GDT: Gold medal game: Finland vs USA; Jan 5., 2025; 19:30 EST

[Boss Man Hughes]

NCAA is 99% adults. CHL is the league with juveniles, and if we base it off Team Canada’s conduct, it’s mostly juvenile delinquents

Of course they are. CHL players start at 16, 17 Players don't go to college until after they are drafted. 18 or 19. It's up to the the CHL teams to make sure the younger players don't get into trouble.

TSN joke panel all in the same segment.

Craig Button did a scripted pop quiz why Canada lost and each panelist had their pre-canned answer where they purposely picked a different choice.

Mike Johnson then picked Finland to win.

Then Johnson did a weird off script quiz at James Duthie, where Duthie gave a weird angry answer which definitely made it seem like an on the spot dialogue between them.

Hilarious.

(Also, since Canada lost, Jeff Oneill nowhere to be found doing today's TSN panel)

Should be an excellent game. Finland has the formula to win, though USA are the favourites. They can be frustrating, stay disciplined in the DZ, and find counterattack chances. They have the goaltending advantage too.

USA's skill players will have to convert their chances. They won't win on volume.

 

[Machinehead]

I think that graphic was wrong.

USA beat Canada 5-4 in 2017.

Petteri won't let any.

Let's go SUOMI

 

[MNRube]

Here comes the Buium. Drop a hot Carle on these Finns

 

[chris kontos]

Is everybody from new york as weird as ej radek?

 

[SI90]

BC line continues to give me heart attacks in our own end

 

[agent082]

How he missed an open goal?

 

[Svedu]

Helenius such a bad finisher...

 

[king89]

Possible to make thread live?

It was Kiiskinen let my bro Helenius rest a bit

 

[c9gunner]

Good speed so far

No doubt the BC will struggle in the D zone at the next level. Will be interesting though

 

[Svedu]

ah

Haha, sorry! Both of them actually. Kiiskinen gets more opportunities but misses at least 3/4. Halttunen too. Hopefully not tonight.

 

[agent082]

Finland 2 sure goals but 0 actual goals. Finnishing is a huge problem.

 

[Go19]

Looks like it will take a major international incident for a penalty

 

[Summer Rose]

I'm late for the start! Whoops.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Alright Suomi lets do this

 

[TimeZone]

USA needs to clean this shit up defensively man....way too many grade A scoring chances against in the first 5 minutes

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Finland is flying

 

[SI90]

We’re sucking in our own end. Now a penalty. Not good.

 

[king89]

Love our energy

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Finland looking good to start

 

[agent082]

Finland just can't score. Two surefire goals and two 50 % goals.
