He was Finland's player of the game and got the cool painted canoe paddle.

[Munnyro]

Svoboda has decent straight line speed.

 

[LadyStanley]

So a Sharks prospect will bring home gold

Rimpinen should've been the star of the game last night but he was already in three stars selection so they probably had to go with someone else.

Finland had little business winning that game after that 3rd period, but I'll more than take it. Not looking forward to the bittersweet Finals loss, though.

Can be player of the game every game of the tournament, but it is hard to pick against a 4 point night.

I suppose. I would've still gone with Rimpinen. To be honest I had no idea he posted 4 points and I watched every second of the game.

I didn't watch the game or see who the player of the game was but going off just stats i am assuming it was helenius.

That explains. Yeah Helenius was 0+4, but Halttunen was the player of the game for Finland with an assist on the GWG (being 0+1).

Ok then both were wrong, it should of been helenius lol

Watching the US/Fin OT made me really think about how much I hate that 3-on-3 OT has become dominated by pulling back out of the zone to regroup constantly when things don't set up perfectly or when there's no chance to try and slip in an odd-man rush attempt.

Given that one can argue the 3-on-3 format is already tinkering with the rules of hockey beyond the norm, I don't see the harm in tinkering a little further and instituting some sort of reverse-offsides/over-and-back rule where if the offensive team in OT takes the puck back across the blue line to neutral ice when all 3 offensive players are in the offensive zone that the whistle is blown and a faceoff happens at one of the faceoff dots in the close side of the neutral zone (where a FO would happen if the team had gone in offside.)

Fans were lustily booing teams in every OT for bailing out of the offensive zone and skating back as far as their own defensive zone to reset the attack repeatedly during the same play sequence and I get why: It's boring as hell.

If the defensive team knocks the puck out of their own zone on a tip, deflection, or poke that doesn't cause the faceoff. Only if an attacking player directly shoots/drops the puck out or attempts to skate it out on his own.
