Worlds

World Championship ends this weekend. Semifinals today are Finland-Russia and Canada-US. Bronze and gold medal games tomorrow between today's losers and winners.

Not looking good for Russia.

That was a rough second period for them.

Will Aho join the Canes next season? It would be awesome if the Calder race turned into a Finnish threeway battle.

Re: Worlds

AFAIK yes! That will be awesome. Even my most humble wish is for one of the many amazing rookie Finns to become a finalist. More than one of them? Omg, amazing.

I'm rooting for Finland to win since I've lived there for a while so I'm dancing with you. :D

Patrik Laine admitted earlier in the tournament that his favourite player is Alex Ovechkin and after getting hit by the Russian during their semi-final, Laine joked that he would never wash his jersey.

I'm looking forward to some potential Laine/Ovi next season! Media are probably going to hype up their match ups.

What I don't want to see happen today, McDavid muilt points game. If you keep McDavid off the score sheet US, I don't care how bad you end up losing. Just don't want to deal with the media going how clutch he is.

I'm going to laugh so hard if the USA beat Canada.

Re: Worlds

There's no one on team Canada I love this year, so go team underdogs!

Re: Worlds

[(Anonymous)]

Well, damn. I was hoping the US would pull off a last minute goal and then win it in overtime, but I'm really happy with the way they looked in the last period. And there's still the possibility they medal and it was a one goal game instead of a blowout!

And now I can root for Finland to win gold. Go Finland!

Re: Worlds

[(Anonymous)]

I was really surprised by how good they looked in periods 2 & 3, good luck in the bronze medal game!

Re: Worlds

[(Anonymous)]

So did team USA not show up for the bronze or is Russia just amazingly good? Anyone watching?

Re: Worlds

[(Anonymous)]

I think Russia are just the better team. The difference between the defense and goaltending are particularly noticeable.

Re: Worlds

[(Anonymous)]

Poor Plots will never score again. He must be approaching a year without a goal now.

Re: Worlds

[(Anonymous)]

And they didn't medal I'm not upset as I thought I would be

Re: Worlds

Ferraro was just talking in the vaguest possible terms about guys saying no to joining team USA for worlds, leading to a young team and relative lack of auccess compared to that potential roster. Any of y'all have any context as to whether that's the case? Like, who of the NHL teams that were definitely not going to the playoffs would/could have been on the first US roster? Did anyone on your team definitely say no?

On my quick scan and from faulty memory, and not at all cross referenced with who's ever been part of the US system, I've got Pacioretty, Eichel, and, uh...

SA, having taken two minutes to look at rosters

Johnny Gaudreau, Bobby Ryan, Other Foligno, JVR (on IR)...

McD gets his goal!

Re: Worlds

I'm kind of happy for him even though I want Finland to win.

Re: Worlds

Laine sitting on the ice all defeated ouch. :(

Russia coach: Yakupov exclusion 'addition by subtraction'

Znarok is such a douchebag. I was hoping that Russia would lose the Bronze medal game purely so that he would be replaced before the World Cup, but alas....
