Was chosen as the best player for Finland in both of the USA games. Though I guess in this final one could make an argument for Lundell. Looked like Ahokas finally reacted to the problem with line changes and prohibited players self-extending their shift length, which obviously came at a much needed time. Anyway as for the game and Kakko, scoring the golden goal is something so precious that he'll remember for the rest of his days. Couldn't feel much more happier for him. Well earned! Good f**n going young Lions!
A lot of discussion about Kakko's position and about that, the last game he played for TPS @ FEL, he was a center and scored two goals. So it's definitely interesting seeing if they'll continue with that experiment or if he returns to the wing. I do see him as a future C though with all the qualities he has as a player. Without Lundell I think that would've been his position in the WJC as well. Then again of course I'm happy that it didn't come down for that but instead we had center like him to play with Kakko. Not to mention the way Lundell presented himself in this tournament you'd never guess this "cage head" was D-1.
But damn, yet another gold medal at the WJC. What the heck is wrong with this country?!
