[Jussi]

Good start for Finland.

 

[Jussi]

Looks like it was Nieminen who tipped the shot.

 

[Jussi]

Suski! 2-0 Finland! Bring that bronze medal to Laitila!

 

[Jussi]

Such a Finnish thing to do, give up a goal and take a stupid penalty right after.

 

[Jussi]

Karvinen...

 

[DeflatedFootball7]

That illegal checking penalty was laughs.

Good pace to this game.

 

[Jussi]

Hakala went like Theo Fleury out there. Surprised they didn't give her a penalty.

 

[Jussi]

Välimäki 3-1!

 

[Jussi]

I think some girls took part in Selänne's goal scoring school last summer, but i think it might do good for some of the older Finnish players as well.

I think Sanni Hakala definitely wouldn't mid if they allowed checking in women's hockey. Perhaps experiment with it for 2-3 years before the next Olympic?

 

[Jussi]

That's a Ruutu like move by the Russian.

And this time the refs were awake.

 

[DeflatedFootball7]

Lmao the hell was that? Literal hip into the head.

 

[DeflatedFootball7]

Looked to see if that was the dirty player from the Russian woman's league. Nope, although the player with the most pims is in this game.

 

[Asiantuntija]

Russia doing triple teams at Penalty Kill.

 

[Jussi]

Stupid penalty cost Finland again.

 

[DeflatedFootball7]

Big goal, been a shit show of a tournament for Belyakova.

Also maybe a Finn can answer this, is it RA-TEE or RA-TOO. CBC announcers keep going back and forth.

Rä-tyh.

 

[Jussi]

Rahunen...

 

[Jussi]

Hiirkikoski gets a penalty for OAR. Good job.

 

[Jussi]

Bronze!

 

[Del Preston]

Why did the Russian coach not pull the goalie?

 

[Jussi]

Why did the Russian coach not pull the goalie?

We made it harder to do that by keeping the pressure at their end.

 

[Jussi]

Oh that's cute, they formed the circle in a heartshape.

 

[DeflatedFootball7]

What are you guys feeding your woman's goalies? All three are making me swoon O_O

Speaking of which, Suonpaa running across the ice in her shoes was hilarious.

Finland's Riikka Välilä has to be one of the most decorated multi sport athletes ever
