"because they have never managed to win gold medals at the home championship" @hckošice , more like we never have managed to win a medal in general xd

That 3rd period reminds me a lot of the 3rd period back in 2011, Gold medal game between Finland & Sweden...

But you have to play Czech Republic with a coach

I got 2/4 predictions correct, gotta love this sport

VICTORYYY!!!!!!!! Thank you Slovakia for a GOOD MATCH!

MARKO ANTTILA DOES IT YET AGAIN!!! SCORES WHEN FINLAND NEEDS HIM TO SCORE!!

Okay. WHAT A 1st PERIOD Best period from Slovakia in this whole tournament so far. Finland was completely caught by surprise.

I did predict Czechia to bounce back, but Sweden? Holy choke lol

Yeah, i have troubles believing myself.... Olkinuora is SO DAMN GOOD

So @hckošice, once again it's Finland vs Slovakia...

I guess Slovakia actually wanted to play in the quarterfinals & Denmark just wanted to go home lol

I'd say you're right. The old guys are finnish hockey legends & the ladies are familiar faces with our Women's national team. Not 100% certain with the guys, because i'm not that familiar with our hockey stars of the past lol

What a legend. It feels like he's been playing for Team Switzerland forever It's going to be difficult to imagine the Swiss team without him...

Yay, both Lindell & Heiskanen are playing now for Finland against the UK!

Krejci-Pastrnak-Cervenka. Damn. Match-up between Finland & Czech Republic will be interesting after all...

Sweden is always a tough opponent to fight. SHOOTOUT! Also, i still hate the 3v3 OT format lol

AUSTRIA??!?

Sweden is definitely hoping that Dallas advances to Round 2... So much room for NHL players :D
