For us, it's like football for Spaniards, Italians or Brits, or like synchronized swimming for Swedes and Russians

For those interested in watching real sports, the game starts at 20:15 CEST, in 29 minutes after time stamp of this post. That's 19:15 BST, 2:15 PM EST, 11:15 AM PST.

A tip for those who can not see the final on TV:

You need a VPN, and set location to Spain (long story, don't ask!). Main thing is, let your PC think you are in Spain:



Go to IIHF - Home 2019 IIHF ICE HOCKEY WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

Click the final game on front page:



When the game starts, the left side which now shows "BUY TICKETS" will change to "LIVE STREAM":



Click "LIVE STREAM", and watch the HD stream from Youtube. Live stream has quite good, professional commentary in colonial English.

Another possible place: Kanada – Finska. Prenosi U~ivo, Emitovanje / Hokej na ledu. Svetsko prvenstvo / 26 Maj / LiveTV

Correction: they have blocked the stream for Spain. Set VPN location to Japan, it works:
