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

[IslandBeast]

Just go 5 on 5 until someone scores

 

[Wasted Talent]

At least there's no shootout, right? It's just 3-on-3 until someone scores

 

[Go19]

Hutson should be an animal during 3v3

 

[WarriorofTime]

Oh god, Finland always wins Gold in overtime (2014, 2016 and 2019 was scored with like a minute a half left in effectively overtime). We're screwed. Someone call John Carlsson.

 

[Frank Drebin]

It's 5AM and I need to wake up in an hour but I haven't gone to sleep yet. Shitty day ahead I guess

wow
true fan

 

[PWiz30]

Dry January is officially suspended for the duration of the overtime intermission.

 

[Lenny Levino]

Whoever scores next will win.

 

[Pieck]

I say it’ll be Hagens (parallels to Kakko’s winner in 2019) or Helenius (first goal of the tournament)

 

[WarriorofTime]

How about Leonard from Hutson?

 

[Svedu]

3v3 goes to USA. They are too fast. I'd prefer 5v5 and if a must 4v4.

God I hope Rimpinen can win a gold for his team.

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

OT scares the shit out of me. I feel like Finland is better 3vs3

Wrong USA is better 3vs3

 

[Dakota Sioux]

Anything beats a shootout

 

[SantosHalper]

Alasiurua has pace left, he will score the winning goal for Finland.

Let's go Finland!! CaMa!!!

 

[Opus]

It's 5AM and I need to wake up in an hour but I haven't gone to sleep yet. Shitty day ahead I guess

wow
tired fan

Fixed it for ya!

@DeeQ - hope the outcome makes it worth it for you, mate

 

[ijuka]

the next goal will decide the game

 

[Tryblot]

Please don't go to another 15 round shootout.

 

[Zanon]

Loooool 3-on-3

 

[ottawarenegader613]

OT and Shootout in a bronze medal game. Now continous OT in a gold medal game until a player scores the golden goal for their nation to become a World Junior Hockey Champion. All about the drama at the World Juniors.

 

[gritdash60]

I think Benzamin Ruuthainen will end this game real quick

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Crying shame its 3-on-3 OT to win the tourney...

Awful. Gold medal will be decided by a gimmick one way or another.

 

[Svedu]

I say it’ll be Hagens (parallels to Kakko’s winner in 2019) or Helenius (first goal of the tournament)

Hagens, Moore and Perreault sounds like good choices.

If Helenius would score I would actually scream and laugh at the same time. Won't happen.

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

3v3 goes to USA. They are too fast. I'd prefer 5v5 and if a must 4v4.

God I hope Rimpinen can win a gold for his team.

Every Finn hopes that but lets be a realists.
If USA will not take one stupid or idiotic penalty in overtime they win.

 

[AirGut]

Wish this tourney could last forever tbh

 

[Lenny Levino]

3v3 goes to USA. They are too fast. I'd prefer 5v5 and if a must 4v4.

God I hope Rimpinen can win a gold for his team.

They beat Sweden in 3v3 though. They can do it again here.

 

[Svedu]

I think Benzamin Ruuthainen will end this game real quick

He has been quite hot tonight and yesterday. He would deserve a goal.
