticks earlier or are you just blind like the refs?

both penalty were bullshit

 

[RedHawkDown]

Finns didn't have many scoring chances.

He saved the game at the end and is much better than Fowler. I was wondering why you didn’t see how bad Hutson has been and simultaneously were pumping Fowler…then I realized.

habs fans gonna Hab

It was just general incompetence IMO. Consistently awful

 

[TLEH]

They stopped skating the second they went up 2-0. Thoroughly disinterested and dominated for the last 40 minutes.

Considering the talent discrepancy. They more than made this a battle.

 

[llwyd]

Good battle by the Fins.

There usually is - I'm not that annoyed really, it was such an uphill struggle. Well, those referees actually were annoying, equally bad to both sides basically.

 

[Svedu]

Männistö and Lassila deserve prices but Kulonummi? Come on.

 

[karhukissa]

Congrats USA, disappointing result for us but this is hockey!

Finland Russia WC finals 2014

 

[heynowbababooey]

Theres never any quit in the hearts of those Finnish lions. I love them and they regularly give me a heart attack this time of year. I wasnt sure how to feel with our boys scoring the gwg as a result of a terrible call but it evened out with the Finns getting a pp off a worse call so I'm ok with it.

I guess you're gonna ignore the half dozen high-sticks by Finland that weren't called.

 

[ijuka]

Männistö and Lassila deserve prices but Kulonummi? Come on.

Kulonummi was really bad. Vali deserved it but they're trying to mop the fact that they made the wrong goalie choice under the rug.

The entire tournament has been poorly officiated.

 

[BerthMania]

both penalty were bullshit

I disagree Perreault,a penalty was a soft hooking, but still a hooking. I wouldn't have called it. But the penalty that lead to Gauthier's goal wasn't even close to being a penalty.
