Post-Game Talk: 2019 IIHF World Junior Championship: Bruins Prospects Edition

Regardless of who wins, it never gets old watching how much this tourney means to the kids.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Finland wanted it more. Got to those loose pucks and just collapsed on their netminder all night. US looked a bit deadlegged for a good portion of the game. Can’t just wake up when you want to.

There’s nothing wrong with him being emotional.

Well it looks like he is a baby..Want to get emotional get out of sight of cameras.It was a hard fought game so nothing to cry about.Anyways not trying go on about that just my opinion.Your allowed yours as well.Great game

 

[Alicat]

Proud of Vaak, Keyser and Schen.

Dev camp will be a chirp fest between them.

 

[Saxon Eric]

If Urho jumps on the Red Eye he can make the 3pm game in Providence....

 

[BB88]

Great game Congrats

Thank you, I love these tourneys.

He was completely different player versus last year, an absolute beast at the end.

Doubt it happens but this is hockey so anything is possible

Keyser got sick?

What about Tuukka. He's got some big time bragging rights to all of the USA players on the bruins. I wonder if any bets were made?

Maybe you'll see all the US born Bruins wearing The Finish jerseys for a day or so.

 

[Chief Nine]

Keyser got sick?

That’s what I heard

 

[missingchicklet]

And got tourney MVP. I would have definitely given it to Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen.

Oh I’m sure Tuukka’s going to have some fun with this especially with McAvoy

 

[Alicat]

That’s what I heard

Hope it’s nothing too serious

 

[Chief Nine]

Hope it’s nothing too serious

I thought I heard it was a bug or flu

 

[Alicat]

I thought I heard it was a bug or flu

Yuck

 

[Chief Nine]

Yuck

I think he was OK but Primeau was going good so they left him in

 

[Fenway]

I have seen many hardened pro players cry after a bad loss including Bruins players.

 

[Alicat]

I think he was OK but Primeau was going good so they left him in

Rightfully so. There was no reason to change up the goalies

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Congrats to Vaak, hope he builds on this and continues his solid play. Like to see him speed things up every once in awhile, otherwise he is so smooth and smart with the puck. Shen was the next best B's prospect, he came out of left field so to speak. He will compete in a few years for Providence then maybe a bottom center spot with the Bruins, maybe. Stud never got a fair shake, too many in the mix, shame. The other 3 did fine in limited roles.

I think Vaakanainen wants first celebrate with his Finnish U20 teammates in Helsinki.
I'm sure Finnish hockey association will organize some championship parties for our golden lions when they come back to Helsinki.

101% certain the kids playing in NA will not be flying to finland just for "TORI!". there will probably be a get-together during summer vacation instead (just for the team)

 

[Coach Parker]

Happy for Vaakanainen
Happy for team USA for another Medal
If I was picking first I'd be tempted to pick the Finn

He was great out there and controlled the system plays from the back end. Many of the faceoffs the players would all come to Vaakanainen to get direction. Nothing flashy about his game but a steady and very systematic play. He was thinking rebound off the boards for bank passes often and never seemed tired out there.

Yeah OK.
PS Finnish hockey association has announced no championship parties for U20 world champions.
