Who needs more scoring? This game is 1:1 after almost 80 min and is about as much fun as anything I've seen this season in the NHL.

Agree. It is about scoring chances and action, not goals.

F me, had no clue this goes to shootout now. That's anticlimactic!

 

[Duddy]

But most 1:1 games in the NHL are freaking boring.

Terrible way to end such a great game.

Sweden wins

My god is Lundquist alive in that pile.

 

[Samsonite23]

Why couldn't they just keep playing hockey?

 

[Rasmus CacOlainen]

I'm really happy for the swedes. They brought most of their stars, took the tourney seriously and played well when it mattered.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

IIHF really needs to get rid of shootouts in the medal round.

 

[skipjack]

Tight game.

 

[Duddy]

Always fantastic to see Canada lose though

 

[joshjull]

Hopefully that's it for awhile.

If Nylander is 70% of his brother he will be a superstar. William is just unreal named MVP, no clue how someone with that talent falls to 8.

If Sam and Alex can be 70% as good as William we'll be alright. What a talent William is.

Just to let you guys know, one of the reason William is in such good shape and is so ripped and strong on the puck is because Michael Nylander designed a secret work out program in the summer. This year Alex is included.
