Amazing achievement by a group of guys no one gave a chance and I doubt even they didn't believe this was possible. Such a likeable team. I haven't been interested in the World Championship in years but this team was embraced by the whole country. The ultimate underdog story.

Unbelievable.

 

[FinnLightning26]

Also one amazing tidbit: the GWG was scored at the same exact second as the one in 2011 in the same arena with the same coach behind the bench. I guess there is fate after all.

Sergachev did very well

 

[Maelmoor]

Thought Cirelli had a good game in the final, also really impressed by Vasy, what a performance! Winning the bronze on his own.

Finland impressed a lot with their work ethic, that was an incredible hard working team!

I guess we like hockey somewhat

I thought for sure the European Parliament election would be the #1 talking point.

 

[Hoek]

Happy for our Finnish friends, at least you guys got something to enjoy this summer.

The Russian calendar must have tricked Kuch into thinking it was November. I don't think he's scored that much in May ever in his career.

Probably not. He scored one point in Russia's three elimination games.

Must have thought he was back at Amalie.

Google translate: Tretyak asked goalkeeper’s sweater for the Russian national team Vasilevsky

“Usually I don’t take sweaters from anyone, but this time I took Vasilevsky from him. Is he a hero today? The goalkeeper is always a hero!” Said Tretyak to journalists.

When Tretiak wants your jersey, you know you've done well.

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Sounds like Cirelli had a great tournament, lots of NHL vets were gushing over him.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if he's too good to play 3C next year and we move Stamkos to wing.

Vasy named top goalie and Kucherov named top forward of the tournament

Vasy also named to the media's all-star team

Nylander was in the allstar team, kucherov not

I wonder if @Fabiobest is like this while watching.

I know... xD I'm too late with the answer
Btw, I liked the girl more than the match, for real xD
But fortunately we won the last one, against Austria, so we'll play at the World Champs next year
