2025 IIHF World Junior Championship (12/26-1/5)

[jani]

Proud of our boys, they came in with a swing. I like how they try to drive to the net in almost every situation.

Leonard can't stay on his skates.

Nice material for the NHL refs and his to-be teammates. Embarrassing stuff.

 

[UncleRisto]

Well, they f***ed it up.

The US kids finally woke up and started playing.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Aaaaand we’re off to overtime in the Gold medal game.

Man I love Finnish names. Pieniemi just rolls right off the tongue.

Totally unrelated: I just started Finnish on Duolingo and the names they’re using are ones I’ve never heard before. The one that really stands out is Pyry, which I believe is pronounced is “Poo-Roo” but the way they say it sounds more like “Prrrr.”

U.S.A wins!!!!

 

[JWK]

What I learned from this year's World Junior's is that BC should win the National Championship

 

[UncleRisto]

The US was so much more skilled. Close.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

Congrats USA.

Great tournament from Finland.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

That was a nasty pass by Buium for that breakaway to end the game

 

[sethro109]

That Finnish goalie should be the MVP of the tournament. He was fantastic.

That US OT goal was a DU kid. Rycroft won't shut up about that next game.

 

[BobRossColton]

Draft rimpinen next year

And that was hell of a pass by buium

 

[LOFIN]

Pretty nice tournament for us Finns when there was absolutely zero talk about getting to the gold medal game.

 

[UncleRisto]

Draft rimpinen next year

Might as well, but the guy has to way overplay to cover.

Nah.

Never get fooled by a hot goalie over the course of a 2 week tournament. Lots of examples of these guys not turning out.

Also, 5’11” not ideal for the modern NHL goaltender.

Like Annunen?

 

[BobRossColton]

Like Annunen?

And Nabokov

 

[S E P H]

3v3 in the gold medal game is so damn atrocious.

 

[RECKLESS]

Just watched the highlights of the game and the ending after the US gwg was awesomely clipped.

Ismo Lehkonen says "Voi perse!" (="Oh ass!"). The end.

Congrats US. Great tournament by the Finns, almost got it. Voi perse!

Rimpinen is playing very well in Liiga. It's not a hot streak.

I'd be happy if we drafted him, but wouldn't use a high pick to do that. 4th round onwards, sure. If we have any picks left

David Carle really making a name for himself in the hockey coaching world.
