Never seen it called once in an NHL game.

It was a weird situation for sure, and the refs missed it.

Seems like the Finnish goalie laid an egg but Canada was ready for this game.

Wouldnt put it on goalie to be honest.

Wouldnt put it on goalie to be honest.

He was garbage in the beginning and spotted Canada a 4-0 lead.

I just hope Hayton is actually secretly and surprisingly ok. This would be an amazing final.

Doubtful. I am guessing a broken collarbone.

 

[Bustedprospect]

Why do you play the first line and getting hurt like happened? Game was closed and the victory was home. Why not play the bench and rest players and dont create this risk.

Could that single situation cost Canada the gold?

Team Canada was better team in everyway possible in a hockey game.

By eye-test.

Holding his arm?

 

[Tanknation]

well we did miss Kakko kotkaniemi Lundell Kupari nordgren and played only 11 forwards (our coach being dump)...

Teams don't have players at the WJC due to other obligations or injuries. This goes for many teams and not just Finland. So not sure what the point of a post like this is.

 

[Copenhagen91]

Nah, he was sick.

Thanks

 

[Copenhagen91]

He was out sick the whole game after trying the warmups.

Thank you

Well, that didn't leave much to say. Very emphatic. Congratulations to Canada and good luck to the final.

Kommentti: Suomalaisen katsojan painokelvottomat sanat Ostravassa tiivistivät kaiken – Nuoret Leijonat ei ansainnut tippaakaan enempää YLE analysis.

The Best and most objective part.

"Suomen esityksen tiivisti painokelvottomilla sanoilla pressikatsomon ohi ensimmäisellä erätauolla kävellyt suomalaismies. Hän pysähtyi toimittajien eteen, katsoi vieressäni istunutta lehtimieskollegaani suoraan silmiin ja lausui sanat, joista kaikkia ei tähän voi kirjoittaa, joten käytetään lyhennemuotoa: ”Pistä sinne vaan, että VMP!”. Tuo lyhenne taisi kaikua myös Nuorten Leijonien mielessä tämän välierän aikana ja vielä sen jälkeenkin."

VMP!

Those are top players from Finland, and out depth is really thin.. Otteeseen, you're right

Not mad at all. Completely deserved win for Canada. The score looks a bit uglier than the game did IMO but that's how it goes sometimes.

The refs were bad but at least they missed calls both ways.

You realize for Canada, we have like 10 players who are eligible but not there, right?

Of note, I can think of... Kirby Dach, Noah Dobson, Evan Bouchard, Nick Suzuki, Maxime Comtois, Cody Glass, Robert Thomas... All of which would be Canada's best player at this tournament. There are likely more less notable candidates.

monumental fail, dude. all of the bolded players aged out of the last tournament last year in Vancouver.

We are without 2 players who are in the NHL. Dach and Dobson. That's it. All teams in in the same boat, missing a couple to 4 key players.

Same as Finns with Kotkaniemi and Kakko.

You realize that Finland doesnt have same depth as Canada?

Lundell? Kupari?

NHL players. I didn't count injuries, as we didn't talk about them.
