Olympics: GDT Russia - Sweden

[Chimpradamus]

Russia wins. Two best teams in the final.

Not really. Between Sweden, Finland and ROC it was basically a coin flip.

 

[Brunkmeister]

Klingberg and Friberg. Good choices Garpenlöv. Really.

Wallmark laughing about his awful shootout attempt would really annoy me if i were swedish

It did piss me off so much. Also pissed me of that we shithoused a bit too much in the tournament. Don’t play like a Finnish team.

 

[lawrence]

pretty much "most" peoples predictions which was a Russia Finland final.

Sweden played great. The payoff to bring in grinders almost payed off for them. Felt like watching old school Calgary Flames. You can see, they had good puck possession game, however the skill is not on part with the Russians. However it could have been anyones game, just like the previous Sweden Canada game.

 

[ovikovy817]

Very happy for the guys.
But I thought that we wouldn't comeback after the second Swedish SO goal

 

[Svedu]

Unlucky. Really really hope Russia win the final. Sad Sweden can’t be there, feels like it would have been deserved after being way better in OT. Only saw OT though.

Beat Finland! Please just beat Finland!

Of course. Always an explanation for every loss. Classy. What about trying to write congrats next time?

 

[IceHockeyDude]

Sweden knew they can't be in the final, they are just not on that level. The better team won today. Two best teams decide who will win it all.

 

[lawrence]

man sweden's gone ice cold in the shootout

not enough skill.

the price they payed by choosing more grinders.

”Hope Russia win the final” counts as cograts.

 

[Lambo]

Very good! Congrats!
It is rare that bookmakers favorites live up to expectations. Only in this final I hope that they are wrong. Finland should win this. It's a little nice feeling that Sweden won't do better than Suomi in this tournament.

 

[lawrence]

Sweden knew they can't be in the final,

strongly disagreed. They were a shootout save away from the gold medal game. it was 50/50. Sweden played a stronger forechecking style. Russia had better hands and skill. its as close as it gets.

 

[LiveeviL]

Way to respect the opponent after a loss.

How is that disrespect? I saw an even game with a better Sweden in OT.
So you mean that SO is more hockey than 3 vs 3? SO is as close to a coin-toss you get in hockey.

 

[Svedu]

”Hope Russia win the final” counts as cograts.

No it doesn't, not after writing that you deserved the win. You're always right, just twist and turn everything.

Most Swedes aren’t even aware of olympics hockey, due to horrible air time. People are still at work here.

 

[Svedu]

Not really. Between Sweden, Finland and ROC it was basically a coin flip.

No it wasn't. Both Finland and Russia beat Sweden. Even if Sweden had 35 minuts of PP and only scored with a man advantage. So no, you are completely wrong.

To be honest, I don't see either team worth a place in the final. Finland should win, they have won all their games. If something happends, someone can quote my post.

None of them beat Sweden in regular time. 2 of 2 very close OT decided games = coin flip in my book.

 

[Svedu]

Clever. Dont play like a team that have been top3 these last three years. A team that beat you and are in the final. Makes sense...

Wallmark is right. Shootouts are a lame joke. Finland - ROC bird it is. The Final Grande.

Well the finns and ruskies bring their b teams, while we have like our G teams. Had we topped our team with some better players that may have made the difference, but really olympic hockey is kind of pointless with these weak roosters and the chinese airtime so who cares?

 

[Jaska]

I was hoping for best on best, and NHL/Bettman let us down. Now we (Finland) are playing for gold against Russia. Not even sure if I will watch.

Kinda sad.

You are ignorant . The games Swe -Roc and Swe -Finöand were indeed COINFLIPS

 

[lawrence]

3 on 3 is huge joke. Make it 4 on 4 for crying out loud. the NHL did 3 on 3, because of declining attendance, so they wanted to add some excitement to the game.

To be honest, I don't see either team worth a place in the final. Finland should win, they have won all their games. If something happends, someone can quote my post.

Both these teams I believe are better than Slovakia. Slovakia defense doesn't really hold up, and will probably rely on the goalie again.

This is definitely your A- team what are you talking about

Omg, again this Team G, Team X crap. It is just genuinely getting little tiresome argument. News flash: NHL is not participating in the tournament. Get over it. Therefore every participating team had equal rights to form their teams.
