GDT: 2022 WJC Gold Medal Game FIN vs CAN 6pm MT, 8pm ET 2022-08-20

[Shocker]

…and Women’s Olympic Gold… and Women’s Worlds Gold… and Women’s U-18 Gold (featuring Jarome Iginla’s daughter by the way!)

I know you think women’s hockey doesn’t count, but if you’re throwing junior tournaments into the mix, then we most definitely count women’s tournaments!

Hlinka>Women's Olympics gold and that's not even close.

 

[Nate070]

5-2 Canada. 3-1 Czechia

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

Has anyone ever won the olympics, WC and the WJC the same year? DO IT NOWWWW!

They are different tournaments and mean different things to different people. Finland, fights for Bronze in women’s tournaments, so I’m not surprised they don’t put the same value on it.

If this game goes to OT i hope theres ko ref theatrics. That OT call costs Canada at the WHC. The absolute worst call ive ever seen watching hockey.

Sorry. I forgot that women's hockey existed.

 

[Waterbuf]

4-2 Canada

Clearly if more Finns knew it existed, they might be better at it. Oh, well…

4 point game for Mason Jon Snow McTavish.

Can’t wait for the crying, doesn’t matter who wins and how because both fanbases are gonna keep bitching and crying about it for the next year, just like every time.

 

[hockey20000]

Canada 6 Finland 0 . i want destruction

 

[Nate070]

Canada 6 Finland 0 . i want destruction

I really want Finland to score the first goal. Who am I kidding?! The first 10 goals

 

[MoeTheHobo]

I will only get up at 3am to watch it if Finland wins. I haven't decided yet but it's looking like a Canadian win

The only country that cares about Hlinka is Canada. It's irrelevant to most others. Practice tournament in the middle of summer.

These are literally the two worst fanbases in international hockey haha. I might sit this one out.

We're like Toronto fans but with the results to back it up

 

[Bounces R Way]

You didn't make your predictions, Bounce.

That's true I didn't.

I will go 5-4 Finland (OT) or 3-1 Canada with an empty netter

 

[Statsy]

Wait… we’re allowed to make two different, and completely conflicting predictions? Good to know!

 

[Dave92]

3-2 Finland in OT.

 

[Bruce Granville]

5-1 Canada, GWG Niemela.
or
2-0 Finland, GWG MacTavish….nah, Lekkerimaki.

I expect Finland to give TC a harder time for this one, Im saying 4-3 Finland.

Team Canada has everything Team Finland has multiplied. Add the home ice and we have the real and clear winner in red and white. Only Miracle can save Finland. But, surely, miracles do happen, on and off the ice. Yet they happen only sparingly and rarely; otherwise we called them a commonplace.

If Leijonat happen to win this one, regard and respect it as a true miracle. At the repective level as, say, Patrik Laine beating Connor McDavid in speed skating - with or without a.puck, in straigth line or around a row of pylons. Sometimes there is this one tiny, invisible crack in the ice that changes everything.
