lol thanks for hosting our gold next year will beat ye on new years eve then again for gold if you make it there

Worry about making it out of the quarterfinals. Until then, go back to the corner for non medal countries.

Rimpinen will be collecting his pro moneybags soon.

The absolutely insane pass from Zeev.

Yes his left eye really saw that seam.

Respect to Finland. They’re the real deal. To Canada, f*** off! lol thanks for hosting our gold.

Not sure that is necessary. Leave that up to the mods to decide. Won't hold my breath though.

Incredible game. An all time performance from the Finnish GK.

 

[Svedu]

What a shame seeing Moore having a gold medal on his neck instead of Rimpinen. Well, life isn't always fair.

Hope Rimpinen becomes good in the NHL.

 

[Byron Bitz]

Can’t believe the finish skaters had no response in OT after their goalie bailed them out with save after save. Just an embarrassing performance in OT by every finish player except the goalie.

 

[PWiz30]

We will kill that bird

GG

Wow what a game. Rimpinen player of the game by a country mile. USA deserved that one. Congrats to USA and congrats to Finland. Fantastic game but Rimpinen was EXCEPTIONAL!!!

 

[Seedtype]

LOL Leonard.

3v3 OT is a disappointing end to this tourney. Wish they did 5v5 for 20 mins... but a great one nonetheless

Or least 4 on 4. 4 on 4 would still probably end in 20 minutes. 3 on 3 doesn't feel like real hockey sometimes. So much circling back if things aren't right in the offensive zone. I actually hate the format. I miss 4v4 OT.

Wow what a pathetic ot from finland

they were gassed.

 

[JoVel]

Can't be too mad at this. Getting to the final was already a massive overachievement for this team, and they almost pulled it off against USA with a clearly inferior roster. Just too gassed in the end.

 

[GQS]

Finland in OT never looked dangerous. Always individuals trying to do it themselves while the Americans were working together to create good scoring chance after good scoring chance. Looked like the best team the whole tournament. Deserved win.

Stiga

 

[raduloff]

Did Finns wait to Rimpinen score gwg?

 

[rynryn]

two great games to end this tourny. USA!!! can't wait to see Buium Faber at the end of the year.

 

[Alienblood]

weak goal but great effort Finland

USA runs hockey.

You've done very well lately. Congrats.

Could you imagine if 3-on-3 lasted several OT periods? Blegh. Heh.

Rimpinen deserves the MVP more than anyone. No doubt, not even questionable.

I bet right now Rimpinen will not give jack-shit for some freaking consolation award.
Just like McDavid didn't give jack-shit for winning a conn smythe last years stanley cup finals.
