Finland 5-3 Slovakia - Finland Secure Bronze | Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics

[@ehthrough]

American here. This Slovakian team is my favorite hockey team of all time. I was so into this game and so crushed when they lost.

[@billssportsandwrestlingchan]

I agree, they had a lot of heart.

[@jarmokarila]

RIP Pavel Demitra

[@tomasino5851]

Pavol

[@mickey2148]

Demitra's big chance in semifinal 15 second to go. Here hit the post one minute to go. After this match he was devastated. Year after in home unsuccesfull championship he cried in last game for national team. And many fans cried with him. In next months this sport tragedy ends to tragedy worst. RIP, Paul, he left the heart and soul on ice. Thank you. Never forget.

[@Haideggeri]

As a finnish fan I feel sympathy for the slovakian team. They may have deserved the olympic medal.

[@topiheimola69]

Samaa mieltä

[@Martina-Kosicanka]

How lovely of you! I remember how excited I was when we had a big lead. And then the frustration afterwards 😸 Respect to Finland anyway, you are my second favorite team, right after the Czech one

[@jasonmaruszak812]

My two favorite teams of this Olympics. Great team play.

[@humac09]

Krásne spomienky, škoda, že sme to nedali :) Nevadí, nezabudnem, na zápasy s Kanadou a Fínskom, strašne som bol vtedy opitý :))

[@beo8125]

Tento rok sa nám to podarilo a nezaváhali sme :) :D

[@ckna007]

Timeline from 1:29:16 to 1:40:34 was worst part of slovak ice hockey history. It was most memorable and saddest time line of each slovak fan. I remember just depression and sadness while watching these 10 minutes of that game in early morning. From heroes to failure. 3 absurd penalties during 10 minutes ruined our dreams. Up to this day i think that these 3 penalties were just nonsense.

[@DomaUM2]

1-3 goal from demitra was the nicest goal of the game! Just Amazing!

[@things2593]

the referee fell at 2:00:12

[@whieILIKESWIFTy]

Slovakia : 9 000 registered hockey players Finland : 55 000+ maybe even more.

[@fifafinnish4340]

whieILIKESWIFTy i think you gonna be jealous

[@kristinawashington1773]

Truly enjoyed watching this.

[@billssportsandwrestlingchan]

I was going for the Slovaks, but I do love Selanne and Saku (I'm a Habs fan). Teemu won 4 Olympic Medals, which I think is a record during the NHL era, plus two World Championship medals, and a Junior! Not to mention being in the finals of the 2004 World Cup of Hockey. Poor guy could never get the Gold anywhere, but it shows what he truly means to the country of Finland, and the growth of hockey there, only Jari Kurri rivals him in that regard.

[@Serkkulainen]

Thanks for this! Good game:)

[@debil5533]

Slovakia was better on this tournament and deserved to win. It was 100% biggest hockey mistake that Slovakia didnt win this game. That was worst and saddest match at their history of hockey. its 2014 and still painfull for them :((

[@WhatNoNo-fx1tj]

?

[@hankdasilva3817]

De Bil They clearly weren't. If anyone made a mistake, it was the Slovakian team, and it lasted 60 minutes.

[@jaroslavgyepes894]

You are 100%true you must be hockey player northamerica refereas has stolen to this amazing generation of slovakia the madals when not gold then 100% bronz medals.

[@eucalyptus3002]

we were up by 2 in the 3rd. Demitra was right on, being 4th or last is the same. Palffy's performance on the tournament was probably even bigger disappointment than ending up without a medal. and we still managed to lose to Czechs on yet another Olympic Games

[@alsatiancousin2905]

Nice! Thank you.

[@Nickname006]

That intro always gives me chills.

[@TheQneb]

Im from finland and happy for bronze but as a ducks fan im sad, that Visnovsky didint get medeal. He's just great d-man, one of my favourite ones.

[@tuoml9912]

Olli Jokinen goals Two amazing goals! Finland forever

[@ardemua]

Finland is the only country to have gotten 5 olympic medals since 1988 in men's hockey.

[@Panoramix0903]

Toto nikdy nepochopím. Vyhrávať 3:1 a prehrať 3:5

[@jaroslavgyepes894]

Co nepochopis rozhodci ich dodrbali.co je na tom take nepochopitelne.

[@petero8186]

Tak vyhravame 2:1 a od vtedy vylucovali iba nas keby si kukal cely zapas video by si ze finsko ties takto faulovalo a nebolo vylucene ako nasi zrazu ked prehravame len vtedy si dovolili odpiskat faul konecne aj nam..

[@hazard7372]

samy sme si to prehrali lebo sme zbytočne faulovali rozhodcovia za nič nemožu to boli čisté fauly

[@DomaUM2]

I'm from finland and i support team finland, but I have to say, 1-1 goal from gaborik was amazing!

