there are 3 reasons why this tournament is ridiculously stupid:
1) Outdated Rules: The international rules are terrible and do not keep up with changes in the NHL.
2) Referrees: The way refs make calls are stupid. You poke a goaltender with your stick at the puck and you get a penalty?!
3) Event Takes Place During Playoffs: Great, so this is a total disadvantage for any team from North America where most of its best players are tied up. This should be done during the regular season to allow better players to compete.
Congratulations to Finland though they did play very well but I really hate international hockey rules.
What does Paragon have to say about this? =P
Another reason to be proud of my country.
Ihanaa leijonat, ihanaa!
ppl saying it was luck or etc. are just jealous.

6-1. Finland deserved the win. Swedes need to suck it up and admit that we sucked.
Finland played a beautiful match, sweden sucked and deserved to lose. Embarrased Swede here, but gz Finland
ah, that's aftonbladet. not swedens opinion about you.
did you know aftonbladet is frequently called "Aftonhoran" meaning "the evening whore".
Think of them as swedens very own fox news. except they blow things out of proportion about 600x times mroe than fox news themselves.

well congrats first of all to Finland for thier 2nd WC gold medal in thier national sport ^^
but as a proud SWE i am, im waiting to kick your ass back where it belongs in the Olympics when our best players are not playing stanley cup. and when we dont have atleast 10 first timers in the team!
Congratulations Finland is all I could say to be honest. As for people arguing that some of the major teams got beat or making excuses that their best players are still playing in Play Offs is just lame excuses. The best teams cannot always win everything, you win some, you lose some, that is just the way it works in sports
What, theres actually a country called Finland?
Never heard of them in any sport-related, history-related or world-related events-... what a great country it must be

our national sport is baseball. and there are more players in our other sports than icehockey and baseball now.
