PGT: WJC Gold Medal Game | Finland Win Gold Over USA 3-2

[Outofbodyinhungary]

Ray Ferraro stop beating around the bush, admit that Finland is producing top level players and a lot of them for several years now.

Congrats to Finland, but am I the only one here who cheers USA, when Canada is out?

Yes.

I’ll cheer for our old historic rival the Russians before the Americans without hesitation.

Im studying my options in finland. How is Helsinki? Looks like a funny small town with actual houses. Do you get stable electricitu there? How about internet and hot water?

Btw, big congratulations Finland! Better team took the gold! USA choked on the PP badly. Good come back in the third but not good enough.

Nah, we don't have those.

But remember to leave your guns to your kids at home, you can't bring those here.

And to say the Finn coach was one goal away from losing his job ...

 

[LeftBackLegend]

Whatever the stripes of your flag, we should all just tip our hat to these young athletes for providing us with weeks of entertainment and making the sport proud.

I applaud them all.

He never will as he is a shill.

Kakko looking like the warrior he is with all the blood on his cap, lol!

He is!

 

[Saekk]

Well he said we sucked so he can kick rocks lol. He must be steaming and I’m loving it. Kakko even got the game winner lol. He probably can’t handle it lmao

I know, that's why i'm lowkey enjoying this.

USA should be happy with 2nd. Overachieved

Great game. Congrats Finland

Canada no longer gods in the hockey world. Other nations are here to play.

If you think Canada would give a **** about "winning" anything other than gold you're delusional. We'll continue our best on best dominance. Stay salty.

If your best junior players routinely lose to the best junior players of other nations, how do you expect that to translate into the future when the current wave of top Canadian players retire? USA and Finland are both on their way to being better hockey countries. That's just a fact.

No cell phones or anything and hot water only in saunas.

keller and mittelstadt were soooo much better tho. poehling has been invisible for most of the tournament. if u have to give it to an american forward at least give it to chmeleski. he at least put up stats in the knock out rounds.

He was far from invisible and had the most scoring chances tonight while not connecting he was still busting his ass and at the right place at the right time most of the game. His only lackluster game was the semi final apr from that he was excellent

 

[snipes]

I guess we can take some solace in the fact that we gave Suomi their toughest game in the playoff rounds.

 

[SI90]

USA has the best national anthem AINEC

Finland beat Canada.

They are the better team for sure.

Lol

Lolwut

 

[Thebesthockey]

Kupari should have gone 3rd overall

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

If you told me Finland was going to beat Canada and USA to win Gold with Tolvanen scoring 0 goals in the entire tournament, I’d have said you were crazy.

 

[Legend123]

Finland wins without Kotkaniemi, Heskanein, and Vesailainen. Really impressive stuff

 

[Machinehead]

Finland deserved to win. Great tournament for them. I’m proud of the USA boys. That disallowed goal will leave a bad taste in my mouth. Changes the dynamic of the whole game.
It’s not like team USA dominated play though so maybe Finland ends up winning anyway. Good game.

Oh god, here we go. Headed back to Nam.

 

[LOFIN]

I think it went exactly as the script was set to be. Finland will win in OT or with a clutch goal by a player that hasn't really showed up yet during the tournament. (2014 Ristolainen, 2016 Kapanen). Now Kakko wasn't bad in this tournament, but not really a difference maker either before now. In that sense it fits.

Still funny to think that few days ago we were 1 minute from dropping out in the semis and ready to crucify our coach and our top players, some turnaround.

Not really. They were phenomenal. Could’ve easily beat us tonight.

Congrats Suomi from Canada
