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

[Thebesthockey]

Playing them huge minutes is controversial tactic.

high risk but high payback

at this point you play your best players

Not really, he was playing in the 2nd division of Sweden, which is a grown men league and was dominant as a 17 yrs old. But one average tournament, stock dropped

Okay so Pettersson going from scoring under a PPG in Allsvenskan to winning the SHL MVP in his very next Season isn't considered a breakout year to you? I'm done here.

 

[Firsov99]

Is junior hockey not north american hockey?

No. Just like North America is not the entire world.

 

[PG Canuck]

There's plenty of sample sizes of Stanley Cups too. They keep contesting that.

Oh god why did we have to open this can of worms

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

"Ferraro even agrees" that says all to me. Biased folks like him should keep to themselves in the media.

 

[Merya]

We need to pressure the refs! Can I get a harrumpf?

 

[Section88]

i dont think he will play any significant nhl amount of games

i knew it when he got de committed from BC

I admittedly havent seen him play very much but every time i have seen him he has failed to impress me. I just dont see the appeal

 

[Saekk]

I'm ****ing tired of watching pk/pp all game. Let them play in the third reffs..

IIHF refs at least used to hide the whistles in the 3rd period of medal games, but not sure if that's the thing anymore.

 

[Thebesthockey]

Sure but NCAA they wear masks and cant fight..AHL is ok..NHL is going towards no fighting.

lol NcAA they fight ?

 

[Lempo]

I think it would be a huge mistake.

 

[SantosHalper]

20 min away from the gold. Keep fighting, keep grinding. Suomi Suomi Suomi Suomi Suomi Suomi Suomi

 

[Machinehead]

Because I wanna watch international hockey and the NHL seems to be against it for some reason.

Biased for who? He’s Canadian... don’t think he’s rooting for either team here, bud

 

[KrejciMVP]

Nope

Ferraro agreeing was the kiss of death ...haha

 

[CLW]

Want to see much more from Kupari, Heponiemi and Tolvanen. Laaksonen needs to play simpler with the puck.

 

[Thebesthockey]

I think it would be a huge mistake.

so a number 7 overall and projected 1 overall is risky ? how will that translate to nhl ?

 

[Bixby Snyder]

Come on Finland shutout those damn Yanks!

 

[DoubleGold]

20 min away from the gold. Keep fighting, keep grinding. Suomi Suomi Suomi Suomi Suomi Suomi Suomi

Hakkaa päälle!

Sure. Not one bit of his pay is coming from U.S.

Not worth discussing this further.

 

[Thebesthockey]

I think it would be a huge mistake.

find put 2 x 17 yr olds on pk

 

[king89]

PERKELE, SUOMI

 

[Plub]

No. Just like North America is not the entire world.

Might as well be

 

[Machinehead]

The Finnish goalie could be napping

 

[4thlineduster]

Is Jack Hughes playing? Just tuned in towards the end of the second and haven’t heard his name once
