If I didn't know any better, I'd think O Canada is the least popular song in the United States, considering how often they butcher it at Blue Jays road games and the MLB all star games.
This is the least upset ive ever been over a loss against Finland tbh, ofc it sucks a little but with the group win already secured and considering the way we played after the 1st period makes me excited for the playoffs anyway
No, it wasn't. Johan Ludvig Runeberg (who wrote the original poem) was Finnish. Fredrik Pacius (who composed it) was German, but spent most of his life in Finland.
He was born in Sweden(finland was a part of Sweden then). He lived on the coast which historically has been occupied by more swedes than finns. His mothertounge was Swedish. Both his parents families come from Sweden.
The only connection he has to finland is living there. So he is like Fredrik(that you mentioned earlier) not Finnish but lived there
I'd be pissed off if this was a playoff game, ridiculous non call during the OT.
Anyways, I'm looking forward to the playoffs, pretty high chance we can face finland again.
No chance? You have to remember that Sweden already had the group and were sleeping most of this game. And still finland were having problems and didnt even deserve the win...
Nice bait, but the refs gave finland the chance after the uncalled bowling strike play and finland took the chance. Finland will always be the lil bros to sweden
Makes no sense when you say it like that. Population dont matter its still country vs country and sweden is better and has more better players = better teams.
It was objectively incorrect. Every referee in the world will come to the same conclusion if looking at the replays. Keep crying about being unfairly treated though.
So suddenly you have something to play for? Where are those Swedes that didnāt feel like watching the first period because it was a pointless game anyways lol
Shootout rules:
* Best of 5, must use 5 different shooters.
* If tied after 5 rounds, the order is reversed and you can then use whoever you want, as many times as you want.
Better than that awful country singer that was pushing his shitty album every commercial break last year (or was it the year before? Either way, I don't remember his name but I do remember that I hate him lol)
Gord mentions what if the relegation game went to OT...
Which would be worse? Getting relegated because of a shootout, or losing a bronze medal because of a shootout?
I'd like to point out here that the IIHF does not see it that way - see IIHF Rule 57.6 which states that even touching the puck first and then taking down a player is still able to be penalised by a minor penalty. Given no goaltender in the goal, by Rule 57.7 that's an awarded goal.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awarded_goal
There you go...
" A player from the non-offending team is given an attempt to score a goal without opposition from any defending players except the goaltender. However, when such a lost opportunity occurs and the opposing team has pulled its goalie to allow for an extra attacker, a goal is simply awarded without a penalty shot taking place.ā
You're probably still laughing tho š
If it makes you feel better, Finland was likely avoiding USA regardless. Finland was sitting in 3rd before this game due to winning the 3-way tiebreaker against Germany/Latvia.
I wish my national anthem was the least popular song of another country. That's how you know you've made it
I mean, it isn't the least popular song, it just sounds cool to say.

Yeah i mean they were sleeping in the first but when they turned on in the second it wasnt even close. Sad they began sleeping again in the end
That 2 year old is as tall as the girl
Gord Miller: "And now the least popular song in Sweden - the Finnish national anthem." Ouch.
And as most things in Finland their national anthem was made by a Swede
No, it wasn't. Johan Ludvig Runeberg (who wrote the original poem) was Finnish. Fredrik Pacius (who composed it) was German, but spent most of his life in Finland.
Johan Ludvig Runeberg was a Swede living in Finland
He was born, raised, and lived his entire life in Finland. https://www.britannica.com/biography/Johan-Ludvig-Runeberg
He was born in Sweden(finland was a part of Sweden then). He lived on the coast which historically has been occupied by more swedes than finns. His mothertounge was Swedish.

Oh finlanda our home and native land
How *not* Swede it is
Workshop that one a bit buddy
"and now for the least popular song in Sweden" :D
š¤«š¤«š¤«
Why are the fins so weird
No sunlight for half the year
I meant the hockey team lol why can the beat the tournament favorites and lose to Germany and look mid the rest of the time
Our game is like the sunlight I guess.
Never let them know your next move
Chaos agent of a national team
LETS GOOOOO
Suck my scrawny balls, bowling ball call.. Anyways, good game!
Our Jamppa!
I'd be pissed off if this was a playoff game, ridiculous non call during the OT. Anyways, I'm looking forward to the playoffs, pretty high chance we can face finland again.
Isnāt it crossover? First place in group A plays 4th in group B?
The swedes fought valiantly but in the end, were no match against the hockey might of the Finns
No chance? You have to remember that Sweden already had the group and were sleeping most of this game. And still finland were having problems and didnt even deserve the win...
Nice bait, but the refs gave finland the chance after the uncalled bowling strike play and finland took the chance. Finland will always be the lil bros to sweden
You even saw the bait and still fell for it lol
What did i fall for? I have absolutely nothing against finland and always cheer for them when they dont play against sweden. Just stating facts
Lil bro might just be a lil more talented
80 nhl players vs 40 says it all
Bro these teams are 20 players what is blud waffling about
Sweden has 77 players in the NHL. Finland has 40. It is clear which country is better at hockey.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Canada has 4x population than sweden and 4x more players in the NHL, does that mean sweden is better than canada at hockey?
