[haddi17]

Congratulations to Finland from Slovakia, you deserved to be champions!!! And not only because of this awesome goal from Granlund... unbelievable guts and skill from this young player to score a goal like this.. and to do this in a WCH semifinal, that's even more impressive!

BTW: the commentary is great, i can't understand a word, but i could watch and listen to it over and over again :)

[Rubellaaa]

@haddi17 Thanks! Antero Mertaranta is a legend. We can´t watch ww-hockey without him :D I know it sounds like he is just shouting, but it´s so much more. He is brilliant, uses some really strange and funny sentenses all the time. 

[xTwo2Twox]

SUOMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!! <3<3

[TheFerinooo]

I hope Finland will beat Sweden in final......greeting from Czech republic

[GoochRSC]

[snattux]

Arvostan sitä et Granlundil ei noussu kusi päähä ton maali jälkee ku haastattelussaki sanoo vaa vaatimattomasti et se oli vaa yks maali ja täst jatketaa eteeppäi. Hyvä Mikke!

[medof2]

[Suomalia2100]

LOL@2:39 Jari Kurri is like "I'm not impressed, I could have done that too" and Timo Jutila just keeps getting bigger.

[HockeyGamer94]

@Suomalia2100 And Jutila have snuff in he's mouth ;D

(Snuff=Nuuska?)

[JX46]

@HockeyGamer94 Snus. Snuff = sitä tavaraa, jota laitetaan nenään ("Nenänuuska").

[HockeyGamer94]

@JX46 Okay, eli älä luota google translateen ;)

[tocci88]

KAUNIS!!

[TheAsdma]

<3 Granlund

[Koriamies]

Bykov tunnusteli kielellään onko syanidihammas varmasti paikallaan...

[Glariott]

The beauty of it is that he is obviously having fun while playing the game of hockey in an imaginative and creative way, not thinking about the big bucks on their way. Just pure joy from the sport. Or at least it seems that way. Go Granlund!!

[garxii]

This is bananatastic!! xD

[Lycanthr0py]

Cant. Stop. Watching...

[J0B3S]

Barulin: "Omg, what the fuck just happened?"

[vanessah90]

I am so proud!!!!! love it!!! <3

[vanessah90]

Granlund is The Beast!!!! 

[Juuzo23]

Siinä on Ovechkinillej a kumppaneille vähän mallia miten tehdään maaaali!!!

Eihän Venäjä saanut maaliakaan koko ottelussa :D

Lisäksi Mikael Granlund on Maaaaaginen!!!



[Juuzo23]

Granlund on Maaaginen!!! Kiitos Leijonat, Kiitos Mertzi tää oli uskomaton taistelu!

[heksuonheksu]

Chuck Norris wanted to change his surname to Granlund. Mikael Granlund just did not let him to.

[tatzka90]

3rd page in most watched (sports)

[juba8D]

For those who like the commentator's enthusiasm, here /watch?v=49wB6vU2VMk he takes enthusiasm to a whole new level!

[dimitraider]

Although I'm russian got to say OMG!!!!!! WTF???? One of the best goals in champ's history, congrads Finland!

[123tanzu321]

and he is 19 years old guy... :)

[raiko247]

Fintastic



[weirdo0e]

6 Russians found this video

[odu20]

@kompik "On se sellainen Häkki" rougly translated means "Its one of those goals"

[TMSapphiroN]

@odu20

Probably better translation in this specific case is "One hell of a goal."

[kompik]

What "onseselainen haki" (cca 0:55) means?

[koblers123]

Hahaha.... did Russians in their victory's hole! GREAAAT! Latvia is with Finland! :D

[2aprill]

just 1 sentence.

Whate the Fuck was that? :D

[zambranomania]

che faccia di cazzo il portiere russo!!piglialo a canasta uomo della steppa!!

