Yea, that hit the shaft of the dmans stick. Not on the goalie.

 

[nbwingsfan]

This tournament rocks. Best hockey of the year, every year

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

This has been far and away the most evenly matched game of the tournament. Both teams trading blows. The US - Czechia and Sweden - Finland games that went the distance didn't feel nearly as close as this one.

 

[JoVel]

When will IIHF stop this insanity of 3 on 3 in elimination games...

 

[Jussi]

LASSILA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[LaMasquerade]

LASSILA!!!!

 

[hockey20000]

lol it over already

 

[nbwingsfan]

Unreal goal

 

[Pieck]

Well that was lame

 

[Seedtype]

Wow, congrats Finland.

 

[king89]

LASSILAAA

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Lmao

 

[HabSgt]

Great ending wow

Finland dead? Their team disagrees in the most strenuous way possible.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

What a goal. Another error by Strbak, at fault for all 3 goals. What a brutal game from him.

 

[Zybalto]

Insane move and finish.

 

[vlady]

well, congrats Finland. Nothing more to do. It's a shame this generation won't get a junior medal.

 

[LaMasquerade]

So this tournament wasn't a disaster after all.. (I was amongst that crowd myself after 2 first games )

 

[king89]

What a goal Lassila been great in this tourney

 

[Pieck]

Sad for Slovakia who loses in overtime in back to back quarterfinals, and they may not get a chance this good for a while

 

[Chainshot]

Strbak might want that lunge back.

 

[Bast]

3 on 3 is so laughably bad. When is this gimmick going to end? A great game ruined by a skills competition

 

[stastny12]

Heartbreaking as always, but hey, I´m used to it.

 

[Jukurit]

Jere McLassila coast-to-coast!

 

[novisor]

Brutal for Slovakia, just let the guy skate through the team. Ten guys in their third tourney, that's unheard of... huge missed chance for them. Mesar now aged out.

Hey, we got a quick ending to the game, so it worked.
