Pre-Game Talk: World Juniors Summer 2022

[Sens of Anarchy]

Apparently, according to Garrioch, Leevi is returning home to play next season instead of in the OHL. This does not look good for the future. Does anyone know why he is leaving the OHL?

Has a better opportunity to start in Liiga this year

He wants to be a starter in Finland . Nothing to worry about imo it’s a more competitive league than the OHL. Obviously it’s better to adjust to NA ice but as a goalie shouldn’t be too bad for his development.

Think it’s going to be another great development season for him this year. Our future #1 in 2-4 years

I'm all for 18-19 year olds staying close to home a year or two just for emotional growth and maturity closer to family.

Did they interview RG before the game, like they said they were going to?

 

[DJB]

Anyone with a a type of brain can see that Bedard in the bumper isn’t working. You can see that our only threat is Johnson on the half wall. Moving Bedard to the other half wall gives us shooters on both sides and FIN can’t cheat to the one side

5 straight piss poor PP.

Cameron sucks

I started watching around 7:30 and didn't see any interview with Greig.

This game is awesome, Finnish goalie is insane

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Dave Cameron getting flashbacks lol

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

They're really missing Greig here. They have no hustle this period at all. Trying to be too pretty and make perfect plays instead of winning the game.

 

[mianjo]

OT

 

[Senovision]

Bedard is my prediction for the winning goal.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

3 on 3 ot is a terrible way to settle a gold medal game

 

[Senovision]

Canada wins gold!

Mactavish with a game saving play. He bats the puck out of mid air and saves the gold medal. That was insane!

 

[Senscore]

never in doubt

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

What a save by MacTavish...and sweet hands by Johnson.

Still hate the 3 on 3 though. But Finns got away with a blatant trip behind our net, as well in OT. So no controvercies or complains from either side on this one (unlike the Russia vs tv camera one before).

 

[Sensators]

WOOWWWWWWWWWWWWW Mactavish!

 

[Alfie11]

Garand almost Fleury'd it dropping the puck in OT.

 

[Senscore]

insane

 

[StoicSensFan]

Yeesh, Greig can't lift his left arm. Bobby Mac chimed in and said he had a separated shoulder.

 

[GoSenatorsGo]

That McTavish save is up there with the Eberle goal imo, just jaw dropping.

 

[GoMyTeam]

Ostapchuk used both arms to lift the trophy so hopefully he's okay.

Greig only did a one arm lift though..