[TheS1enestaja]

Omg, the guy is 19 and he can pull off something like this in semifinals! That's pretty good..(understatement)

[sirRobinFi]

2:03 That's pure joy : )

[DopeTorre]

NY RILLATAA!



[heksuonheksu]

Chuck Norris wanted to change his surname to Granlund. Mikael Granlund just did not let him to.

[MrIttna]

The best thing about that are the faces of the Russians after the goal!

[WWENewsful]

That's so awesome!!! What a goal! :)

[DEDVader]

Fantastic!!!

[SOCIOPATHPSYCHOPATH]

It wasn't so special...

[lautaset]

VOI MORJES!!!!

[Kompostoori]

Ny rillataa!

[InnessUSSR]

This first goal is just a circus trick:) Great! Congrats to Finland! You absolutely deserved the win.

I hope this championship will make a positive effect on Russian team and the coach politics in general. At least this should make them to bring in some changes.

I love Finish commentators, they are always so emotional, even in the matches that don't involve Finland:) Mikaaa maaaaliiii Have no idea what it means but it's exiting

[liisalota]

@InnessUSSR

what a goaaaal! :)

[LifeGoesOnSK]

Russians just fucked it up by calling video-referee..They should accept received goal like this proudly..

[acedudeace]

ebin

[HockeyGamer94]

@HeHeTommii Are you kidding me or did you watch that match to all??

Granlund almost beat every corner head to head matches against Russians.

Watch this game before you come here to writing stupid comments :)

[reimond30]

@HeHeTommii jealous much? :o

[reimond30]

@HeHeTommii oh and btw Granlund's done 2 better shootout goals than that forsberg of urs in 1994 -.- and he's only NINETEEN

[T2000TT]

@HeHeTommii Forsberg never moved against Canada in a WC Finals to win the gold medal... NOOB

[Wint3rMetal]

@HeHeTommii

Why can't people just get over Forsberg ? He scored that penalty shot 17 years ago... Granlund scored this yesterday!!!

[twint1p]

@HeHeTommii neither of them are 19 years old. how the hell he is too overrated? ja nimestä päätellen oot suomalainen joten pliis ota se crosbyn kuvalla varustettu dildo perseestäs ja muuta ruotsii

[Glondige]

@HeHeTommii omfg are you blind or just stupid or something?

[K1ngggg]

@HeHeTommii "nicer" LOL

[iFinlander]

@HeHeTommii "overrated" ?? Hes not even fucking rated yet, nobody knew who Granlund is before IIHF WC 2011. Oh, and these are hes a first-timer in adult hockey world cup. Nuff salad.

[Wilzu333]

@HeHeTommii Crosby was still behind the goal he did that while skating idiot

[er4iks]

Congratulations Finland!

Greetings from Latvia.

[jjfkm]

@mattlevanen The 6 guys on the ice to be more precise.

[HeHeTommii]

Yes it was a great goal but Granlund is too overrated if you remember what forsberg did in 1994 on lillehammer olympics final goal it was much much greater than granlunds and saku koivu is much better than granlund its useless to even compare ja olen suomesta että ei tarvitse siihen ottaa kiinni heti ensimmäisenä

[MahiProductions]

@HeHeTommii idiootti...

[liisalota]

Great goal and great commentaries by Finnish journalists. Have been listening again and again. And laughing. :D

But Russian journalists were commenting good as well: Definitely the best goal of WC11, pity only that in our cage. :)

Happy to understand both languages. :)

Go Finland Go!

Greetings from Estonia!

[TheWoWEncore]

The most enthusiastic commentator in the world! Antero Mertaranta

[Jaaaaaaaaaanzbo]

MADE IN FINLAND!

[kemronirons]

Almost as good as Sidney Crosby

/watch?v=KQqm-hpNHWk

[TheWoWEncore]

@kemronirons Id say that Granlund's goal is better cause of the situation he did it. The WC semifinal and this guy does an airhook, nobody is that cold headed than this sir!

