Two best teams at this age group. That gold medal game at the u18s a couple of years ago was a classic and this one should be too. Hopefully we’re on the other side of it this time around

 

[BigRangy]

Gooooo Sweden

 

[General Fanager]

Well the 2 pre-tournament favorites in the finals....

I'm hoping for a good game!!!

 

[Czechboy]

Good luck to both.. deserving final!

I would be happy for both to win tbh.

 

[NyQuil]

After all the drama, it’s probably the two pre-tournament favourites in the final.

How many stars are in NHL for USA ?

How many stars are in NHL for USA ?

As a Canadian, I don’t like to talk about who isn’t at the tournament.

It’s disrespectful to those players who are there.

 

[Janvonpobben]

As a Canadian, I don’t like to talk about who isn’t at the tournament.

Sweden has Leo Carlsson

 

[MTU34]

Sweden has Leo Carlsson

US has Cooley. It’s dead even in terms of who’s missing from these two rosters

 

[TLEH]

USA is only missing Cooley.

 

[Janvonpobben]

USA is only missing Cooley.

i dont get it.

How are US and their superteam not missing more players in the NHL like Canada?

 

[deleted user]

Sweden hopefully gets the victory. Go Sweden!

Canada is missing Benson, Fantilli, Korchinski, Bedard.

Part of me feels like the CHL and their no AHL policy sort of gets some guys in the NHL early and causes them to lose more players.

Obviously Bedard, Fantilli are NHL regardless.

 

[Pieck]

Kinda funny how Nazar took Noren out of the tournament and now he’ll have to face his replacement Lindstein who is a much better player in the finals

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Refs better stay out of this one.

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

Which happens first?
A Sweden wins U20 WJC gold medal
B Hungary and Turkey say YES to Sweden's Nato accession.
Prepare to lose Swedes Team USA is coming hungry on GOLD.

Shane Wright could have helped as well

USA is the clear cut best team in this tourney. This one won't be close.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Refs better stay out of this one.

Refs got some complaints last time in Malmö 2014. USA could easily lose

Russ will be rooting for Sweden

Damn it was great to see Swedes losing 2014.
Would've been so cool to repeat that now in Gothenburg 10 yrs later.

Swedes took that loss so badly at they to take physchological crisis help to get over it.
I truly hope that happens again with USA.

There were advertised as being in another galaxy. After seeing them a few times I would say tame down your expectations

I told you that in a previous thread
