GDT: Canada v Finland (Gold Medal Game)

[AmericanDream]

Damn that was a beautiful GWG!!

I can't stand 3 on 3 to determine a medal but that was pretty shit...

 

[jj cale]

I sure can.lol

hahaha you showed em...............you're our mvp this year man.

 

[IceHockeyDude]

Congrats Canada. A really tie game but f*** these refs.

 

[Svedu]

The refs dropped a ball in OT. 3 clear penalties in OT, no balls to actually call it like a hockey game.

GG to both teams, good game. No GG for the refs at any point, so many bad and missed calls at all times

Agreed! Two clearest penalties in the whole game came in overtime against Canada but they... "Missed" it, my a*s! Horrible.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Ottawa Senators making Canada proud

 

[Jussi]

Finland played well, head up boys!

Yeah, it's a miracle this team even got to the final with virtually no goalscoring talent. The media will probably be asking why for example Aleksi Saarela and Lauri Pajuniemi were not even considered.

 

[GigaChad]

Shots 31-26 to Finland
2 PP goals for Canada

 

[king89]

Finland robbed, refs bottled it in OT.

 

[Satan]

O Canada

 

[MoeTheHobo]

SENATORS.

CANADA'S TEAM.

Nice guys Senators play like shit during the NHL season so they can help Canada in worlds

 

[Halberdier]

Holy shit Canada's Z team just won

Yup. Canada's H team won Finland's C team.

 

[Transplanted Caper]

Canadian hockey, irreparably damaged and the gold standard, all in the same tournament. A Part of our Heritage.

 

[habsrule4eva3089]

Now we must win the World Juniors.

And then Olympics.

We will have control of all 4 IIHF men's Championships. The ultimate dream.

Hockey is Canada's game!!!!!!!!! LOL

 

[DeysArena]

The officiating was bad, but I don't think it favoured one team or the other.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Canada deserved it this year, enjoy the Gold!

 

[Finnswiss]

Great OT goal! And a deserved win. The refs missed at least 3 blatant calls against Finland in the first 60 minutes, so I think it evens out. It wasn’t the refs fault, that Finland lost.

I think nobody blames the referees for Finlands loss.

 

[HuGo Sham]

don't poke the caribou.
there was a hold off the face-off creating the 2 on 1 though lol

 

[NyQuil]

Hopefully it's just a short stint at the WCs as opposed to Ryan Smyth playing for like a decade.

 

[Lauro]

Yeahhh. First title since 2016, about time. Who would have thought after their start to the tournament (and me only knowing 2 or 3 players).

 

[Jussi]

Canadas Z team won Finlands A lol

Play this game 100 times and Canada wins 100

Not even close. You don't know anything about hockey if you think this team is our A team.

 

[CashMash]

There is this thing called offside in ice hockey.

NHL did change their offside rule prior to the current season, but on IIHF championships IIHF rules apply.

Congrats for Canada. Nice goals and you were not the reason that stupid refs did not give 1-2 penalties on 3-on-3.

There is this thing called the "spirit of the rule". I don't feel the coach's challenge was meant to be about inches because that doesn't ultimately change the play, really. More like the Duchene ones where they clearly miss it.

Canadas Z team won Finlands A lol

Play this game 100 times and Canada wins 100

This was Finland's Ö team, they even asked me to join but I was working

 

[jonlin]

better team won

what a gutsy performance by a collection of 2nd, 3rd and 4th line NHLers

We had 1 4th liner and a No5-6 D. Still it was tight

 

[jj cale]

Somehow Canada just gets it done more often then not.

 

[snipes]

Haven’t said it yet, but congrats to Suomi on the Silver.

Competitive game that could have went either way, once again you guys show what a hockey power and force your country is in this sport that you love as much as Canadians do.

Pleasure as always, things are intense when the games on but it’s always to show respect to a worthy opponent.
