GDT: Gold Medal Game • Feb. 23 • Sweden vs. Canada • Part III

[ScottishCanuck]

Deserved win. I was hoping Sweden would win as the Canadian arrogance was doing my head in, but the better team won.

Ridiculous that Backstrom couldn't play though. Sweden didn't stand a chance without Sedin, Franzen, Zetterberg and him.

 

[Hybbe]

Congratulations Canada, no doubt the better team today.

 

[Boreal01]

What a team put together by Stevie Y!

 

[CK17]

Yzerman smiled!

 

[Zack Kassian]

then these players will hate each other soon.

 

[MildlyAwesome]

Other nations step up your game!

Go Canada Go!

 

[Lugaid]

Congratulations Canada, well deserved winners. Please ignore the people talking about the potential line-up "what ifs" and having Krüger as top center - that's how things are and the absolute majority of course recognize Canada as simply the better team.

Well played.

 

[CanadaIsIrrelevant]

Stay classy Canadians. Congrats to the win and Gold medal!

LA Kings old d-man Mattias Norström said it well:

"Sweden didn't lose this gold they won the silver."

 

[Eye of Ra]

No.
No.

Finland lacked way more those 4 top players at the semis that Sweden those 3. Sweden is **** at the final, Finland at least would fight for the gold

the thing is, canada is to good. its not sweden who sucks. they make us look like it.

and yes yes, ask anyone, sweden is better than finland. shall we start a thread about the subject perhaps?

 

[Frank Drebin]

CONGRATZ CANADA, well deserved and we sucked as always when we face you guys.

Thank you for the classy post.

 

[Trovatore]

Congrats Canada! That was well deserved.

 

[sansabri]

ok, TC won. we can go back to hating each other now.

 

[trovah]

The better team won. It wouldnt have been fair if Sweden won. So I'm not upset. GG see you next time

//Sweden out

 

[SAINDON]

Great victory for Canada.

 

[SenzZen]

Congrats Team Canada!!!

Well fought tournament, Sweden! Too bad about the injuries- might have turned out differently for you.

 

[Gump Hasek]

Hockey is Canada's National Winter Sport; it is law here.

Good game Swedes; great effort despite the injuries. Congrats on winning the Olympic Silver Medal.

Congrats also to the reigning, defending, Olympic Gold Medalists, CANADA.

 

[Hobble]

Canada wins the gold in Olympic hockey... As is tradition.

 

[perry2]

Congrats Canada, very well deserved.

Yes
We missed Zetterberg Sedin and Bäckström

 

[PTmbp13]

Good game Sweeden

Swedes were not good. Not care. Enough

 

[fredligh]

GG Canada, for me this was expected, the diffrence in quality players would require all the swedish players to have the game of their lifes to take the gold

 

[gretskidoo]

If theres anything I can take away from this from the Swedish team, its that Edler has had a solid game IMO.

There's a reason he's playing with Karlsson instead of OEL.

He's ridiculously underrated on here.

 

[Stive Morgan]

Well played, Sweden. Lundqvist was superb

 

[Kenny Powders]

Price is so ****ing happy ahah

 

[Puckschmuck*]

This is OUR game baby! So proud of our Canadian boys

 

[Ewan McGregor*]

gratz on the silver Sweden! nothing to scoff at
