GDT: Bronze Medal Game • Jan. 5 • Canada 4 - Finland 0

[CarlWinslow]

Yes. His '93.

I assume at least one Granlund can't so as a result will Armia be looked upon to be one of the primary guns?

 

[Pajicz]

Someone should take away Bulanov's medal. Unless it's an award for the worst referee of the tournament.

Not saying that Finland lost because of refereeing, though.

 

[RaskY]

Granlund is such a beast, can't wait to see this guy play in the NHL.

 

[SoupyFIN]

Good step forward from the earlier years (2009 relegation round remember?) despite two last games being bad. Proud of these players from being able to come back after that horrible first game. Pleasantly suprised with Raipe as well, he showed that he's a hockey coach after all.

This, I had my doubts about Raipe before and at the start of the tournament but he proved me wrong.

 

[Fulcrum]

Grats Canada, you were to better team, i'm just sad the tourny ended this way for us.. that ****ing semi...

There's always next year dude

 

[Winnipeg Jets]

I'm actually more happy that they won the bronze rather than losing the gold.

 

[Pajicz]

I assume at least one Granlund can't so as a result will Armia be looked upon to be one of the primary guns?

Certainly, as he was one of them already this year. Armia, Ma. Granlund and Salomäki should be our primary offensive assets.

 

[Needles]

4th place finish isn't too bad considering our unimpressive defense and the lack of system. With good coaching it's possible to have even better team next year.

 

[dfk711*]

Man I wish DSP didn't get injured..

Yeah I would have loved to see him play the whole tournament.

Same for Olli Maatta

 

[Fulcrum]

How was Comrade Barkov?

 

[Dellly]

Grats Canada, you were to better team, i'm just sad the tourny ended this way for us.. that ****ing semi...

trust me, us too... that ****ing semi...

 

[scotian1]

Granlund is such a beast, can't wait to see this guy play in the NHL.

He is a special player. He must be totally exhausted considering how many minutes he has played.

 

[Juzmo]

In the NHL? Hell no. WJC, I'm not sure but I think so..

He is 18, yes he can.

 

[QnebO]

**** the ****, **** the ****.

Its over...

 

[4thliner*]

We are losers

 

[vsk92]

I assume at least one Granlund can't so as a result will Armia be looked upon to be one of the primary guns?

armia, markus granlund, barkov and salomaki will be our returning forwards next year for certain

 

[Eidyia]

Finland was clearly only the 4th best team in the tournament.

Congrats Canada for the Bronze and keeping the medal streak alive.

I'm also happy for our youngsters. They showed spirit and grit as always but also some magic. Just to show that our hockey isn't dying when Koivu's and Selänne retires.

 

[Suxnet]

I'm actually more happy that they won the bronze rather than losing the gold.

I second this.

 

[romelson]

Who's that rich looking saudi king who handed them their watches?

Thats also my 1st question...my 2nd one is...who is the dude with the basker turned backwards, looking like some latino gangster, that handed them their medals?

 

[Keke]

I hope Raipe will continue as our coach so we will se Ra(i)pe next year

 

[Canucks LB]

I blame chelsea dagger for not winning gold.

 

[SoupyFIN]

He is a special player. He must be totally exhausted considering how many minutes he has played.

+ How many minutes he played on the PK when he refused to change even though he had a clear chance to do it.

 

[Muuri]

Certainly, as he was one of them already this year. Armia, Ma. Granlund and Salomäki should be our primary offensive assets.

Sasha. He will work on skating in the summer and gain more strength. Plus Rautakorpi will be Tappara's coach next year and is fairly good at developing players.

 

[ashs]

great tournament, yea we didn't win gold (Canada) but we played well (we don't need to win every year) and the kids had some fun. good luck Sweden.

 

[Koss]

You know what - this bronze medal actually feels pretty good. I know it's now what we Canadian fans wanted but our Junior team represented us well. Good tournament Canada.