[XEdgarsX]

@kemronirons Way better, than Crosby!

[maisteri]

@kemronirons Except this is the World Cup, not some lousy national league.

[Wint3rMetal]

@kemronirons

Yeah well Sidney had more time to prepare his move since there wasn't anyone coming for him behind the net. Granlund had to pass 2 russian players and then think fast quickly as hell what he should do while he has the same 2 russian players after him..

[garxii]

@kemronirons Crosbys goal wasn't even hard, he was standing behind the goal, as Granlund first took the puck from Russian player, then passed the other player and then from did the goal on the run!!! That was freakin beast!! Besides Granlund played the whole game like BEAST!!!!! So F*** YOU!

[siirappi12345]

[Devildriver74]

i tried, i really did, but i just couldnt stop laughing at this announcer....

[Twinsina]

Awesome :D It's history's most beautiful goal :D Look at Barulin's (the Russian goalkeeper) face :D GO FINLAND! ♪(*^^)o∀*∀o(^^*)♪

[Jefrma]

there was one word that raced through my mind when I saw this: FLOORBALL!! That was 100% a floorball-goal people!! "someone" has tried with that sport as well besides hockey heh <;)

[GoodVibesOfficial]

♪♫♥ !

[FINhassu]

hope you can do this on nhl 2012

[TheRandomFinn]

@FINhassu Kaikki tietää sen nyt, kute SM:s se yritti tota mut veska vaa sano et oon nähny ton youtubes :D

Every1 knows it now, like in SM he tried it but the goalie has seen it on youtube :D

[under5seconds]

om freaking word............doing this at this level at this place when your being chased behind the net...incredible

[agrinjo88]

awesome shot!

[edgars2010]

that was really awesome. Grandlund — MVP

[Sukkasanteri]

Ihmetellykkin miks kukaan ei ikinä tee tämmösiä tuolla.... 

[TheRandomFinn]

Mitäs jos näyttäs tän videon Ray William Johnsonille?

[Lotos821]

492 - HIGH STICKING THE PUCK

a) Stopping or batting the puck with the stick above the height of the shoulders is

prohibited, and the play shall be stopped, unless:

1. The puck is batted to an opponent in which case the play shall continue and the

Referee shall give the “Wash Out” signal.

2. A player of the defending team bats the puck in his own goal, in which case the

goal is allowed.

Check out 51 sec.

[SchnellM3]

SWEDEN - FINLAND! Northern Europe's two Nordic teams fighting for the GOLD! Very small countries compared to bigger hockey nations! GOOD JOB!

[TheRandomFinn]

@SchnellM3 Indeed, and then compare how big Russia is compared to Finland and then the population.

Also to Sweden ;)

[TheAzall]

I have bad feeling about this. :S -->

1992 - Finland vs Sweden at finals "Sweden won"

1998 - Finland vs Sweden at finals "Sweden won"

Just few sample's there have been many other's but talking straight i would have hoped that check Republic would have won against Sweden what would have been better for my opinion.

Well there is always change that what happened in 1995 when Finland finally won Sweden at finals will happen again, but we will see.

[TheRandomFinn]

@TheAzall Finlands team is not the same old. Its whole new team. That means they are not frozen if the enemy team makes the first goal. They fight to the end and it means alot

[TheAzall]

@TheRandomFinn Well is it never exact same lol. I think my point was that for my opinion its more personal and have more emotions involving in the match when Finland and Sweden are playing against each other, like in other hand if Finland would have been playing against check at finals it would have had a lot less tress and all "Just my opinion" and i am also from Finland, why in the hell i am writing English!? o_o

[TheRandomFinn]

@TheAzall I DONT KNOW!

Well yes, I respect other peoples opinion and its good, and yes you should know that Finland has new team.

And english is good so others understands and its always good to practise it.

