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

[agent082]

Finland has been better but USA is hanging there.

 

[Merya]

As opposed to 90 minutes of grown men faking injuries and almost no scoring chances? Damn right it is

 

[Saekk]

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...

Are we watching the same game? The one i'm watching has neither of the teams dominating the other one.

Overwhelmed by what?

The US is getting outshot despite having more PP's.

At best, this game is even.

 

[king89]

Close game, will be a great third if the refs just let them play

 

[talitintti]

Easy win for Finland. Not even a challenge at this point.

 

[tntkid]

Not big enough of a lead

The goal tending for Finland has been great.

Finland scoring on their powerplay was karma on the United States for running the goalie.

 

[Esko6]

Tolvanen way way overhyped

Maybe in 2017

 

[Conthedon]

USA has gotten so many PP on soft calls, I kinda hope we dont get anymore. Too many lost PP opportunities, finns had the better scoring chances on the pk as a result.

Keep it simple, guys in front of the net and shots from the blueline.

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

It isn't obvious at all to this point, the U.S haven't been killing them or anything like that.

North American hockey is more physical and honestly more entertaining.

Only when top ten NHL teams play against eachother in playoffs. Otherwise big ice will more likely make a better game.

 

[Plub]

Finland has been better but USA is hanging there.

I see the opposite. The U.S. has been better, but Finland hung around and got the lead. Kudos to them.

 

[Stubu]

Finland is small, we all have to do our sacrifices.

Nah, we're a superpower.

 

[king89]

I see the opposite. The U.S. has been better, but Finland hung around and got the lead. Kudos to them.

Exactly.

 

[trick9]

US has been good on the PP but they've already had what, 5 PP's? They are getting badly outshot 5-on-5 and need to pick it up even-strength too.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Hope USA ties it so that non goal doesnt decide things

 

[Master P]

North American hockey is easily the best. There really is no debate to be had.

 

[Canucks LB]

So I wanted to come here to see how this game is going, yeah....... no thanks..take care

 

[Genu]

Rather even game, with powerplays dictating the flow of the game. Hoping for a great 3rd period!

 

[Thebesthockey]

This game is just like the 99’ 2017 draft players


lame

 

[Section88]

Yeah tolvanen has been completely invisible.

 

[Mestaruus]

Luukkonen looks like a wall at the moment. He is not happy that he let 4 goals in the first meeting it seems.

 

[jj cale]

I see the opposite. The U.S. has been better, but Finland hung around and got the lead. Kudos to them.

This is a reasonable take, I don't think they have been way better but a little bit yeah, but as you say, Finns hung in there and got that big first goal.

3rd is where the rubber meets the road, which team raises their game?

 

[BB88]

As a neutral fan that's exactly what I am hoping for.

Maybe if living in NA

 

[SniperHF]

Move on from the soccer talk please

It’s pretty obvious in my opinion. I respect yours, but I believe you’re wrong. Finland can’t keep up with USA speed, resulting in all the penalties. They’re doubling them up in scoring chances and Suomi is having a tough time just getting it in the zone. I can’t be upset with our performance so far as an American, just need a bounce to go our way. Suomi is living on the edge with all the chances their giving up. Ferraro even agrees. Here’s to hoping we get some puck luck in this period
