@MillerIsJesus Ok, I'll make it really easy for ya: Team Sweden has a lot of talent and many times they win because of the individuals, and not because of team play. Team Finland does not have som many talented players usually, but their chemistry is better, they play together better. It's not really hard to understand.. maybe you don't agree, but the idea should be quite clear.
What league would that be? This was the (Unofficial) European championship or Euro Hockey Tour - Only four nations participate in this tournament. Sweden, Finland, Russia and Czech Republic. Checking is allowed in all leagues and tournaments in Europe, although it's not as brutal as sometimes in North America. Fighting is not allowed! Throwing the gloves result in 10+20 automatically.
meh. Finland - Sweden games are always filled with passion and skill, they're always tight and close. Sometimes Sweden wins, sometimes Finland wins, depends on the day. When getting the best possible teams up i think the swedes have better material but as a finn i support my country. One thing's for sure though, our goalkeepers are a lot better! We have Rask, Rinne, Bäckström and Kipper. Sweden has what? Lundquist who needs a really good day to be good, usually he's just okay
@Hukka55 Again, I did not say they had BAD chemistry, I just said that in my mind the finns have better chemistry. Thats all. And I was not talking about juniors, I was talking the World Championships of the past. :) Anyhoo, it's just what I've gleaned from over 20 years of watching WC hockey.
oh! my bad. I guess the finnish langage are super popular! I mean those 185 comments really make a difference. Well at least 100 of them is about how glorious the finnish language sounds like. But anyway, this must mean that finnish is indescribable popular. You are so right, my bad. Not! //Mr quite the opposite.
CAN YOU ALL STOP THIS BROTHERLY FIGHTING both teams are good none of them suck sweden happened to have a less fortunate team in the final finland won deal with it don't fight about it..
@MillerIsJesus I did not say it's not a good team. =) I said finns are better team players. You got individuals with great skill, which leads to them sometimes trying too hard to play on their own, and not as a team. That is one of the reasons the finns can, even with less talent, beat the swedes. Although you don't have it as bad as the Russians, if they'd play well together, as a team, they could rival even Canada.
@Squall17x Hello. I'm from Sweden and I've come here to inform you that making stuff up rarely ends debates. According to the IIHF World Ranking, the highest rated country in the world is Russia, 2nd is Canada and 3rd is Sweden. Finland has to settle with being #4. It is true, though, that the Swedish-Finnish position is the reverse with Sweden being 4th and Finland being 3rd in women's hockey, but, well, that's not hockey. The debate has now been concluded. Thank you.
@MillerIsJesus Sweden has more really talented players coming from it, Finland has the goalies. As far as teams go, it depends on who is on the ice, who is the coach and how the team welds together. Sweden has won some big games and has more medals, but to compare Fin and Sve like that and just decide Sweden is better, well, is a bit ignorant.
@agrundstromer lol we don't have our best players anymore (Hyypiä, Tihinen Kolkka Litmanen etc..) because Miksu is giving the youngsters some playtime for the next euto qualifiers.
@TheAmazingUploader ? now finlands glory days starts.. mikael granlund, jonas donskoi, miikka salomäki, joel armia....... so long list of great young players in finland.. they will win the next gold inside the next 5years
@MillerIsJesus As far as individuals go, we agree. as far as team players go, you we are in disagreement. Finnish have always been, and always will be better team players. And we play better when we're the underdogs. :) And no need to get defensive there, I agree that Sweden has the higher talent coming out from it.. sadly, for the finns. But I also say that this alone does NOT make team Sweden better that team Finland.
@yozoproductions The fact that Finns can be so insecure of themselves. Wherever there are positive news of Finland - no matter how small is the subject, Finnish people are overwhelmed with joy and pride. Then again, in sports for example. Team A beats team B. Only when the beaten team is some Finnish team, has video like this bunch of dislikes, as if doing that would undo the fact that their team lost... Like commenting "6-1" on the video would undo anything. Damn children.
@sillen they are almost as good as sweden... You should hit the books before you say something like that... I'm not saying that Finland is better in any way, just sayin' that they don't suck.
True! Swedish players is now days even better then your Northern America players. Look how we played with your little slow boys in the Jr championship game 31DEC 2010! Sweden have some 60t active hockey players, Canada alone 600t players, and still you lose? Must be all Budweiser and fast fat food? Give your players -Renklämma-, no fries, then you can start to compete again..... Without players from the EU would NHL just be a sad story, those are the facts. :)
@Alundstroem Sorry if I hurt your ego. Just figured I'd point out that your smugness was a bit misplaced. Criticizing someone else for something you suck at yourself is fairly hilarious.
Lol what are you talking about? What voting? I've lived in Sweden for 25 years and I can tell you from experice, which is better then your votings, that maybe 1 out of 100 people in Sweden finds Finnish beatiful and that's because that person is finnish herself. Everytime I hear someone speak Finnish I feel like throwing up, it's godawfull. And please stop saying that Swedish people are gay. It only shows your complex for us, do you know how many times we've helped your country financally?Growup
Naaah, I don't like Swedish goalies. Swedish players are awesome! Read: Lidström, Zeta, Sedins and especially Pääjärvi now! He's great! IMO your goalies are miles away from your players whereas in Finland we have a greater outcome on goalies than players, only about 2 really good youngsters at the moment whereas in sweden young promising players pop p all the time.
5 of 10 swedish males are gay? That means that there were at least 10 gay swedes in that team, Finland got kicked by 10 gay swedes! HAHAHA.. Finns says: You've gotta have balls to handle a puck. I say you need the stick! Sweden rules!
@Alundstroem I find it interesting that you mock other people's ability to speak English yet horribly fail at it yourself. Remember kids, stay in school!
This being proud "for nothing" goes for swedes too. I still remember the euphoria in Sweden when they wom bronze medal in CURLING! Is it even a sport? hahahaha Seriously, both countries are very good and I like them both but sometimes I wish we had as much oil as the Norwegians ;D
@agrundstromer hes 1/3 finnish and you say no1 cares about iihf? hahahahaha you say so cus sweden lost.. who doesnt care about WC? every1 does, except sweden now ^^
Lol, You guys think you are something bigger than you really are! Finnish language is considered to the outside world? Wtf you guys are pitiful! Is that all you can say? "Your language sucks" LOL. Finnish is the second hardest language in the world so a bit respect :D Swedish sounds gay...
va snackar du om? asså respekten är på samma nivå från båda sidor? kolla hur många "sweden sucks" videos de finns på youtube å jämför hur många "finland sucks " vids de ligger uppe.. ni har gjort typ 3 ggr så många ...
Sweden rules...
Love them!
There are good people out there with profound views on the Swedish/Finnish rivalry.
why arguing about the language? im a finn myself and i just love zetterberg on the ice, one of my favorite players :)
Zäta & Weinis, härliga tider.
"Liv har en svettig period 8-6" .. det lät ju väldigt intensivt
Wow, he's so young here.
@Kazumaster I do realize that my sentence was worthless written. It's nothing that I normally do, but for now I'll consider myself beaten :) Bravo
@MillerIsJesus
Ok, I'll make it really easy for ya:

