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.
I hope Raipe will continue as our coach so we will se Ra(i)pe next year
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.
Nice for Visentin after last year.
Congrats to Finland and Canada. 4th and 3rd. Nothing to be ashamed about.
Good luck to Russia and Sweden and their fan bases for the Gold.
Also, please Canadian fans, as a Canadian, i say no more "Hockey is Our Game" signs. It's a world game and theirs some pretty damn good hockey players and teams from other countries.
Good game Canada, I'm proud.
I just wish we weren't matched up with Finland, I like them and wanted to see them atleast medal.
well Granlund cant play next year so i doubt it.
I've seen Finland win enough bronze medals to know that there's a big difference between finishing 3rd or 4th. Bronze is a nice medal to win, even if the fans bash it often. Seeing the players happy after the game makes me happy. This time losing wasn't so bad because Canada was obviously the superior team. Good to see the home crowd leaving happy too.
Don't jinx it. (*referring to Ullberg's backgroud of stealing stuff from the lockers)Maybe Ullberg can even steal some games for us!
Yeah, but Mikael was clearly our best -92 in the tournament. The rest were just.....meh, athough Ruuttu had his moments.
Salomäki, Armia, MaG, Barkov, Aaltonen & Hännikäinen will be even better next year. Ristolainen, Pokka and Määttä will return. Teräväinen is looking pretty inpressive. Ullberg is already a starting goalie at SaiPa etc.
If we get a good coach next year, we could play in the medal rounds again.
Please...hockey is still a Canadian game and the best players still come from Canada. The results would have been grossly different if Canada had Hall, Seguin, Skinner and RNH available...
