I call it lack of finish. Lots of chances, nothing goes in.

Eventually they'll score I guess if they continue like this.

Gawd. Laine with a snipe and a half. One can dream of Gaudreau setting that guy up for years.

I really can't think of an international hockey fan base that I have less respect for than the Swedes. The fans and the arrogance of their players over the past 5 ten years makes them pretty easy to route against. I think I dislike them more than the Russians now (and that is hard for me to say).
Is it ok for me, as a Swede, to cheer for the Flames?

Lol, im heading over for the World Cup next year. Will be my first visit to Canada and im absolutely thrilled about it. The next hocketrip will go to Calgary. And there is no chance in hell that i will say that im from Sweden

Weird to be on this side as a Finnish fan. We have the scoring stars and we've dominated most of the game, but Russia keeps holding the fort with strong system game, opportunistic scoring and great goaltending.

Total role reversal.

Let your colors fly man! Don't let some sour Norwegians and Finns and Danes make you think twice about expressing your national pride while you're in Canada. You'll be welcomed like anyone else.

It's not like you'll be a Syrian moving to butt-hole middle of nowhere Alberta.

Man, I have a hockey crush on Korshkov. Just does all the little things great. Love the skating style. 20 pounds on that frame and he's be a beast in the NHL.

YES! What a fantastic game! That first line for Finland is amazing. This is going to be a barn burner.
