HF Habs: 2025 World Junior Championship: Gold - USA | Silver - Finland | Bronze - Czech Rep.

[MarkovsKnee]

That's kind of impressive because Habs apparently only landed in Montreal at 5 PM today.

It's only a 90 minute drive to Ottawa, but still, that's a long travel day.

 

[Rapala]

You can hear the ref yell, "watch your hand" (for potential holding).

Leonard should be called for Bad Comedy.

 

[Rapala]

Finland going into the early shell is probably going to bite them in the ass.
It's really hard to pull it back after you take that route.
There is absolutely no way they can survive a third period like they gave up to the Swedes to this US team.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

3-3 after 2.

Americans really came on in the final half of 2nd. You could feel their desperation.

Great goal by Cole Hutson. He also assisted on Svoboda's goal.

Thanks to the officials. If they hadn't ignored all US penalties it likely would be 4 or 5 to 1 Finland.
That and Finland has no finish.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Well, here we go! 3rd period.

 

[Whitesnake]

You have to expect that the 1st round in 2023 will produce a lot of NHL'ers..and tons of them playing a crucial role with their team. Right now, it looks so loaded.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Leonard gets in alone. Rimpinen huge save.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Leonard misses a wide open net.

 

[Whitesnake]

Needless to say Hutson will be MVP. What a stud.

Cole Hutson is a really good player. Kind of wish we got a chance in the 2nd to grab him last year.

Habs would have too many small d then.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Americans are taking it to Fins right now. They've gotten close to taking a lead. Fins need to start pushing back

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Finns can't handle the puck . They fan on most passes and shots.

 

[Whitesnake]

We couldn't. Somebody thought that Dvorak's worth was a 1st and 2nd...hahahahah. A 2nd that we could have used on Hutson if we had it.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

They did NOT want Hutson. tThey already have one small PP defenseman

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Fins come close. Damn.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Guaranteed if this is close in the last 2 minutes US gets a PP.

he might've taken another flight to go to Ottawa directly

Hutson could end up 5'11''. And that would mean 2 smaller guys. Add 4 huge ones and who cares really....especially when your smaller D's are insanely talented.

 

[Team_Spirit]

I laugh at the shitty RDs picked before Cole Hutson.

Drafting for need has to stop ️

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Jokinen has been really strong defensively against US's top line.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Icing by Finland. 1.7 seconds left.

I assume OT.

 

[the valiant effort]

If OT was 4on4 or 5on5 I would bet on the US winning before the Finns even get a shot. Win the draw, Finnyboys

 

[MarkovsKnee]

OT. 3-3 at end of regulation.

No shoot-out. They play til someone scores, so there's an actual intermission.

3 on 3 still.

 

[Skip Bayless]

We drafted the wrong Hutson.
