Swedes dominated the entire hockey game and honestly deserved to win, their last gold medal victory was 31 years ago. 58 shots on goal vs 17 shots for Russia, glad to see the swedes beat out the previous champions!

Except when they realize they're being crushed and starts acting like the world championship is parlamentet on ice and leave fasth to take all the blow to the point where he is crying.
Then finland mocks them for losing with the same things they mocked us before the game and call us bad winners and immature.

What the hell does any of that have to do with that game, there's no denying that the entire game between Russia and Sweden, Sweden was dominating. The shots on net alone tell that tale
