The Return of a Legend
Jusso player fine. The only ones bashing him are Nucks fans sensitive that’s he’s better than Juolevi, who I admit player very well.
Jusso is a stud.

Well yeah, it's a fun tournament to play in but if you let yourself peak with the World Juniors you're probably not much of a player anyway.It's a meaningless tournament? It's a meaningless tournament that every kid dreams of playing in growing up. It's not like the Olympics where you can wait every 4 years to try and make the team. It's a tournament that most Canadian kids get only 1 opportunity to play in. 2 if you're super lucky.
So much wrong calling it a meaningless tournament
Oh look, it's Harv ragging on Lias Andersson again.
Personally, I don't think he needs anyone saying whether it was good or bad. I feel bad for the guy because it's likely something he regretted doing if not immediately, then very shortly thereafter. And if he never does regret doing it, then there's really nothing to admonish him for. It's not something that affects anyone else in a negative way.
First off, there was alot wrong with what he did. It's not like that was a feather he tossed into a crowd, what if it had hit a child? I can accept the frustration and had he tossed it on the ice or put it in his pocket, I wouldn't care. It would still be poor sportsmanship and was akin to tossing a board game all over when you lose. But I certainly wouldn't claim it shows character, I'm also not going to claim it shows poor character other than it being obvious he is a sore loser.Nothing wrong with what he did. You play to win and at the end of the day I think it shows character on his part. 2nd place is unacceptable for him. And if we're being honest, this is a meaningless tournament anyway. Not like it's the Olympics
You know you don't have to throw a piece of metal hard to hurt a child right? You thorow it underhand softly, it still gains velocity on it's way down. It was a stupid thing to do and it's pathetic that people are making excuses for him. It's not like he just refused to shake hands or something.It's not like he took it off and whipped it into the crowd. It's quite reasonable to assume that while the camera angle didn't show him make eye contact with the fan that got it, he probably did anyway. It was a pretty soft underhand throw.
People would be calling him a sore loser anyway even if he took it off and tossed it in the locker room garbage can.
That was one of the most poorly officiated finals I've ever watched. I don't blame him one bit for doing what he did

No it's just disrespectful to the tournament organizers, the IIHF and IMO everyone who has ever competed in the WJCFrom an attitude standpoint, this is better. Refusing to shake hands is openly disrespectful to the opponent. Throwing away your medal is not.

I don’t think he will. He seems very much set that it his character and beliefs to be that way. I will raise my children to be competitive for sure and always strive to win, but personally I feel like what he did was to extreme and toxic for his teammates.
I think this is a mountain out of a molehill. It's a stupid medal- the officiating was extremely suspect. I think it was moderately sore-loser ish of him, but if he had handed the fan the medal a little bit off camera no one would be talking about this at all. I also don't see how it is disrespectful to players who formerly played in the tournament? I'm positive that by and large they couldn't care at all about this. I think some of you need to dislodge the stick you have residing in your nether regions and join the modern world.
