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

[End on a Hinote]

Don't forget, if we didn't have the worst coach in the world, as some of our fans said here, we would have won this gold before the final already.

Dont beat yourself up, you had the second worst in this tournament

 

[Legend123]

Kupari should have gone 3rd overall

3rd and 4th overall are doing great at the NHL level. Troll somewhere else

 

[Canadian Finn]

USA has the best national anthem AINEC

sure, if that is what makes ya feel better

 

[BenningHurtsMySoul]

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

Haven’t been for a decade now

Won twice since 2009

 

[SI90]

Finland beat Canada.

They are the better team for sure.

I’m talking overall dominance. Canada isn’t dominating like they used to

 

[rynryn]

disallowed goal or not, Finland played well enough to win. Sucks for our guys but it wasn't a cheap victory.

 

[Chainshot]

Congratulations Finland!

 

[crowi]

All that said, this game was as close as it can get really.

U.S definitely have the program to grow their players. I'm truly jealous Finland has no funding to do the same.

Maybe Selänne should sell off a few of his cars and donate that money? /sarcasm

JA POIKA SAUNOO

Soviet union?

 

[Artorius Horus T]

It’s not though.

Oh, but it was and is.

 

[mattcookefan]

Who the **** cares about the silver...

Frankly who cares about gold in this tourney? A year from now most of these kids will be be playing far more important hockey and will have forgotten about this game.

 

[SI90]

sure, if that is what makes ya feel better

Haha ohhh Canada you can’t even be in this conversation.

 

[Thebesthockey]

Until next year

the 2000/1 should be really really good !!

 

[Steely Van]

Did Kakko do enough to pass Jack Hughes in draft rankings?

 

[Legend123]

Did Kakko do enough pass Jack Hughes in draft rankings?

Yes

 

[lilidk]

I am so disappointed , its over

 

[Genu]

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

Kinda surprised you admitting this with your hilarious feud with AmericanDream

 

[JJTT]

Who were the all stars, mvp?

Hahaha but you tuned in so u care. Good luck next year

 

[Peiskos]

Congrats Finland.

Enjoy your medal Canada....oh wait.

So this comment starts out classy then just devolves into a pathetic one.

In case you haven't noticed Canada has a gold medal in the tournament more recently than the US does. Canada has been to 3 of the past 5 gold medal games taking 2 golds and a silver and easily could have been 3 golds if it weren't for a shootout loss in the 2017 final. We're doing quite fine, can't win every year.

Are you really attempting to brag to Canadians over a silver medal? lol.

 

[TimeZone]

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.

I'm not sure, perhaps due to the fact that half of the current scoring leaders in the NHL are Canadian? The oldest of the bunch being 24 years old. Get a grip dude, player development doesn't end at 19...I'll take a players performance at 23 in the NHL over their performance in a tournament like this where 80% of the players involved will never even become NHL regulars.

Embarrassing reply.

I'm so grateful for our lovely youth giving me these moments to brighten the darkest depressing winter. KIITOS POJAT!!!

 

[Conthedon]

Nah, we don't have those.

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

Quite funny.

Just read that Finland has the most guns and rifles per capita in the world.

Me not being able to bring my assault rifle and tank with me sound pretty insane after reading that.

 

[mattcookefan]

Why aren’t the USA kids crying like babies and cursing out the crowd?

Because most of them are just waiting until they play in the nhl and compete for a real trophy

 

[FinlandPanther]

Kinda surprised you admitting this with your hilarious feud with AmericanDream

USA has a phenomenal team. Doesn’t matter that he thinks we suck but you guys easily could’ve won a gold medal. The difference was a kakko, that’s it.

 

[ecemleafs]

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

0 points in 3 knockout games. scored 4 points in a loss in the round robin so player of the tournament apparently.
