I think its a matter of how many goals can canada wins, but lets hope i am right

 

[gritdash60]

If Finland wins it's great and the better team won, if team Canada wins it's because they had more rest, or the "corrupt IIHF referees" as you guys like to say it, or got lucky because we didn't have our best goalie in the team.

4-0 Finland win.

Very fitting final. Canada is better IMO but Finn's and the Sisu and 1 game could win this

55-45 Canada.

Good luck to both

When these U20 WJC's started i didn't see us gold medal game team.
But i believed on that we can win bronze i had Canada and USA as a gold favorites
so i'm positively surprised to see U20 lions in gold medal game first time since 2019.

Who ever wins today that team has totally earned gold medal.
This Finnish team is already full of winners so hopefully our boys can enjoy the game without any pressures.

Hopefully this gold medal game will be as even and exciting as IIHF worlds gold medal game was.
Good luck for both teams.
Lets play hockey.

I'm pretty sure Canada is gonna win gold. They just play with too much tempo. I think there's a small chance Finland wins if they perfectly execute their game plan, Jatkola plays amazing in net and Canada has bad luck finishing. I'd say Finland's chance of winning is about 10%.

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Hard to imagine Canada not taking gold here, but without upsets sports would be pointless.

original gangster?

 

[Kurtz]

Finland really tends to step it up when the chips are down. This feels like a 2-1 game that can go either way.

 

[snipes]

Getting my Canadian version of this on. Let’s go!!



Hopefully they come out flying with some in your ****ing face suffocating north-south pressure all over the ice. Run them out of the building wave after wave.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

3-2 Canada in OT!

 

[THE JAM]

GOOD LUCK, NORTHERN ESTONIA / WINLAND !!​

 

[Erikfromfin]

We will crush them red devils! Victory is ours!

 

[Dust]

I had to look up the Marin thing people are referencing. Absolutely silly that people are up in arms because their PM had fun, the audacity! Finland deserves to lose if that's what upsets them 6-1 Canada.

Hard to imagine Canada not taking gold here, but without upsets sports would be pointless.

single game elimination it's not hard to imagine for me, if it was a best of 7 playoff series then I'd agree with you.

Did I see Othmann on the 4th line?

Let’s ooooooooogggg!!!

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

I expect Canada to start like they've been launched from a cannon.

 

[Orr Fourever]

Connor Bedard shines...

 

[NyQuil]

Seeing a stache at the World Juniors is always a bit hilarious.

 

[Dust]

Bedard on the 3rd line eh... interesting.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]
