[Statsy]

Daemon Hunt in uniform for the ceremony. Nice!

 

[JackSlater]

How does Hunt get a medal?

 

[behemolari]

In what book Liukas breakaway was not penalty shot. Clown country with clown refs, whole world is laughing for you and your fixed shit

 

[Treb]

Does Jatkola get drafted next year? 6"1 is still passable for the NHL.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Sweden flag mishap! @Kopitar11

Refs as usual find a way to get Canada the gold

 

[LeapOnOver]

And if the better team wins the gold medal, what does the worse team win?

The answer is the same.

In the same way earlier in the game McTavish didn't get a penalty shot. They got it wrong both times.

Jepjep Congrats Canada on win. The worse team won again this time. I dont feel bitter but the blatant feeling for Canada is just embarrasment.... 8 to 1 penalties from utter bullshit biased referee calls.... I just feel embarrased for Canada. Finland was the superior team 5on5 and worlds number 1 I will continue with this agenda forever. You guys should feel shamed

Please STOP and leave that crying for Swedes.
If there was protest chance for that how referees did their job Finland would've done it for sure.

But guess what there's no protest chance for bad referees
and so long when that chance is not in the rulebook these games will end how they end and that's it.

Yes Canada maybe got some help for referees
but it was all pay back for that what happened to Tampere this past may.
It is totally childish and pathetic to blame referees for our lose in overtime
the game is over and Canada who scored 3 goals deserved their win no matter that was it biased reffing or not.

You have all rights to feel disappointed but the referees wasn't in the ice scoring
any goals for Finland and deal with that fact we can't win all possible gold medals every year

When game goes overtime in U20 WJC's the skill advantage rises high value
and that advantage was this time in Canada's side in May in Tampere it was our side
that's hockey and it happens.

The lesson what we got from this is that
if you don't score in your own scoring chance then opposite team will score their chance.
it is so simple.

I don't know about you
but i'm not disappointed at all because i knew that already Canada will win this game
they were so clear number 1 gold favorite as ever was possible.

Same one that was used on the Mctavish breakaway.

The Swedish and American refs?

 

[Kelly]

Oh my f*** what a f***ing game to watch drunk as f***. Mason McTavish national f***ing hero my f***

 

[bsu]

In the same way earlier in the game McTavish didn't get a penalty shot. They got it wrong both times.

He also got tripped before he saved the goal.

You mean, Canada as usual finds a way win the Gold by being the better team.

 

[Brewsky]

Damn the top 5 picks of the 2021 NHL Draft are looking STRONG!

 

[Frank Drebin]

The answer is the same.

That's what I figured. So it really doesn't matter who was "better" during the game.

It matters who wins

 

[snipes]

Epic game! Congrats Canada! Despite the defeat! I m proud of the Leijonat! See you next year!

Gutsy effort by the Finnish players. A proud hockey nation, this game could have went either way in the end.

 

[TonsofPuppies]

Insanity.

 

[Three On Zero]

That loss will sting for the Finns, they deserved better.

 

[WaW]

It's gotta hurt if you're Finland, but Hirvonen and Niemela were being shown mad respect in the handshake line.

 

[Erikfromfin]

Congrats again Canada.. and party hard.... I dont think Finland should participate in this in january since the refereeing is always like this.

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

covid not a fan favorite

Was there any covid19 cases in Edmonton or Alberta province during these U20 WJC's
I just think that if there was what type protocol Hockey Canada would've used.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

Canada really played scared in the 3rd period. They completely abandoned their forechecking game when the Finns pressed. They should have put the game away in the second period on the PP and it nearly cost them.

Not the best game from Team Canada and not even close to the best team they could have iced either. But they got it done.

 

[Zub]

I'm trying to sleep but i can't, the image of McTavisch saving that goal already haunts me.

 

[LeapOnOver]

That's what I figured. So it really doesn't matter who was "better" during the game.

It matters who wins

Don't really care about any of that. Just making sure people realize 1st place gets a gold medal, 2nd gets a silver, 3rd a bronze. Because the person i responded to seems unaware of that.

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

You mean, Canada as usual finds a way win the Gold by being the better team.

I mean, we won with Dave Cameron as coach, so you better believe we had the horses and the bounces to help us out.
Congrats to the locals, it's a nice feather in their cap.
