PGT: WJC Gold Medal Game | Finland Win Gold Over USA 3-2

[ijuka]

So why does having a small part of your anatomy in a different painted part of the ice while a goal is being scored (all the while not interfering or obstructing any goaltender efforts to stop the puck) necessitate a goal being disallowed?

Why is being there and having no impact on the play whatsoever such an egregious violation that a goal is stolen from your team?

Do people at the IIHF have brains?

No impact? You missed the part where the player prevented Luukkonen from covering the puck up with his skate?

Finland getting badly outplayed and they just lost their captain.

Uh... they're completely outplaying the U.S at even strength.

Finland getting badly outplayed and they just lost their captain.

Finland got outplayed when the US had the PPs. Otherwise the US didn't do more than the Finns. Finland really needs to get the PP going badly.

dirty USA play

No it wasnt

 

[Saekk]

dirty USA play

There was nothing dirty in that play, just looked like he twisted his leg while hitting the board.

 

[JJTT]

That sucked.

Latvala and Honka are brutal..

 

[FinnishSniper]

Great hockey game so far, both teams with great scoring chances!

 

[SI90]

The puck was in the crease before Sasha. That’s ridiculous

 

[hososo]

What is European football? Do you mean soccer or rugby?

soccer

 

[Ukkosenjumala]

I don't know what people are watching if they thought Finland got dominated. Both teams had their chances, those two penalties swinged the momentum for US tho

 

[Lepardi]

What is European football? Do you mean soccer or rugby?

It's a sport where you kick a ball with your feet. Hence football. If a sport is about throwing and carrying an egg-shaped object, hand-egg would be a more logical name for it than football.

Pulju was playing in WJC in his -2 season.

I hope Lundell opens some eyes on this tourney already& doesn't have to claim through the rankings in a similar fashion.

Pulju was my #1 ranked prospect at that time. I started to grow a little more concerned after that. He's got some serious puck control issues.

 

[FinnishSniper]

Brutal reffing again. Where did they find these yokels?

?

 

[SI90]

The guy pushed the finnish tendies stick off his hand, in the NHL loads of calls like that have been made this season, suck it up

Stop it. That didn’t happen.

 

[Hasa92]

Yep, Sabres fans should be very happy about this pick.

He has very clear starter pedigree.

What's especially impressive is that the last game against this very team he was terrible, amazing to regain confidence so fast and to keep focus playing the US again and on the Gold medal game.

If Finland somehow wins this, he has to be MVP.

 

[Saekk]

He means football, not american football.

 

[ijuka]

It's just hard to take your opinion seriously after being so adamant for years that Laine is better, despite there being a large gap between the two players.

Well, feel free to think whatever you like. But you can't deny Heiskanen, Kotkaniemi fitting the bill. Then again, what can I expect out of someone whose MO seems to be off-topic showboating?

Football played in Europe. Don't try to be smart if you fail in your own grammar. It's like North American Ice Hockey. Dork!

I legitimately don't know if you mean soccer, rugby, or real football just played in Europe (Like NFL Europe)

 

[behemolari]

US had the best chance on finns PP..

Usually they score shorthanded against Finland. Very lucky to be still alive in this tournament, SUOMI!!!

 

[king89]

A beautiful man

I'm in America where it's football. That other thing is communist kickball divefest

If Finland somehow wins this, he has to be MVP.

He probably is the only possible choice, seeing as Talvitie is injured and can't be a hero in the finals. I doubt anyone else could do enough. Unless someone scores a meaningful hat trick or some such.

 

[IceHockeyDude]

I won't be SAD if usa wins this one. They are the better team.

A football looks nothing like an egg

 

[FinnishSniper]

Stop it. That didn’t happen.

The Finns are always biased, yet it’s always the Americans making awful claims.