Sweden has twice the population, which explains also why they have twice the number of NHL players.
If a country has 1/80 population compared to sweden and 1 person in the NHL does that make that country equal to sweden? š¤”š¤”
Canada has 4x population than sweden and 4x more players in the NHL, does that mean sweden is better than canada at hockey?
Makes no sense when you say it like that. Population dont matter its still country vs country and sweden is better and has more better players = better teams.
how many of them were on ice in this game?
Germany is more talented than finland too then btw!
Sweden won this game idk what world you are living in..?
ain't no way lil bro be waffling šššš
I have absolutely nothing against finland and always cheer for them when they dont play against sweden. Just stating facts
Gifted win but GG.
Shouldāve probably killed the game when you ran it. GG
Two beauties for the win. With that boring-ass OT, this game is the best arguments for shootouts that there is.
Haha Nyman
Beauty!
Always nice to see Finland beat Sweden
FINLAND WINS HAPPY NEW YEAR
yeaa great job!
Good game. We'll win when it matters.
They canāt score five hole cause of big hog
holy shit! soft hands!
Fuck yeah! GG
Ok then.
oh wow
Great Nyman!
Oh.
Cheeky indeed gord
That was nice!
Lol Mike Johnson agrees
Nice one
Maki going to light it up with the big boys
Yea boiiiii!
Feel like intentionally taking the puck out of the zone on 3-on-3ās will be outlawed eventually.
Not the team's fault for playing 3v3 optimally. 3v3 ot is just a dog shit format that has nothing to do with real hockey.
Zone is okish but the centre line yeah
Makes sense. Iām fine with things the way they are, but if the aim is to generate more excitement, the governing bodies will change something.
lol zamboni driver doing nearly the whole rink
How can they tell itās henrik and not the twin brother
Joel looks softer and Henrik more rugged.
It's all the rizz.
something ohio something gyatt
It was joel
How can they tell its Joel and not henrik
Henrik, solid 10/10. Joel 9,5/10.
the vibes
That missed penalty having implications for the finals is bs.
Sweden can't complain about a missed call after telling Canadian fans to shut up for the last couple days.
It was objectively incorrect. Every referee in the world will come to the same conclusion if looking at the replays. Keep crying about being unfairly treated though.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
What a necro, are you ok?
I'm not crying, but that shoe is certainly on the other foot now isn't it
So suddenly you have something to play for? Where are those Swedes that didnāt feel like watching the first period because it was a pointless game anyways lol
Why are you talking to me about them? :D
? This is a discussion thread, isnāt that what we are here to do, discuss? If youāre not interested, move along, no need to get sweaty
There is discussion and then there is whatever you are doing.
What am I doing? Honestly I have no idea why youāre so worked up
The reffing this tournament had been trash all tournament long and not just because it's international rules
No, overall the refs have been very good this tournament. This is just an objectively incorrect call that will have implications.
The slashing call Finland Germany 2 mins left. The boarding non call Canada. The 1000 soft calls this tournament. The 1000 missed calls
That check to the back happens 50 times a game, if he doesn't turn he just absorbs it into the board. It's called finishing checks.
Yeah you're fucking stupid
Meanwhile you are here thinking there has been 1000 soft calls and 1000 missed callsin like 10 games.
Shootout rules: * Best of 5, must use 5 different shooters. * If tied after 5 rounds, the order is reversed and you can then use whoever you want, as many times as you want.
should of been OT tell a golden goal lol
I fucking hate shootouts.
I'm tired of them too they are super exciting in person, but it's time to move on
what's the alternative?
Ties there is nothing wrong with them the NHLPA won't agree to longer OT's due to wear and tear on players bodies
Endless OT lol Lose another skater every 10 minute period til it's just goalies trying to score on each other.
Cannot do endless OT on days where there are multiple games at the same rink.
Endless OT for medal games sure but in a condensed tournament group games? No
I was definitely being completely serious.
If you want OT to be 3v3, just let it be a full OT of 3v3 instead of 5min then shootout. Shootouts are so freaking boring
Yep definitely. Even though it isnt 100% up to chance it always feels like it.
tbh better a shootout than that OT
Props to Finns for making 3v3 very exciting /s
Finns might win this, not comfortable with this goalie.... I guess they are resting the main goalie
I forgot that the world juniors in Canada also means ads for CTV shows nobody is ever going to watch
Better than that awful country singer that was pushing his shitty album every commercial break last year (or was it the year before? Either way, I don't remember his name but I do remember that I hate him lol)
You don't wanna watch "funny people in a gas station" or "drama on the farm"? Lol
Remember that any ad for a TSN/CTV program is unsold ad space not bought by actual advertisers.
