You didn't make your predictions, Bounce.

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Head says Canada 6-1, Sweden 3-1.

Heart hopes I'm twice wrong.

 

[teravaineSAROS]

Finland vs Canada for gold?

 

[1OApick]

Finland-Canada 8-2
Sweden-Czech Republic 2-1

 

[Esko6]

I always feels like Finland can beat everyone on a good day but this time the chance feels very slim. Let's got 6-3 again.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

4-1 Canada

4-1 Czech

 

[Lartsaman]

We took home WJC silver 21 years ago last time. I guess now its time to repeat that triumph. I wont guess any scores but this time we´re not gonna win the final.

For this years team its been a great tourney already and from now on everything is bonus!

Somehow this sounds familiar and is about right

 

[Marioesque]

This is becoming the norm In international tournaments. Canada and Finland in the final.

Whodathunk, eh?

 

[Gold Standard]

For pure entertainment value I would have preferred a Canada v USA GMG, but a Canada v Finland matchup will do just fine. If Finland does take it, I'm hoping for more dancing videos from the Finnish PM. She rocks.

 

[Zub]

Beating this Canada team will be very hard, but i have faith!

 

[Svedu]

4-1 Canada

4-1 Czech

8-2 Canada.
Czechia 4-3.

 

[Jukurit]

Finland has 2 gold medals this year and Canada has 1, so I think it's fair that Canada wins this one.

 

[illone84]

5-2 Canada. 3-1 Czechia

 

[SantosHalper]

Suomi 2 - Kanada 0

Czechia - Sweden, Czechia has a long drought but Sweden have more Red Wings prospects in the roster. But im gonna say Czechia wins because they have more time to prepare themselves.

 

[JackSlater]

The teams seem reasonably even, particularly with Greig out, and it may come down to who gets more powerplays. I'll guess 3-2 Canada just to get something down.

 

[jonlin]

Can 5 - Fin 2
Czechs 3 - Swe 2

I'm hoping for more dancing videos from the Finnish PM. She rocks.

I actually feel ashamed when watching them...

 

[JimmyApples]

I’ll say 7-0 Canada

 

[Rengorlex]

Guessing Finland will further assert their dominance of International hockey. 5-2 Lions.

 

[ijuka]

By some miracle Finland is in finals - probably thanks to Czechia.

I'd say that Finland has around a 10% chance of winning but hey, you never know what could happen in a single match.

 

[Petskuta]

In the past 9 years, Finland has beaten Sweden, Russia and USA in the gold medal game. First time facing Canada, let's get it!

 

[Jukurit]

Crazy that this Finnish team is playing in a gold medal game. Their play just hasn't been all that good. But I suppose that tells you about the quality of this tournament. No Russia, Sweden has Monten, USA lost to Czechia. So I'd say that Canada is the only "good" team in this tournament.

 

[goonybird]

Can't we just fast forward to the 2023 tournament yet?

 

[karhukissa]

I’ll say 7-0 Canada

Just in case Finland gets some cheap penalties and end up scoring, you might want to check the facts this time.

Finland has higher GDP per capita than Canada, so you might want to re-consider that "Canada has much better situation economically than Finland". Also i don't think Sweden and Finland has begged to join Nato, they applied. And maybe in your books we have surpassed Germany as a hockey nation after this tournament.
