USA is a juggernaut. I would bet on them too.

Favorite for sure. But when you get four to one odds for Finns win it sort of makes me want put money on it. Only thing I really don't want to play for Finns win because I'm afraid it jinxes it.
Superstitious and illogical - I know.
 
Omg this game is hard to watch. Passes don't get thru, no second effort. Brutal.
 
Good game by Sweden but they couldn't convert their chances somehow. Congrats to Team Russia for bronze, too bad Russia didn't get to the final. Here's hoping that the Russian U-18 will get there more often in the future and Gold would be nice at some point :).
In short, good game by both teams, peace.
 
Some weird coaching this game by Bendelin. Ginning probably played the same amound of minutes as Liljegren and Brännström when down a goal, he benches Boqvist after the 1st period in favor of Själlin. It's like he doesn't want his team to score.

Russia fully deserved the bronze.
 
What's wrong with Swedes drive to win? You guys bring strong teams that can be dominant but then something snaps and your team is like - we're losing but that's OK, no need to try harder, can't win them all.

Sweden has very weak mentality. We always lose important games. We need to buy terapists.

How important is a bronze medal game? Up until 2013 they had a fifth-place game as well; were those important? They're kids, they've just lost the biggest game of their lives. None of which is to say there isn't an issue with mentality with young Swedish players. Most of them looked like they'd rather be anywhere but on the ice once the US started putting pressure on them in the semi-final.
 
Doesnt look good for Finland. But silver lining in this defeat anyway. After the Shining Sun of the double junior gold last year I'll take it.
