GDT: [Official]: WJC Thread

Hannu Kapanen (father of Sami Kapanen) coached Finland to WJC gold in 1998. His grandson scored the OT goal this time.

Puljujarvi named the top forward, MVP of the tournament. All kinds of impressive as a 17 year old.

Honestly, finishing with a bottom two pick for a player like that would be worth it.

Laine or Puljujärvi would be great. Laine is more of a pure goalscorer, Pulju has a bit more allaround game. Can't say who's better.

Both would be great. Want Puljujärvi more because of his all around play though. Players like that can franchise cornerstones.

I thought this was supposed to be a weak draft year, though.

Laine scoring onetimers from Gaudreau...

Puljujärvi setting up Monahan or Bennett.

The possibilities are endless.

Actually the only question is whether Oilers draft Matthews or Laine/Pulju first overall. Other teams can settle whats left

 

[Kahvi]

Too lazy to check stats, but I think Finland won 6/6 games where opponent scored first, and never lost one.

Haha, honestly didn't notice him

Just an excellent feeling here! Second WJC-championship in three years.

And yup, it'd be great to have Laine with Gaudreau.

I'm happy for our number of Finnish fans on the board. Congrats guys.

I am going to be so sad when one of the Finns gets taken by mulletville
