Nothing wrong with Swedish twins. Other than the Sedins.

I believe Nazar has shown up pretty well. Czechs were awful in the 3rd.

Finland doubles the lead and it's 2-0 after one.
USA needs to get their heads out of their asses or prepare to trash a Gothenburg hotel room. Nazar has been pretty visible, but Oliver Moore has not.
EDIT: Moore got a great chance, but Kokko has been good for Finland. Still 2-0 halfway through the game.

2-2 with 5:41 to go. Third period has been more even. The second was total domination by Team USA.
Refs really don't want to call penalties. A couple of bad missed calls, especially the high stick by a Finn, forgot who.

Officiating was just awful. 1 penalty each way in the last 5 minutes. So weak on both calls. USA scored, Finland didn't. USA 3-2.

The better team won. Finland was playing at the upper limits of what you can do with this team.
I think the US are the favourites in the final, and this was a good test.

Meh. It is what it is. To win, you have to be able to kill penalties.

But after all the uncalled high sticks, the Zebras call those 2 weak assed penalties... It was just a close game so little things get highlighted. Yes, all three penalties in the third were weak. Finland got 2PP's, USA 1PP. USA scored, Finland didn't. In reality, there was basically one (blatant) penalty in the third, so I would have called just one for Finland, none for USA. It wouldn't have made any difference. Finland just got two undeserved powerplays, but the PP was so shitty it was hard to watch. I don't like going after the referees because you have to be there in the moment and talk to the players and communicate what is and what isn't allowed, including telling them "if you keep doing that, son, the next one is a penalty". It's not black and white. I'd say Finland benefited slightly, so it's hard to cry about the calls after a loss. And even if you get shitty calls, you have 50+ other minutes to make a difference and not be in that situation where one call can kill you. Champions just win.

Fins can still win bronze so naked fountain time is possible. The difference is that everyone will have angry dick instead of happy dick during sex.
