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

[tntkid]

Made my night seeing USA lose.
Hughes parents must be quite sad.

Woooo Finland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Frank the Tank]

Who's this guy pumping the US national program tires in the post-game?

He just said that USA remains the team to beat at this tournament?

 

[David Suzuki]

When America chokes

 

[Machinehead]

Well deserved. A 6 million population hockey program against a 350 million population hockey program.

This is such crap.

The US has many different regions interested in many different sports. They have nowhere near 350 million hockey players.

 

[Periwinkle]

I had to turn off after the second US goal, I couldn't take it. Yay!

 

[Quinning]

Terrible play by Hughes at the end there. He had more than enough time to gain the zone, instead he just half ass slapped it at UPL

 

[Genu]

I'm also reminded that we're not really the best winners around here. Oh well, good game US

 

[SabresSharks]

Great victory, Finland. Enjoy yourselves, Finnish fans.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

 

[WaW]

YESSSSSS

The country with good, respectful fans won.

Congrats Finland, you deserve it.

And how about my boy Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen! Guy will get a standing O when he gets back to Sudbury next weekend!

 

[State of Hockey]

Finns played a better all around game
Not sure why the USA stopped the forcheck in the last 8-10 minutes
Thanks for the Canadian fans for cheering for the Finns

Hastings' coached teams have a tendency to do that late in tied or close games.

 

[agent082]

I missed the game. What happend?

Don't know. That's why I am asking.

 

[mattcookefan]

@AmericanDream too bad that meaningless game didn’t count and we didn’t go home enjoy your silver buddy! Kakko with the clutch. Yikes better luck next year. Hopefully the silver tastes good.

Every game in the iihf is meaningless

 

[AD1066]

Congrats Finland! Hurts to lose, but all things considered a silver exceeded my expectations this year.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Next time give the refs sticks USA. Nice try

 

[Killahpunk]

Kakko Kakko Kakko

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Finland got lucky but also capitalized on the chances. USA probably played better than Finland but couldn't capitalize on their chances. Credit to Finland, killed every penalty against the best PP in the tournament. Probably why they won considering how many chances the American's had.

 

[Breakers]

Terrible play by Hughes at the end there. He had more than enough time to gain the zone, instead he just half ass slapped it at UPL

that is such a tough thing to know that he had an extra 2 seconds

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Well deserved. A 6 million population hockey program against a 350 million population hockey program.

Yeah. Lots of hockey going on in Mississippi and Alabama...

 

[Star Ocean]

Well deserved. A 6 million population hockey program against a 350 million population hockey program.

Of those 6 million like 3 million plays hockey while maybe 10 million of 350 play hockey in the US

 

[Friar85]

Great game. Congrats Finland. Earned it. Congrats to the USA boys, great tournament. Showed guts fighting back against a talented team and 18000 Finnish fans.

 

[maxbme]

Anton Lundell is 17.

oops, assumed 16 because he isn't eligible till 2020. Still pretty nuts. Says a lot about finlands confidence in these kids.

 

[TimeZone]

Terrible play by Hughes at the end there. He had more than enough time to gain the zone, instead he just half ass slapped it at UPL

I highly doubt he knew how much time was left...

 

[FinlandPanther]

Every game in the iihf is meaningless

You’re right.

 

[Machinehead]

Refs handed finland this win total bull****

Stop.

2-2 with 10 minutes left, everything on the line, we got our teeth kicked in.

Better team won.
