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

 

[Section88]

Might be a dumb question but what is suomi or what does it stand for?

 

[Saekk]

Soviet union?

Even as a finn, i have to admit that the Russian anthem is pretty f***ing good.

 

[tntkid]

I’m talking overall dominance. Canada isn’t dominating like they used to

This is honestly about Finland winning the gold with a great win over USA.

Finland is the best team in the tournament.

 

[Genu]

Did Kakko do enough to pass Jack Hughes in draft rankings?

It's just one tournament in a long season worth of play. Kakko shouldn't be picked over Hughes because of this tournament.

 

[BlitzSnipe]

Congratulations to Team Finland for the well-earned Gold medal! The US also played very well and showed heart throughtout the tournament, congrats to them on the Silver medal.

 

[Stubu]

Soviet union?

France has a pretty awesome anthem too. We should have done Sibelius' Finlandia instead, there was a debate back then... but of course I love hearing this one now...

 

[DoubleGold]

Might be a dumb question but what is suomi or what does it stand for?

It's the Finnish name for Finland.

Where were Canadian fans booing Finland last night?

When they came on the ice

 

[Canadian Finn]

Frankly who cares about gold in this tourney? A year from now most of these kids will be be playing far more important hockey and will have forgotten about this game.

I promise you, not a single kid on that ice currently wearing a Gold will forget about this game in a year from now....

Finns take their country pride seriously.

 

[Genu]

USA has a phenomenal team. Doesn’t matter that he thinks we suck but you guys easily could’ve won a gold medal. The difference was a kakko, that’s it.

I mean, we did win gold.. I'm finn

 

[SanDogBrewin]

I am so disappointed , its over

Agree good game.

 

[ecemleafs]

Even as a finn, i have to admit that the Russian anthem is pretty ****ing good.

think we can all admit that...

 

[LemonSauceD]

Disappointing tournament for Quinn Hughes

 

[Section88]

It's the Finnish name for Finland.

Thanks

Even as a finn, i have to admit that the Russian anthem is pretty ****ing good.

Yeah, they have the best anthem, honestly. It's a weird feeling. But it's an incredible piece of art.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Canada's still the leader in best on best, we won very easily in 2014 & prob would've had the best team in 2018. That's what really counts not World Juniors, these are only teenagers in select age groups.

 

[AD1066]

Tick-tock, Canada. Writing is on the wall. Enjoy learning to share over the next 10-20 years

 

[FinlandPanther]

I mean, we did win gold.. I'm finn

Oh that was jsut an excellent game overall. The PK saved us.

 

[tntkid]

It made my week watching Canada embarrass themselves on home ice. Only a Canadian would be dumb enough to laugh at the Americans for winning silver

Finland are a classy team and not dirty players that lay on pucks and run goalies.

Many fans of teams that were eliminated were cheering for Finland to beat USA and win gold.

 

[Calendal]

Quite funny.

Just read that Finland has the most guns and rifles per capita in the world.

Me not being able to bring my assault rifle and tank with me sound pretty insane after reading that.

Actually Iceland has most guns per capita in the world.

It’s not true, but you also ”just read it”.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

What make this even more impressive for the Fins is that they were missing 2 amazing talents in Kotkaniemi and Heiskanen and still managed to win gold. For a small country like Finland this is amazing.

 

[KrejciMVP]

USA should have won if it wasn't for that BS no goal.

 

[Genu]

Have to say, absolutety ridiculous that one bounce in Canada game lit fire under Finns asses. Played their best hockey in semifinals and finals

insane the winning goal was by a 17 year old and the primary assist was a 16 year old

Lundell is also 17