Practise makes the champ =)

[Jefrma]

@TheAzall have to agree..our team has too often grounded to the silvery spot. Than again as many have stated, this is a whole new team compared to what things were 10yrs back, so lets at least hope for the best!

[superlativ3]

Best part of the video is Barulin's face after the goal he's looking like what the fuck just happened. =D

[GrooveTopCreative]

the slam dunk of hockey

[nachtastronaut]

just wow :O

[utsnap]

This right here is fukin art i tells ya

[yeye11yeye]

BIG BIG greetings to Finland from ALL REAL Ukrainians!!!

You kicked russian ass and you've done it beautifuly!

Heja Suomi!

Good job guys!

[marchello33]

@yeye11yeye Хахол помолчал бы. Где сука ваша команда хохлятская??

[jk22233]

I absoloutley love the commentator's enthusiasm. Brilliant goal!

[R0bb89]

@jk22233 The commentator is the essence of Finnish Icehockey if you watch it from TV :)

[Smiquli]

@jk22233

Imagine his enthusiasm on Sunday ;)

[ueolin]

Well, well that is magic, just there...

[RollerCoaster47]

He's the only light in the long dark tunnel that is the Minnesota Wild. God I hope we get to see him play in the 2011-2012 NHL season. We need all the offensive help we can get right now.

[soberdans]

Sweden got 42 medals for WC, Finland has 15.

Need i show you more? you're going down on sunday bigtime;)

[Nikotiini69]

@soberdans Sweden lost to Norway. Nuff said.

[solariks]

@soberdans Sweden has already lost the final. In your face!

[veloxneb]

@soberdans ye, you have the history and maybe you beat Finland on Sunday but even if you do, nobody will remember that from these games, they will only remember THIS goal! :D

[TheRandomFinn]

@soberdans Were stronger than ever. New team, not so many big NHL players, and young skilled players like Gralund and Immonen.

Thing is, medals dont tell anything, your going down, and nothing you can do about it ;)

[BrutalBeast666]

@soberdans Are you crying hard now?

[TK8866275]

@soberdans Ranking of the Nordic countries against Finland 2011:

FIN - NOR 4 -1,

FIN - DK 5 -1,

FIN - SWE 6 -1

[soberdans]

@TK8866275 we gave up afte the bad start of the third period we could of done atleast 2-1 or come abck to 3-3 if we played real hockey but we did not

[a575981735977018]

@soberdans If what you say is true, that sweden gave up, then that is really evil thing to do against your own goalie.. Did you see the tears in the swedish goalkeepers eyes after the game? He was crushed... and you say his teammates did not care...

[soberdans]

@a575981735977018 i know the only swedish player that deserves the medal is Our goalie Fasth best goalie in the tournament big credits too him he did a great game without defence thou in the third period but he had you the first 39,53 minutes:)

[soberdans]

@TK8866275 and you have a much better and prepared team, if we had some good players it would be a different story

[TK8866275]

@soberdans It is just the lecture how "one shouldn't count the chickens before they were hatched", one only looks fool if everything doesn't go according the plans. Fasth played real well during the tournament exept that critical last 20 minutes "meltdown" of the whole team. I actually pity for him, even the naming for most valuable player must have felt like taunt in that situation.

[soberdans]

@TK8866275 yeah but no one can say that he was not the best goalie in the tournament it must have felt terrible for him that last 20 minutes , he played like a god al the other games and the first 40 minutes but the bad period start did break him i think

[Pythons80]

Awesome goal, and well-called by the announcer. I'm hoping Finland wins gold.

[linduxz92]

that was awesome :D

[mirkin78]

Defloration of Russia

[ddpsp]

I came for the incredible goal, but I stayed for the incomprehensible commentary.

[ueolin]

@ddpsp I have to love that comment... :)

[Sicraam]

suck on this, fuckin russians. haha

[Pe4enj]

@Sicraam why do you so rude? It's sport. Congrats to your team. You was stronger than we this time.

