We won't be sorry this time...
storknivarn
Brace yourself. Sweden is coming
jaakkopaakkonen
Interesting fact. Only two countries in the world where ice hockey is the biggest sport. Finland and the other one.
SwedenAndersson
Meanwhile Sweden is like "k"

To the right is Austria right...right....? AUSTRIA RULES XD

"ach nein" is too German.. Austrians would say "oida naa" ;)

JohnnieTheShrubber
Not this year, Chris Kelly is our captain and Maxime Lapierre is on the first line.
wabitgirl
And then there's Russia.

Some years we let other people win. Cause we feel sorry for them for trying so hard and not getting gold.
delMooTaker
As a Canadian, sorry for being so excited.
KenAdams42
It is actually pronounced: PERKELE!!
JIGJAG1
Even though im canadian sort of glad nhlers camt compete. Could you imagine mcdavid and crosby on the same team? on the same line? Too much
MaybeADoctor
Crosby and McDavid wouldn't be on the same line unfortunately.
Myowngrampa
CANADA!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO! *jumps up & spills maple syrup*

Let's do that hockey!
chakaru111
There is a reason no one wants to play against you canada. you basically have your own rules, which means: no rules.
BusinessScythe
Hockey will suck for us this year. Not even sure if I'm going to watch. :(
InadequatelyLongUserName
No idea why anyone would watch. Whoever wins hasn't beaten the best. Merely won a random competition, like the world championships.
norwegiansilverfox
Well, the Olympics are not about winning everything - it's about being better than Sweden. #teamnorway
Keru
As a swede, you guys are fuuuuucking hard to beat at cross country skiing.
norwegiansilverfox
Yeah, but have we ever beaten you in hockey? GG, fellow Scandinavian

idontknowyoufromadam
Someone edited https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_hockey_at_the_Olympic_Games#Medal_winners to show the 2018 medalists as Soviet Union, 1/2
idontknowyoufromadam
Finland and Portugal .... 2/2
catch6229
Russia is the overwhelming favorite though...

Russia isn't in the winter Olympics though

I'm pretty sure austrian people never say "Ach nein."
AustriaNotAustralia
We say “auweh Auweh“ when something unfortunate comes up
dreikommavierzehn
I prefer @expertLevelProcrastinator 's version: "oida naa" :D

Not looking forward to it this time around
SuperRockinMrMagic
No NHL players, no longer the pinnacle of hockey
batmobile2
Love seeing the best vs the best
sp1cychick3n
Can you please explain?
SuperRockinMrMagic
NHL is not allowing players to go this year. All best US Canada and and most of best Europeans play in the NHL

Yeah but from where? You can’t just throw a number out there without saying where they are from so we can get their opinion.

Like all of South America.

Beating Sweden is almost as good as winning gold
PyllyNalleMissionaries
Well, we finns did both a few years back
JokiBee
And then we go to Tori!
Ryssaroori
Perkele, beating the Swedes AND winning gold simultaneously is the best!
AimForTheLittleToe
As a kid i remember my mom didn't like sports, but whenever it was Sweden vs. Finland we'd all gather up in front of the tv.
caoranach
Remember listening to the final swe-fin on the radio and the caster yelled WTF DO YOU MEAN THERE'S NO WAY WE'RE CUTTING FOR ADS FUCK YOU
AimForTheLittleToe
I genuenly thought for the longest time that if you beat finnland you win the whole shebang, no matter if it was qualifications or final.
Derivative0914
Beating us?.... Haha
FuzzyLama
Oh it's on. You wanna bet a pizza?

As is being canada
Laserswrd
Goes both ways :) IF sweden gets eliminated Finland does get my cheer though
mcjesusxDDDDDD
*when Sweden gets eliminated
hyenan
The closer you get to the finnish border the less this is true. But then we have to live with the fins gloating.
CrossBetween
That goes both ways too, dear neighbor!
v PS. Good luck, you’re gonna need it - as always. ;)
jimmythesaint
Remember in 2003 when we (Sweden) where down 5-1 and won 5-6? Good times! ????
Amono
That game was legendary.
Milfhunter6000
Next day in school not a word was spoken. Was a day of mourning - cheers from ur neighbor

Your username already tells what we all want to say
magicflying
There's no NHL players, Canada shouldn't be able to facestomp so easily.
Gradieus
They're pretty much guaranteed the quarterfinals given their division.
bronypokey6918
Thats where you're wrong hoser
GoogleDATshiz
Im canadian and when the nhl officially ruled this basically all of canada sighed
SanSabaSongbird
Thank god Russians can't play or the KHL would have won gold. I mean the Russian national team.....
Ragingwalrus
Why can’t the Russians play?
InadequatelyLongUserName
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLaren_Report
FuzzyLama
Uhmm... Khl Players are playing
Kronzor
They are playing. They aren't allowed to wear the flag, but they're competing as Olympic Athletes from Russia (OAR)
MakeCuntGreatAgain
I'm excited to see Pavel on the big stage again.
Kronzor
I would be but the games are all at ridiculous hours in my local time zone so I probably won't watch any. And I'm a massive hockey fan.
PV2moller
Which is retarded in and of itself. All you did was get rid of the Russian flag, i thought the point was to ban the country, not their flag.
Chainhealer
The point was to ban doping users.
PV2moller
It was systemic. The Russian govt was running the doping. They only banned the players who were caught, and the rest most certainly knew 1/2
nitrodragon54
And the whole point is so many of these athletes are doping (funded by the state) in a way that they get away with it regardless of testing.
TheBlackestKey
Well we'll still dominate in the woman's league no matter what.
WhoYouGonnaCallGhostNappa
You haven't played team Minnesota, I mean USA, yet
TheBlackestKey
You guys do usually put up a challenge. So best of luck!

HOLY SHIT! THAT WAS ONE HELL OF A GAME!
viludium
I'm pretty sure that Finland has a really good chance to win in ice hockey this time. But as long as we beat Sweden, everything is okay.
Mehibernation
We are better underdogs than favourite...so this doesnt sound right

Saata-nope
Icompletelyagreewitheverythingyouvesaidsofar
Yeah but you don’t exist
FrostySeal
Sick reference bro.
BenderBendingRrodriguez
Well, it's a 50/50 chance that Finland does or doesn't exist. It's pretty much schrodinger's land
viludium
But if i don't exist, how can i a comment on imgur? Am i a bot?
DracidWasTaken
be interesting to see who wins this year. No NHL players this year levels the playing field a bit. If i had to bet, my money would be 1/2
DracidWasTaken
on switzerland. They've always had a pretty decent team with few NHL players
ReferenceGameOnPoint
WHAT THE FUCK IS ICE HOCKEY! IT'S JUST HOCKEY. sorry
BuzzKillingisProChildDiddling
Agreed
boywonderscore
Found the Canadian!

{stares angrily in Canadian}
tankh
khora
In our hearts Finland is still a province of Sweden, so we can't really lose.
UmbrellaCoJanitor
As a fellow swede i can vouch for this!
hyenan
Yeah, and finlands stuff is ours. According to our WW2 slogan.
Milfhunter6000
Not a very popular opinion eastwards xD
khora
And finlands problems are ours, translating the same slogan differently.
hyenan
More like Finlands cause is ours. But in swedish cause and thing is the same word.
GrabEmByTheEmbassy
It's Russia's to lose.
DracidWasTaken
Russia is banned from attending lol
GrabEmByTheEmbassy
Yeah? No.
DracidWasTaken
there you go
