[EveryDay]

Hutson named top3 players for USA, coaches must be wrong again lol

 

[crowi]

Congrats to USA, fun game to watch.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

Tough game. No surprise.
Could have gone either way. US did just enough to pull it out.

 

[Kiekura]

Gratz USA! Proud of Finnish team.

USA has lots to do if they wanna win Sweden with play like that.

 

[Nineteen67]

Good job boys. Now win a gold against someone other than Canada.

Well fought game by heavily outmatched (on paper) Finns. No shame on losing with these rosters. Finals now stacked with future NHLers.

 

[MNRube]

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.

Absolutely. In a sick way it kind of worked out fairly

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

I think they were equally bad, tbh. Human incompetence is always way more likely than conspiracies...

Whenever there’s an IIHF tournament and there haven’t been enough penalties called in the games…

IIHF refs:

Still proud of the boys. Very close to push it to OT against the tournament favorites. We go again next year!

 

[ijuka]

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.

It was a makeup call because of missed high stick. They were going to call a penalty on Finland whether there was something or not.

That sisu is f***ing overrated.

Gratz USA! Proud of Finnish team.

USA has lots to do if they wanna win Sweden with play like that.

You should be extra proud Had us scared for a bit and man what guts or should I say sissu !

 

[NyQuil]

The entire tournament has been poorly officiated.

There have been some solid games.

CZE-CAN and SWE-CAN among the ones I saw.

Ironically Canada lost both games, but I have no issue with the officials.

 

[EveryDay]

Top2 team are going head to head tomorrow, it should be a good game!

 

[kingsholygrail]

Can't finish lower than silver. Nice

That sisu is f***ing overrated.

I don't know, ask Stalin...

 

[ZEBROA]

Congrats USA! But the most important thing as a Swede is to beat Finland. We just have to loose tomorrow to beat Finland, takes the fun and excitment out of it.

 

[LaMasquerade]

I just don't understand how bad we're always in 2nd period. It kind of killed us again..

Guys like Hämeenaho and Nyman should've stepped up..

USA was today better. Superior in PP.

 

[TriFF51]

What brutal officiating. About 7 uncalled high sticks and then 2 calls on nothing plays in the final moments. Good battle despite all that, hopefully it's better tomorrow.

 

[NyQuil]

I don't know, ask Stalin...

*beep*. I am not at home right now Comrade, but please leave a Patriotic message after the beep. *beep*

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Can't finish lower than silver. Nice

You jinxed us

 

[Kiekura]

You should be extra proud Had us scared for a bit and man what guts or should I say sissu !

For sure. We had every chance to win this game again super stacked team USA.

Tomorrows finals are going to be awesome Hockey. Cant wait for it

 

[FinPanda]

Better team one no doubt but man it sucks when we were so close.

 

[Krigsgaldr]

That sisu is f***ing overrated.

Idk my first puukko was a cold steel sissu and that damn thing is to this day one of my treasures
