Ristolainen is so ****ing awesome. I'm so jealous of you guys

Totally forgout about Zadorov, who has been really good too!

 

[Dennis Bergkamp]

Yeees! Risto just gave us our first gold medal in over a decade. I think you made a fine choice.

 

[Paxon]

THAT'S MY RISTO

 

[stokes84]

What a great thing for Risto. Kid is a star.

THAT'S MY RISTO

What a great goal from our boy!

 

[KennyFnPowers*]

RISTO!!!!! W000t!

 

[ZeroPT*]

What a ******* beast

What an outstanding goal!

 

[SackTastic]

Beast of a move by Risto. He was a machine in that OT.

Also, suck it Risto complainers.

Corey Pronman ‏@coreypronman 3m

Well that was a best defensemen type of play right there.

 

[Paxon]

Risto named best defenseman, all-star team, but wasn't named one of his team's best 3 players yesterday

Sabres prospects - WJC heroes

Grigorenko scoring, Zadorov kicking butt at both ends, Ristolainen with the Golden Goal...discuss how they will all lift the Sabres into Cup contenders.

I'm half joking, but I hope this helps Grigs, Zadorov, and Risto to bring some swagger to Buffalo in a season or two. Only Grigs seems to need it, but I want them all to infect the rest of the roster with some confidence.

 

[Rhett4]

It only seemed like a matter of time for Risto in that OT. He took the puck to the net like an all-star forward several times...and then puts home the winner. Gorgeous.

 

[26CornerBlitz]

Risto's move reminds me of Pommer's OT shortie winner against the Sens.

 

[French Connection]

A very entertaining game. Kids worked hard.

Meh. I wouldn't get too worked up about it. I honestly wonder if Risto would've given himself Best Defenseman. He missed games with illness and was highly critical of his game on Thursday.

Great to see him get the winner to give his country the gold medal, especially after he took the penalty that led to the tying goal in the 3rd.

 

[Havok89]

Wow good for Risto!

Wrong forward for best of tournament

"Top defenseman? Vittu tätä paskaa. I scores your golden goals!"

Also, damn you Norway for getting relegated.

My heritage explains why I love hockey, but suck at it.

 

[Paxon]

Pretty sure that's why Risto was drafted instead of Forsberg..

Forsberg was drafted the year before, one spot before Grigorenko

 

[start winnin]

Pretty sure that's why Risto was drafted instead of Forsberg..

They were different drafts.

 

[start winnin]

Together with Myers, Girgensons, Zadorov, Ristolainen, Grigs and the savior himself McJesus, they will usher in an age of peace and prosperity in Buffalo winning many cups and becoming the greatest team in NHL history

 

[1972]

Risto was phenomenal all game, he took that game over in OT.

Was McCabe on the all star team last year? Or was he the best D man?