[Sicraam]

@Pe4enj because of the way the russians conducted themselves throughtout the championship. lol, im not even finnish, i'm just happy that the russians LOST

[Pe4enj]

@Sicraam I see now that you are from Latvia, ok I know that you hate russians, no problem. But I don't understand the reason, nobody in Russia hates Latvia or Estonia. I know there was a historical conflicts in the past, but why do you still got hates?

You happy about Finnish victory, but lost them too, they kicked you from the group:) guys u r really strangers.

[dai10kap]

@Pe4enj

Have you ever been in Latvia more than one year? If you had, then you felt the presure from Russians. In Latvia russians hate latvians more than latvians hate russians! WHY? Beucause russians is dumest nation in the world!

[Sicraam]

@Pe4enj i am not the one that still has hate, the russians in the baltics have hate. they live here, but hate the country they live in. wtf?

and about "nobody in Russia hates Latvia or Estonia" - just look at your prime minister or whoever he is now. i am talking of course about Putin

[InnessUSSR]

@Sicraam Why do they want to prohibit teaching in Russian language at school in Latvia? Even for the Russian population? What's their goal?

[Pe4enj]

@Sicraam Putin is not really popular now. I'm talking about average people. Estonia and Finland is a really popular places for Saint-P tourists.Thousands have houses and summer cottages in Finland and Estonia and go there for weekends. And Latvian Jurmala I guess is very popular tour for Muscovites. So why do they come there if they hate as you say? No I think you are really nice and polite neighbours, no hates=] It's only about internet..

[Pe4enj]

@Sicraam Talking about Finland, my girlfriend is from Finnish Laappenranta and she is amazing and beautiful girl:) So I hope that finns will beat the swedes in final! Gonna be hot match:) Talking about russian team it was really bad champ for them. So many loses.

[HaminaRR]

Watch Bykov 1:32 hahahahahahaha...



[semosaint]

noob

[flexienn]

sick goal!

[jhannuka]

@soberdans Furthermore, its actually front page news in NHL.com as well. With descriptions such as "all-World goal" and "unimaginable goal"...

[eevilpony]

Take that russia! :P

[soberdans]

nothing special the goalie did not pay attention that goal ahs been overused he is like the 100th person to succeed with it? get over yourself finn:p

[HockeyGamer94]

@soberdans How many time you have seen someone do this in World Cup semifinals?

None ;)

(until now)

[soberdans]

@HockeyGamer94 this has been made in Stanley Cup playoffs:) way more intense:) , and i have seen in in the WC before in the elimination rounds but a while back:)

[iFinlander]

@soberdans Omg dude, how many times has this been done in Hockey world cup semi-finals?? And its against one of the best teams in the whole world? Its impressive, even other countrys have said that. Including swedes ;)

[jhannuka]

@soberdans Actually. I bet you cannot find a video from NHL or WC game where someone scores Lacrosse scoop in semi-traffic. If you go and find Sidney Crosbys version of this goal, you will notice that it wasnt scored in NHL nor was it done while moving. If you look at Crosbys lifting of the puck, you also see that it takes much more time than Granlunds.

[soberdans]

@jhannuka i can't because they are not put on utube since there si nothign special about it since 2003-ish:p

[kramppi]

@soberdans y u so butthurt? Or just trollin?

[soberdans]

@kramppi aha just trolling the truth .. ops telling;)

[jokurandomijuha]

@soberdans

Oh please, stop trying to start a fight. You're obviously getting nervous about the upcoming final.

Tell me that goal wasn't amazing.

[soberdans]

@jokurandomijuha not at all we will put you in ut place mr "we have 1 WC gold oo look at us";) even if u would of won , but u wont you would have 2 golds and that is a LOL moment:p

[GTreconGT]

@soberdans You pissed off your sorry ass canadian love boy crosby cant do this shit? This was on a big time professional level you cunt face. This guy is spectacular.
