Pennanen being the U20 head coach next year as well was a positive surprise to me. Maybe Aatu Räty gets to play then lol...

Finland proved me wrong. I thought they would be down after their narrow loss to the US. Got off to a slow start but had a lot of energy in the third.
You saw how happy they were at the end of the game. They really wanted that medal.

Congrats to the eternally underestimated Finns! Well-deserved bronze.
Braginless Russians lack grit. Hopefully Larionov is a quick learner, and he’ll do better next year.

It's always good to end tournament for a medal.
And after all that talk,whine and cry of player selections around internet
this bronze was good result and actually it was maximum achievement for this Team Finland.
Congrats for Bronze boys and see you next year.
HYVÄ SUOMI.

Congrats to Finland! Well deserved win.
A Swedish expert commentator on SVT has the following All Star team:
Levi
Byram - Heinola
Lundell - Cozens - Zegras
Hard to argue with that.

Congrats to the Finns. Lots of fight in that group.
Didn't have time today to watch Bronze but had a good feeling about the Finns based on how they played last night. Glad to see them prove me right (not a humble brag, just genuinely happy for them). Really respected the game they played against the Americans and am glad to see them secure a medal out of this tourney.

Superior Finnish coaching and team work in all of the do or die games. I so would have like to see what could have been against Canada in the final.
The team should be proud.

Bronze medal party running wild, better version of our goal song:
Villi Kortti, did it better than Owl Valley Media.
Good booze, parodic songs, best bronze medal party since 2006
Man, it feels good. Global pandemic, no hockey, no sports what so ever and first tournament and Finland takes medal home immediately. Great day to be finnish.

You realize we both are, right? That's kind of what forums are for, lol. We just don't agree with each other.
This is so predictable, Canada has the benefit of forward momentum, they have no ability to weather being behind.
It was called when they dominated Germany, the team is a victim of its own success.

I'm so sad I won't get to hear Canada's anthem tonight, with that guy with the nasal voice.
Congrats to the Finns on the strong tournament!
Always have a soft spot for the Finns, that's where my Grandparents were from.

As a supporter of Team Russia, congratulations to Team Finland for the win, you deserved Bronze! The Russian team this year was very bad, they were running around without a goal, the speeds, the execution and hockey IQ were poor. See you all next year for the WJC.
After several days spent on a working trip, plus a late night five hour winter drive, I was way too tired to stay up for this or the final game. Also, the semifinal against USA already felt like a final so less incentive to watch the remaining games. Sounds like it was a good game though, maybe I'll watch it on tape (actually on cloud, as it's Dplay) at some point.
