Game Thread: Suomi vs. Tre Kronor - Gold medal game

[dash]

Tie game (assist to IIHF refs)

 

[dash]

Five straight penalties to Finland if you are scoring at home...

Dansk with two left feet going to get that puck...

Then a Finnish player lays a solid cross-check to a Swede and there's no call - Of course, the tinfoil hat in me suggests that now Sweden has tied the game, no more penalties need to be called.

Overtime!

We're going to OT in Malmo for the gold medal - I think Finland would have taken that at the start of the game.

20 minute OT period of 4-on-4 hockey, if nobody scores, then a shootout.

Karri Kivi face >>> Darren Dreger face

I hate that the Pens and NFL playoffs are all on during this. I need three TVs...

Doobster checking in. 2-2 tie in overtime.

SUOMI Gold!

Rasmus Ristolainen wins it for the Finns! Gold medal!

Gotta say, I'm pretty happy that Finland won considering the home cooking Sweden got regarding officiating today.

 

[Cobiemonster]

Unfortunately that was Robert Hagg that Risto got by for the winner

Amazing they did that with out two bonafide "stars" (at the Junior level) in Barkov and Maatta. Great stuff from them in the second half of the tourney.

Five different champions in the last six years - This is a tough tourney to win.
