GDT: The 2019 IIHF World Men Championships

[UncleRisto]

Third period, Fin goalie 21 saves, Can goalie 1 save

Lankinen played out of his mind. I can't believe what this bunch of scrubs did.

 

[Murzu]

I don't think I've ever seen a team manage to keep the puck as much in the offensive zone in one period as Canada did in the 3rd period.

 

[Spender]

At the start of the tournament one of Russia, Canada or Sweden would have been a good bet to take the gold. Can't believe that Finish squad managed to beat all three. Very worthy of the gold, and probably the first time I'll ever admit to cheering for Finland.

Kaapo Kakko who turned 18 three months ago is now a world champion at U18, U20 and men's Worlds. Henri Jokiharju at 19 has the same trio of medals.

 

[Balthazar]

That's what you get for having Kyle Turris as captain

Came here for Turris talk as well. According to Friedman they made him captain to "help him" after a disaster of a season. Almost implying that it was to raise his trade value. That's strange.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Maybe the worst team ever to win the WC on paper. They played with a big heart, though.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Congrats to Finland!

 

[Iceberg]

The thing i admire the most about the finns is how humble they are... when they are not running their burner account, that is.

 

[Metallo]

Guys, any unsigned WC players that caught your eye and would be candidates to jump to the NHL next season?

I wonder if Gord is going to revisit this graphic with the stats for Canada...whose players scored a combined 349 NHL goal this season.

How cool is it that the entire Finnish Air Force escorted that plane?

Kaapo Kakko.

Obviously I was referring to draft uneligible players.

 

[Pokecheque]

I think he understood that.

 

[Metallo]

I think he understood that.

I know, but I had to highlight how unfunny it was.
