Agreed. JJ has a golden touch. NHL teams should be following him closely.

I'm not sure sure about that... I consider him the best coach in Finland, but I don't think NA players are ready for his style of hockey. (And I don't mean that as a slight on NA players, it's just that the culture is quite different.)

 

[Phenomenon]

That win is probably a great boost for the future of Finnish hockey.

This win gives a great boost for young players in the Finnish League- both for themselves as well as for the audience.

I hope that Finnish team learn that it is for their best in the long term to develop young players rather than recruit veterans without any motivation from elsewhere.

Yesss what a game that was. Man these WJC games are entertaining. SUOMI VOITTOOOOOOOON! I love the mental strength this younger generation seems to have. I hope that will bring about a crucial change to the national team so that we still have our eyes on the prize even if we are down in this big games and that we can prevail in the finals (talking about our lousy record in finals, too many silver medals over the years).

Yeah, you said it, how many times did we pull of comeback wins in this tournament?

Georgiev has started most of their games. Maybe Samsonov has an injury, or has been sick, etc. Could also be that he was selected because he plays in the Finnish league against most of our players.

JVG - Voitolla Yöhön
Antti Tuisku - Peto On irti

Those are the songs played in that "goal song". They are just mixed together i think

Btw i hate those songs

Thanks a lot!
Well the remix sounds kinda funny, at least if you dont understand anything

EDIT: I guess this is the full remix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3afPxZhJIw
Sounds funny af if you dont know the language

 

[LOFIN]

He say this is hockey at best its only that we getting the next goal, we have alot more stamina then our opponent,

Then the journalist asking him if he says "is its Finland turn this year?" "yeah i probably saying that"

Haha gotta love that kid! i wish him a good future!

Thx!

Björkqvist interview on Swedish tv just minutes after that Russian goal. Love the attitude!

Yeah he is a funny guy

I bet that Jukka Jalonen will be coaching an NHL team one day. He is one of the coaches that is able to outplay the opponents in the tactical level.

After all I don't think it matters. Georgijev played a terriffic game, and it was not his fault Russians lost.

 

[Crosbyfan]

Yeah he is a funny guy

He sounded pretty upbeat... what did he say?

Of course this is going show eventually at the men's level when these and even younger players make the core of the men's team. But still, often the problem at men's level has been the lack of gamewinning goalscorers. On the other hand one could speculate if something had not changed in this area in the junior coaching then Puljujärvi and Laine probably wouldn't be the prospects they are now.

Not sure if this viewable outside of Finland but scenes from Sports Academy sports bar in Helsinki during the OT goal: http://www.iltasanomat.fi/mmkiekko/art-1451976541468.html

 

[llwyd]

Well, well, how should I put this, rather, hmm, nice... Russia was really absolutely impressive: worked hard, had skillfull and quick players and were superorganized defensively, more like a traditional Finnish team in that sense. And Finland was erratic in defence but brilliant in attack, rather like a traditional Russian team, weird. A great match and so even, could have gone either way.

 

[Finnpin]

Yeah he is a funny guy

Yeah he even threw F-bomb in gold celebrations.

 

[Past Considerations]

Yeah, you said it, how many times did we pull of comeback wins in this tournament?

In every game except against Belarus and Russia. Thanks for Russia for the lesson

Hahaa! What The Game! By both Teams.

...and one of best, positive, exemplary incarnations to a real meaning of Finnish SISU!

 

[LeftBackLegend]

This is how you take a tough loss on the chin. Great sportsmanship from Russian fans, and a great team they had to cheer on as well. This was a final for the ages.

 

[JC Numminen]

Didn't get to see anything past the 2nd period. Sounds like quite the finish!

Anyone have videos of the tying goal and the winning goal? (In English)

 

[Teukka]

So I just went to the Yle main site and sure enough, there was a headline about the biggest monkey in world history. Due to these hours of psychological conditioning, I immediately thought that the article was about the monkey Kapanen had on his back

Kasperi: I'm sorry I doubted you. The younger super kids outshined you as expected, but you came through when necessary. Thank you, Kasperi Kapanen. Best regards, someone who didn't initially want you in the team and was very vocal about it.