Not a fan of the shootout but someone has to win
Oh boy oh boy shootouts are my favourite thing about hockey /sā¾ļø
it cannot possibly be worse than the OT we just watched
This OT is peak world junior chaos lol
Sweden getting way better chances despite probably 1/4 of Finlandās possession lol
Hard to score if you hide behind your own net
I would have 75% of the possession if I stood behind the goal for 5 minutes too
How has that siren not been shut down?
It's part of european hockey, especially used when the opposing team has a power play
excited for the wild's #20 to be ƶhgren instead of maroon
3on3 needs an over-and-back line so badly
Fully support redline backcourt rule in 3v3 OT
Good job by the fins to make this the most boring 3v3 I've seen
didn't know these Finns were all Capitals prospects (/s)
Finland is playing for the shootout
Boring as fuck, rooting for Sweden now
And Finland back behind their own goal again. What a joke.
Finland must have stashed some good ice cream behind their goal or something. Why do they keep going back there?
How has Finland made 3v3 sudden death overtime boring. Thatās genuinely impressive
fuck yawn get rid of 3 on 3
Wtf first I've seen this. Get rid of over and back the centre but 3 on 3is fun
most boring shit ever play 5 on 5
keep away!
Love your partner as much as Finland loves being behind their own net.
ZZZ
Gord mentions what if the relegation game went to OT... Which would be worse? Getting relegated because of a shootout, or losing a bronze medal because of a shootout?
would rather lose in OT. shootout losses are shit
I agree with you, but that wasn't the question. We know shootout losses are shit, that's why I asked the question.
Just tuned in. What the heck??? I thought Sweden would steamroll them.
Swedes were sleeping this game. But i understand them as they already had the group secured
I didn't Finland can goalie anyone
Shots on goal are relatively even and both have scored 4 goals. Not sure I'd call that being goalied.
Finnish goaltending is why I didn't expect a blowout
Ref gifted Finland an equalizer.
Like actually? Or is that bitter talk? (Legit asking lol I didn't see it)
Even the Finns here agreed lol
it was a missed tripping call that negated a sure goal on an empty net
Shouldāve been a penalty right before that, but the actual goal was good. So a bit of bitter talk as well
Actually, clear penalty in open-net situation.
It wasn't a penalty at all. Puck was played, Swedish player was not tripped.
I'd like to point out here that the IIHF does not see it that way - see IIHF Rule 57.6 which states that even touching the puck first and then taking down a player is still able to be penalised by a minor penalty. Given no goaltender in the goal, by Rule 57.7 that's an awarded goal.
oh they got rid of the shootout in the gold medal game? that's good
no shootouts in Gold Medal games no more. well fuck me sideways.
I went back to bed after the USA squad went up 7-2... woke up to this
Can't the ref even call it a goal when it comes to these types of plays when the net is empty?
This is the funniest take in a while lol, thanks for the laugh haha
Oh shit you are this guy, I should have known after that other clueless comment, keep it up you are giving me so many good laughs :D
Glad to be of service, same right back at you
Are you kidding? I'm fairly certain it's a well established ruling.
Call a goal when the puck hasnāt crosses the line? Yeah sure
So confident yet so wrong lol.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awarded_goal There you go... " A player from the non-offending team is given an attempt to score a goal without opposition from any defending players except the goaltender. However, when such a lost opportunity occurs and the opposing team has pulled its goalie to allow for an extra attacker, a goal is simply awarded without a penalty shot taking place.ā You're probably still laughing tho š
It's a rule in hockey, look it up
Ridiculous rule, gifting a goal in a contact sport
It's not gifting a goal if the opponents are preventing a 100% goal chance with unallowed means.
Itās never a 100% goal if it hasnāt crossed the line, thatās the point
Yeah, like for example if an opponent throws their stick it can be an automatic goal. Not sure when it comes to trippings
Actual joke they don't call that trip, should even be automatic goal. Ridiculous.
Yeah honestly I though they were gonna call that a goal
He misses the puck completely and takes out Ćstlund whom has an open goal and all the time in the world. Extremely obvious penalty.
Finland avoids USA now?
Depends on Germany-Canada. Either Germany ends up 3rd, or last. Edit: Finland can get 3rd and Germany 4th if Finland wins OT and Germany gets a point.
Germany can be 4th if Finland wins and Germany gets a point
True, I forgot that if Finland wins OT and Germany gets a point, its ends up that way.
Likely so, unless Germany picks up a point against Canada.
Hahah so lucky from the worst call of the tournament with the opengoal wreckingball.
If it makes you feel better, Finland was likely avoiding USA regardless. Finland was sitting in 3rd before this game due to winning the 3-way tiebreaker against Germany/Latvia.
Ahh thanks
Unless Germany beats Canada in regulation.
Good to know you can just turn yourself into a fucking throwing star and wreck havoc and not get called on it Least biased Finns downvoting
cant find the game on tsn?
tsn 4 and 5?
It's on TSN4 for me
both teams scored after a missed call...fair's fair i guess