[@Padauschii_Meteorit]

Словаки всё равно большие молодцы!

[@alexbelkin5445]

Great GAME !

[@jackalhill3400]

1:40:28 hear No

[@soty391]

The most painfull game in Slovak ice hockey history 😏

[@johanjohansson1511]

I always hated Demitra but it was all because he never ever played in my teams that i cheered for and when we played against him he always scored those flashy goals. What an incredible player and so sad he died so early. R.I.P Pavol Demitra. // Sweden hockey fan and Detroit Red Wing fan.

I hate this game. We lost the medal in last 15 minutes... sad end of nice tounament...

2:04:15 Halak is like: "What if Jokinen didint get on fire just tonight with 2 goal game........ History will be made"

[@Kirmukarmu]

Eläköön SUOMI!

[@BaumerPaulGefreiter]

It is interesting that there are 2 countries where hockey is evenly popular and both are equally populated, but only one of them is very succesful and strong (Finnland), while the other is weak and unsuccesful over the years (Slovakia).

[@topiheimola69]

Finland just has so much more players..

[@cassiusclay8771]

Na toto sa smutne pozera aj po 12 rokoch

Uh, olympicvancouver2010, you misspelled "bronze". Bronze is spelled with an N, not an M.

[@xpelijonne2087]

so happy for Teemu

[@justinbrooks4597]

Where is the commentary?

[@OvieSnipez8]

That isn't what all NHLers think when their team don't make the Playoffs. Every Country that participates in the IIHF WANT THE GOLD, they'll cherish it Olympic medal or not. You wouldn't understand, Knowing you're not in the NHL.

[@pyllywaltteri]

@D4l1b0r It's goals that count

[@88Freefall]

In Finland you have to register even if you're playing just for fun... it's for the insurance.....

[@hrotpera]

@BaumerPaulGefreiter to get the answer you need to compare number of registered players, number of ice rinks and amount of money invested in ice hockey. Slovaki got 3 medals between 2000-2010 on WC, you 'weak' and unsuccesful'

[@Hermann3635]

That was last chance for Slovakia. We are 5 mil.people state just like Finland, but Finland is rich country and hockey is expensiv sport. Slovakia is economik poor state with big emigration of young people to west.

[@fifafinnish4340]

Milan Malecky rich? we are very big contry but we never been at the top so yeet

[@tmaasd]

Thank you, indeed, but fix the typo ;) BROMZE

[@fifafinnish4340]

in slovakia is more people on finland

[@TheMrZeppo80]

Bromze Final :D

[@BaumerPaulGefreiter]

The Slovaks seem to have been totally overmotivated. Have a look at their grimaces, especially when they celebrate a goal: these are grimaces of fanatics (not in a good meaning..)! On the other hand, the Finns were calm, well-balanced and intelligent. For the Finns ice hockey is not the sole opportunity to win an olympic medal - therefore the pressure on their players is not as deadly high as in the case of Slovaks. This is why team Finland usually win a valuable medal at the Olympic Games.

[@jaroslavgyepes894]

Yes that is true that slovakia players was overmotivaded,but why they have known that is the last chance fot this great generation to win the some medal on a great tournament such is winter olympic games.

[@Jupex]

[@151bar151]

[@realbraf]

Teemu Selänne was a totally useless player for Finnish team in Vancouver 2010 Olympic tournament, in everyway. His playing was a simply disaster. Zero goals and points in whole tournament. Niklas Hagman was best scorer of Finnish team in this tournament. Olli Jokinen was also the key player in this tournament and also bronze game. With his personal skills and 2 goals Olli made winning possible in bronze game. However, he did not got much credit about this from Finland team's coachs, not in this tournament and not other tournaments where he played well and was often the key player of the whole Finnish team. The right place for Teemu Selänne in most games in this tournament should have been bench. Especially because his attitude and ability for defense playing was almost in a zero level. What a fuck he was doing in the ice during whole tournament ??? ! ! !

[@topiheimola69]

Thats just basic Selänne in most of his more recent international tournaments

[@DrZaius]

Moron

[@s22t]

"Zero goals and points in whole tournament." Not true: he had 0+2 in 6 games.

[@rl20777]

Myslim si že keby Slovensko vyhralo nad Kanadou v zapase o postup do finále tak na 95% máme zlato na tejto olympiáde...

[@martinkis9570]

Tiež si to myslím už vyše 10 rokov. Ale my jednoducho mame najväčšiu smolu. Myslím ze s USA by sme vyhrali. Tam mala padnúť ta Palova šanca 10 sekúnd pred koncom a Kanada by bola neskutočne pod tlakom a naši by už dominovali v predĺžení a asi aj nájazdoch. To by bol viac pametny zápas ako semifinále v 2002. Žiaľ nestalo sa.
