Why do finns claim that Sweden is on the same level as Poland and Hungary?

[Eye of Ra]

I keep seeing it, on social media. Finns always trying to make Sweden being some awful c-nation that is same level as Poland and Hungary. Sweden did not win those 2017 and 2018 golds and we dont have any good NHLers according to the finns.

As u all know, i myself claimed this stuff about Sweden aswell, i was making fun of them (finns).

So this thread is to talk about why finnish people for real think that Sweden is total terrible at hockey.

If sweden is so bad right now and in recent years:

Why does Sweden have so many NHLers?
Why did Sweden win gold 2013, 2017 and 2018?
Why did Sweden reach olympics final 2014?
Why did Sweden beat Finland in World Cup 2016 and Olympics 2018?
Why is the SHL such a good league?
Why do so many swedes still get drafted?
Why do Sweden win over Finland in EHT every year?

And no, Sweden having a shit roster in this WC with a shit coach does not make Sweden into a C-nation overall.

Finland is indeed a good hockey country, and always been. No swedes is denying that.

Nice bait

I've literally never seen anyone seriously argue that Sweden is terrible at hockey, so claiming that they are a majority is just laughable

then you are not paying attention.

posts like this from finns are seen all over the internet these last years:

Have you been drinking? A couple of gloating dum-dums on social media is not representative of Finns as a whole.

I'm not sure why do you value the takes of individual people in YouTube comment sections so much.

 

[Mrfenn92]

It’s social media. Why do you care about that cesspool and opinions shared there.

I love how in the evidence you provided contains an argument of Finland outperforming Sweden in the latest tournaments and the recent games to date, and one anonymous person calling Sweden a joke – and your conclusion is that these people claim Sweden is on the same level as Poland and Hungary?

Dags att tänka på refrängen and maybe take the rest of the night off

I saw an interwiev on SVT(swedish television) with Anton Lundell. He has a very swedish name and he spoke swedish with a finnsih accent. Is he half swedish or something?

Wait so you see a couple of social media posts and think that’s representative of Finland’s view on Swedish hockey? There is no way you posted this over a few social media comments. I don’t even get this mad when thousands of Hungarians chant anti-Slovak slurs at football matches or boo our national anthem.

Hmm in Norway we call them "party swede" "partysvenske"

Partysvenske – lokalhistoriewiki.no

No one who is following hockey is seriously making that claim.