Finland kommer alltid att vara lillebror

Anyhoo, it's just what I've gleaned from over 20 years of watching WC hockey.
Sweden: 2 Olympic Golds, 8 World Championship golds.
Finland: 0 Olympic Golds, 2 World championship golds. LOL

@zampel10 Is that way Sweden have 8 world cup golds and 2 olympic golds and Finland only one WC guld in total?
10-1 What do you say about that?
@Squall17x

@TheGaggagouggu maybe it's because Sweden is a place, not a language
I would say Datsyuk is better all around than Zetterberg but Zetterberg is still damn good
@MillerIsJesus
Sweden has more really talented players coming from it, Finland has the goalies. As far as teams go, it depends on who is on the ice, who is the coach and how the team welds together.

@BreakfloorNerd Come back when you have won 8 Wc golds and 2 olympic golds and when a finn have won the Conn Smythe or Art Ross
heh those uniforms at the beginning look like power rangers outfits
@Alundstroem I'm not entirely sure whether you're being sarcastic there or not. I'm going to call it a day regardless.
thumbs up if you didn't unterstand a word except "Henrik Zetterberg"!
@zombiesrocks you're sad if you think finland is better than sweden in hockey
@ZardaaHD btw how many golds does finland have in the WC and OG?
@TheAmazingUploader ? now finlands glory days starts.. mikael granlund, jonas donskoi, miikka salomäki, joel armia....... so long list of great young players in finland.. they will win the next gold inside the next 5years
is there no checking in this league?
@dkkoover what else can you except from a finnish guy who listens to Bullet For My Valentine and likes Miikka Kiprusoff montages??
aaaah! The time when Z had number 20 ;)
@MillerIsJesus
As far as individuals go, we agree. as far as team players go, you we are in disagreement. Finnish have always been, and always will be better team players. And we play better when we're the underdogs. :)
