Finland 2 Refs 2

How Sweden isn't running away with the lead is baffling.

Tie game.

 

[Fire Sweeney]

The refs had been alright so far in the tourney, but they screwed the Finns today.

 

[mislysBB]

I get the feeling that the refs don't want Finland to win...

 

[PrisonMike]

what a dive by Johnson, Sweden is embarrassing .

 

[Bruins 54]

The swede dives lies on the ice till he realizes there wont be a call ... lol

 

[Fossy21]

Habs prospect, enough said.

Or, you know, an elbow to the face.

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Oh my god, the dives from thses forwards...

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Or, you know, an elbow to the face.

Doesn't mean you have to pull a Brooks Orpik and pretend that you were shot point blank.

 

[Fossy21]

Doesn't mean you have to pull a Brooks Orpik and pretend that you were shot point blank.

You take an extended elbow to the face and stand up. Then send me video evidence.

 

[Dellstrom]

The fact that this can end in a shootout...

 

[PrisonMike]

The fact that this can end in a shootout...

I know, crazy to think a championship game could end in a skills competition. IIHF needs to change this

 

[Fopppa]

Johnson took a dive and the trip called in the neutral zone was borderline at best. The others were perfectly good penalties, not surprisingly when the Finns have been camped in their own zone all game long.

And Collberg got clipped good with a swinging elbow. Can't believe anyone calling that a dive.

 

[Alicat]

Heartbreaking

 

[Bruins 54]

Yess !!!! Finns win ..... Swedes lose with all their diving and the refs on their side ...

 

[Fossy21]

Well, that sucked. Good tactic by Finland when they didn't have the player material. Their offensive zone time must've been a 4th of what Sweden had, though. Kind of like Greece in Euro 2004

 

[Fopppa]

Crap. Oh well, Finland were much better in OT.

 

[Dellstrom]

Wow, what a rush. Good for Finland.

 

[Fopppa]

Yess !!!! Finns win ..... Swedes lose with all their diving and the refs on their side ...

Classy.

 

[mislysBB]

Hardworking, gritty, and never gives up. IMO, this is why I think Team Finland will go far in the Olympics.

 

[caz16]

Congrats to Finland! Tuukka will be pleased.

 

[Madturk]

Good for the Fins. Officiating has been horrendous this entire tournament. They made sure the US was not getting in the finals this time.

 

[Bruins 54]

Classy.

Yep, Finns where very Classy !

So what Norway is out, didn't Norway beat Finland in one of these games? Or was that pre-tournament?
