Refs handed finland this win total bull****

Talk about sore loser. Just log out

Didn't Jack Hughes have plenty of room ahead of him to skate closer before taking that shot? Still had about 5 seconds left on the clock there...

I saw a Tweet about him the other day (or was that today) about him always shooting even if there were better options. Maybe that applies to when he shoots too.

 

[Genu]

Good win for Finland. They were a completely different team when the medal round started, night and day. They deserved it as I thought they carried the play a bit more tonight.

For the people chirping Hughes though, he will still go 1st overall quite easily in my opinion. Head and shoulders the best player in this draft.

I don't know about head and shoulders, but i do still feel he has that superstar 90-100 point potential. Do you think he will be center in NHL eventually?

You say this every time the U.S loses, cmon man.

And why be glum..............you are a thousand clams richer tonight after all.

 

[PrototypeX85]

They disallowed a U.S. goal in the 1st period and even the Finnish TV pundits thought it was a questionable call.

Yeah, the US got fleeced by the refs. Doesn't change the fact that they played like crap and deserved to lose.

 

[Kimota]

This is such crap.

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

But you would think 350 people would get their shit together.

Kaapo Kakkoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
You're national hero now. What 2-3 goal.

The curse is broken.
Team Finland U20 WJC WORLD CHAMPIONS 2019.
Nyt poika saunoo.

 

[ijuka]

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

Knew it'd be fine because at least it wasn't a 5-1 lead in the 2nd.

 

[TakeTheBody]

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?

He's right. USA is the real power team in North America. Quite frankly the world.

 

[TimeZone]

Every game in the iihf is meaningless

This is a fun tournament. Best on best is always meaningful though.

When America chokes

5th? 8th? Kinda lost track of you guys.

 

[Dominance]

Poehling, where you going bud?

 

[Machinehead]

The shitty part is, that's the last meaningful hockey I have until the next WJC.

Of course, that's not USA hockey's fault.

 

[Master P]

When America chokes

How was that choking?

Scoreboard was above his head.

 

[Outofbodyinhungary]

How is Finnish goalie not best of the tournament

 

[hockey20000]

THANKYOU FINIAND . aIways my pick once Canada goes out. nice to see them win for the 3rd time. pIus I Iove watching the hughes brothers Iose haha. so much for Americas first hockey famiIy.. kakko beat hughes at under 18 now under 20 kakko #1

 

[Lepardi]

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

Gretzky knew how to count backwards from 60 seconds to 0. He learned it for these situations.

 

[Domonsky]

Congrats Finland!!

Well deserved. You guys rock!!

Edit: I have to add congrats USA!! Silver medal is pretty good result as well!

 

[ecemleafs]

poeling?!?! are u f***ing kidding me? the guy played one great period in this tournamnet and was a ghost since that period.

 

[Star Ocean]

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

Atleast finland take their kids. Sweden only goes with 18 and 19 year olds no matter how bad they are

 

[Dominance]

How is it even possible that certain American fans can dare to blame this on reffing?!

 

[crowi]

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

Sounds like a typical shill (for money), much like Ferraro.

The US had 5 PPs to get a goal on and failed at doing so lol. The US only has themselves to blame for their loss.

 

[Canadian Finn]

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

so what you are saying is the States have over 3 times as many players playing hockey than Finland.

makes the win even sweeter.
