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

[JJTT]

Oh look Latvala sucking again

 

[tntkid]

Keep it up Finland.

Get rid of USA.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

USA gotta start putting everything on net. Don't get too pretty. And get the Hughes boys out as much as possible. Quinn is having a great game too, good bounce back for him.

 

[Merya]

No I want Finland to win I have $1000 riding on them.

Thats the most extreme jinx.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Keep it up Finland.

Get rid of USA.

Not big enough of a lead

 

[ijuka]

Way too much Eurofication. Too many penalties discourage physical play. Bizarre crease violations discourage crashing the net. It's like the intent is to make it a no contact low scoring snoozefest. It's boring. And an inferior product. It reduces hockey to soccer level boring

Look, the thing is this. This is an international tournament, where the players are mostly kids. They don't necessarily have the job security that NHL players have.

 

[Finnswiss]

Can anyone tell me how the game is going on so far? Finns have more shots on the US goal than USA on the Finns goal so far but are the Finns the more dangerous team or the USA?

 

[Kairi Zaide]

North American hockey is more physical and honestly more entertaining.

I have found this tournament to be pretty entertaining.

 

[Thebesthockey]

Why should Amerification be promoted over Eurofication?

even nhl moving with more of the smalker sized players

nhl never been more boring

You got a penalty for elbowing the goalie and then someone tripped the Finn with his skate. Stop crying.

If your team was winning you wouldn't have posted this.
Feel free to explain which penalty hurt you so much too.

 

[Esko6]

It is cool when a captain has heart, but Ylönen looks good and Talvitie is not 100%.

This

The U.S. can skate, pass, and deke. It's that tricky shooting thing we can't quite figure out.


What's weird is that this kind of style is only forced when certain teams are playing. I guarantee you if Canada and the U.S were playing this game would be way more physical with a lot less calls.

We have one of the smallest teams in the tournament, it wouldn't make sense for us to keep looking for hits against bigger players especially when we don't have that sort of players much.

Yea man. Euro's are soft. This should be played the MURICAN way!

 

[bigdog16]

Let em play in the 3rd. Penalties have ruined the flow of this game.

 

[Section88]

Soccer is the most popular sports in the world, just because the soccer product in NA sucks, doesn’t mean it’s boring

Dont listen to that fool

 

[Yooper906]

Regardless of who wins this one game, it’s pretty obvious who the better team is. USA been carrying the play the whole game. Good performance for Suomi goalie, but other than that, haven’t really been impressed by any other player on Suomi. Other then their captain. Like his toughness to come back

 

[Jaykay]

Pretty even, refs are calling too many penalties and it's disrupting flow.

 

[Master P]

LMAO

U.S. has had the better chances, but the Finish are winning. Their PK has been very good. Fairly even game.

 

[trick9]

Tape/bandages and probably a shot of something to soothe the pain. Selänne once talked about what the docs of the team gave him in the NHL during playoffs to playthrough injuries. Appearently is was somessome strong ****.

Bergeron played through what, a collapsed lunge and broken ribs?

If it's on the knees there isn't that much you can do.

 

[Thebesthockey]

Tolvanen way way overhyped

 

[Fred McCarthy]

If the Finns win this game , the defence and goalie should get few more Karats in their medal . They must totally feel overwhelmed , but their bending but not breaking . Quite a performance...

 

[DownGoesMcDavid]

USA cant open up too much. Finland is very good on the counter
