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

Idk...it is a Canadian broadcast not exactly sure what you expect? Probably wouldn't be watching it at all without them though!

yes we should all be thankful to Canada, I for one am greatly appreciative to TSN for broadcasting these games they played a pivotal role in me being able to see them on the NHL network and it was nice for the arena to host the three best medalling countries at hockey in a neutral venue like Canada

If it doesn't have hotdogs....its not phil "tha thrill" Kessel.

You gotta make it then. Those were the best I could find haha.

 

[Machinehead]

Canada might win the next one lol.

It's not like full-time teams that can have a bad GM or a break prospect pool.

There's huge overturn and it comes down to the 23 guys you have that year, plus a bit of luck.

The US starting to win more often was the natural conclusion of more interest compared to generations ago.

 

[WarriorofTime]

Is there actually an expectation of impartiality on a Canadian broadcast....for Canadians? Duthie probably(definitely) was cheering for Canada....because of course he was lol

There's an expectation of professionalism.

Speaking with a Canadian bent is not really the same as homerism.

TSN ended it's broadcast fast. Each panelist got one final statement and now they are showing the credits. I guess off to Sportsdesk in the next 2 minutes.

No post game interviews or anything.

 

[I Hate Philadelphia]

Hockey is an AMERICAN sport.

This tournament should be a wake up call for them. They didn’t send their best team honestly. They left crazy talent at home

Who cares about Canada. We’re back to back champs, it’s about us, not them.

The NTDP is an amazing program. If not for that I'm not so sure the US would be as successful.

It was nice of them to keep covering us winning in little brother’s barn. Remember, the tournament ended MUCH earlier for them.

Worst ot ever.
I know fins can skate but they looked like they were swimming . Awful.

Some teams get clear advantages in 3 on 3 .Just look at the Oilers in the NHL as prime example.

Selection is a crapshoot. When you have 100 players to choose from you don't always get it right.

 

[Bankers Box]

As expected a talentless sack of shit scores.

You have real issues.

Is it fun to act like a 12 year old on sport forums?

Enjoy it ....ypu guys were fantastic this year.

 

[Lou Sassole]

Great game Finland, you deserved the win. Extremely bad refs in this game, but just like us yesterday, you should have killed the game in the first period when you dominated.

Also, f*** Leonard. What a pathetic player. And he wears the C…Only in America. Hutson brothers are something else, a pleasure to watch for many years to come.

Tell us you're still butthurt about last years final, without telling us you're still butthurt by last years final. Lol

 

[Bankers Box]

Finns lack killer instinct lol how you manage to lose this game after the first half of it

No shame on the Finns, USA was just much better after waking up.

 

[AirGut]

GG Fins

I disagree. Canada had some glaring omissions and it isn’t hindsight. There was head scratchers pre tournament

A lot times, the guys putting these teams together outsmart themselves with the grit n' grind and putting together "the right guys."

There's a reason they made a movie about 1980. The best roster usually wins.

 

[Joe Zanussi]

So f***ing good. Back to back. Unreal

 

[kobe12]

3v3 OT in the knockout stage is crazy..

 

[Nathaniel Skywalker]

The nations cup is a must win now. As is the 26 olympics

 

[22Brad Park]

What would it take to make Canada competitive in this tournament again? Finland, Sweden, US, and Czechia gonna have to start sending their B and C rosters instead?

They will be tough next yr in Minnesota is a good bet

 

[Joe Zanussi]

Just scrolling thru….i get all the Leonard anger. But he wins so many pucks…if he was on your team, you’d love him. If you don’t admit that, you’re kinda lying
