Well, the Olympics are not about winning everything - it's about being better than Sweden. #teamnorway

As a swede, you guys are fuuuuucking hard to beat at cross country skiing.
Yeah, but have we ever beaten you in hockey? GG, fellow Scandinavian
jaakkopaakkonen
Interesting fact. Only two countries in the world where ice hockey is the biggest sport. Finland and the other one.
tballs
Some years we let other people win. Cause we feel sorry for them for trying so hard and not getting gold.

And then there's Russia.

As a Canadian, sorry for being so excited.

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
Crosby and McDavid wouldn't be on the same line unfortunately.

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

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.
cookiesfornoone
I'm pretty sure austrian people never say "Ach nein."
AustriaNotAustralia
We say “auweh Auweh“ when something unfortunate comes up

I prefer @expertLevelProcrastinator 's version: "oida naa" :D

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
Finland and Portugal .... 2/2

There is a reason no one wants to play against you canada. you basically have your own rules, which means: no rules.

Beating Sweden is almost as good as winning gold

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
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.
Laserswrd
Goes both ways :) IF sweden gets eliminated Finland does get my cheer though
mcjesusxDDDDDD
*when Sweden gets eliminated
CrossBetween
That goes both ways too, dear neighbor! v PS. Good luck, you’re gonna need it - as always. ;)

The closer you get to the finnish border the less this is true. But then we have to live with the fins gloating.

Beating us?.... Haha

Remember in 2003 when we (Sweden) where down 5-1 and won 5-6? Good times! ????

No NHL players, no longer the pinnacle of hockey
Love seeing the best vs the best

Can you please explain?
NHL is not allowing players to go this year. All best US Canada and and most of best Europeans play in the NHL

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
on switzerland. They've always had a pretty decent team with few NHL players

We are better underdogs than favourite...so this doesnt sound right
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!
Yeah, and finlands stuff is ours. According to our WW2 slogan.
And finlands problems are ours, translating the same slogan differently.
More like Finlands cause is ours. But in swedish cause and thing is the same word.
Not a very popular opinion eastwards xD
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
But if i don't exist, how can i a comment on imgur? Am i a bot?
GrabEmByTheEmbassy
It's Russia's to lose.
Russia is banned from attending lol
Yeah? No.
there you go
Call them OAR... its still the Russian team https://www.hockeycanada.ca/en-ca/team-canada/men/olympics/2018/stats/game-summary?gameid=1815
some athletes from russia are aloud to go but technically cannot represent Russia

There's no NHL players, Canada shouldn't be able to facestomp so easily.

They're pretty much guaranteed the quarterfinals given their division.

Im canadian and when the nhl officially ruled this basically all of canada sighed

Well we'll still dominate in the woman's league no matter what.

You haven't played team Minnesota, I mean USA, yet
You guys do usually put up a challenge. So best of luck!

HOLY SHIT! THAT WAS ONE HELL OF A GAME!
SanSabaSongbird
Thank god Russians can't play or the KHL would have won gold. I mean the Russian national team.....
Uhmm... Khl Players are playing
Ragingwalrus
Why can’t the Russians play?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLaren_Report
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.
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.
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.
Chainhealer
The point was to ban doping users.
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
