Jan.05/2024 IIHF World Junior Championship CZECHIA – FINLAND

Bronze Medal Game

Four world junior hockey championship first up the bronze medal game between czechia and Finland they’ve been one bronze medal game before it was 20 years ago in Hell sinking the fins went it by a score of 2 to one referees are tobius Bor of Sweden Troy Murray of Regina sukatan and nist

Of Sweden and Lucas lampier of czechia so a check gets to work the bronze medal game between the fins and the Cs they’ve been trying to work the rotation over the years Nicholas coko has one and three record allowed three goals on 30 shots in the loss to the United States

Yesterday and mihael has played every minute of every game for check he struggled in the loss yesterday to Sweden allowed five goals on 31 shots Lori M the head coach of the Finish team his first year behind the bench as their National Junior Team head coach and Patrick Agusta his first year

With the head coach of the Czech National Junior team they made the semi-finals for the third consecutive year first first time in a quarter Century they’ve done that last year the checks won their first medal in 18 years at the [Applause] Juniors Troy Murray the son of longtime NHL Scout Al

Murray and his dad doing as much scouting of the officials here as he was of players while he was here but he’s earned a spot the final Lane that’s a big thr for the officials as well okay guys no pressure today just a chance to be great sticks

Down that’s all there you go go get him that lead pass from cool Miss right away an icing call against the checks the fins open with a pair of losses to Canada and Germany then reeled off three straight wins before the narrow loss yesterday James Dy mentioned it the fins

Had the two nothing lead it was 22 in the third they were right on the door step of taking down really the top team in the tournament does that make this game easier or harder to play that’s the question and that’s now [Applause] historically long shot that bounc around

In front these two countries play hard for bronze which is a testament to them well a metal means a lot and uh I think if you ask anyone who’s played in a bronze medal game like me it means more later years later than it might at the time

Yep now a centering pass and the backand shot rolled wide there by Edward CH and the checks have put together the three veterans shalet Kul and shaav valam for this bronze medal game all three playing in the Third World Junior tournament perfect start for czechia rolled off this

Stick’s actually playing in a second turnning from last year the check bring back five from last year’s C medal game seven can return for them next year including a defenseman who got hurt in the first game Adam suffered a knee injury that will end his season the same

Thing after his brother two years ago now still in the offensive zone by sebas Redick that’s knock wise David y was able to return in time for the world championship was drafted in the first round by the Columbus Blue Jacket up the checks will be the host nation for the upcoming men’s World

Championship in Prague and ustraa in May KMI goes back plays that back around for Oto salion s up it for kesan that’s Stripped Away and the puck moved ahead by Andre Becka and that shot by stano who famously scored twice in that game against Canada in the quarterfinals has

It go off a stick and up it out of play Che has come out just a little bit crisper than fing to start this game get the one really good chance shal’s got it and a wide open net Koko comes flying out he misses it he could have just

Skated that into the empty net didn’t have to shoot it could have just stick handled it he El to try to elevate and it’s good that he could smile on that Miss he can’t believe [Applause] it last year’s bronze medal game was pretty entertaining an 87 shootout

Between the United States and Sweden a figurative shootout the game went to overtime and the US won it did not get to penalty shots misto winds in Tommy misto go back to college after this tournament playing at Michigan State University that’s bounce down and Toco makes the stop on

That so Patrick austa tries to get his team motivated but I think the return to form for CIA in general in this tournament is a welcome addition to the landscape of hockey for the better part of 15 years they weren’t near the top five countries fact that they’re getting

Back close to it again is a good sign for hockey in general that long point shot taken by alser is punched Away by Koko Koko started the first two games for the fins then sat the next three and then returned to the check lineup or the spin

Lineup rather yeah it’s it’s been a I mean the lost to Canada was okay it was he looked shaking the loss to Germany and that what caused him to to lose the net right but then when they get the elimination games they turn right back to him his replacement Noah Valley

Didn’t quite seize the moment too’s a Seattle second round pick the kaken of five players in the middle round of this tournament that long shot deflected wide you mentioned the check the program returning eight drafted on this check roster two first round picks as kupalina

Works in DRS in the high spot that shot fired wide by [Applause] Kumi Adams in lki Son of longtime in Mar lki got squeezed along the boards by calan now set back up by Jessie pin who has been a treat to watch all tournament long high risk High reward kind guy it is never dull with him on the

Ice no Karina moves out ahead that’s Swept Away by Robble y Lassa the captain plays that back to Vice long shot hit the leg in front and bounce wide Alice check up ahead for shaav valv for Kulik working with shet it’s fired back in by Sabula Kul we’ll go back to Rochester of

The American Hockey League when the tournament’s over made his NHL debut in November with the Buffalo Sabers he has been a prolific goal scorer in the American League for 2 years 40 goals at 85 AHL GES for teenag that is incredible production Sher Val trying to dig that

Free kuling knocks it down plays that back in a long shot taken there by check deflected wi in behind the goal is Cali Kangas face for yit in finland’s M or second league in yit returned to finish hockey after leaving the KHL but is not yet in the top finish League the

Showcase franchise in Helsinki and their Arena which is owned by a Russian has remained largely empty since the Russians invaded [Applause] Ukraine there is talk of a new arena being built in Helsinki for both IFK and yaret which would be completely underground okay okay talk to the folks

Out in Seattle to get one of those lower ground level ranks going pass has whistled wide by redle well the problem in Al sinki is there’s not a lot of available real estate in the in an old city like that but they would actually build it under where IFK helsinki’s current rank

Is I’m not an engineer that sounds hard well let’s see it’s a c Port made mostly of Rock yes I don’t think you have to be to figure out how difficult that might be F could go [Applause] wrong pump Along by alser no foul no

Foul back Cary that pass but off a skate and bounces back last year the fins did not win a medal at the Men’s World Championship the world junior or the under 18 first time since 2012 finish top three in at least one of those events won three gold medals the last 10

Years here as cooka gloves out and hangs on yeah that’s I mean that’s more a sign of a great run for Finland than it is a systemic problem although countries when they go through a drought like that which to them would feel like a Dro want to overreact but Last 5 Years they’

Picked up every kind of mental there is as well as a fourth and a fifth like for their country that that’s probably appropriate that’s good finishes it’s hard it’s hard to medal in these tournaments they’ve just been really good for a long time and it’s single elimination it’s really difficult to

Judge your program based on I mean last year they lost in the quarterfinals to Sweden they give up a short handed goal with a minute to go in the third period Zid litchi along the boards with it Kumi bomb out ahead and now brought up by Samu BAU up for kpan scored yesterday

Against the United States West Miss koal will go back to ashaa the OHL when he goes back 12 of these checks play in the Canadian hockey league as kopal walks in in fire scores kopan has goals in back-to-back games and the fins have a one- nothing [Applause]

Lead the Ling heating up at the end of the tournament pretty good offensive player playing for oswa in the OHL and a good for check pin the puck off the wall and then walks the seam little pick and unfortunately we have seen this before for Ravel he has been victimized on the

Glove side all tournament long and another one that doesn’t go above his glove but he’s misreading it off the stick he’s got his glove above where this Puck ends up going right underneath him and again he’s not particularly close to it when it goes by him and

Finland jumps out to the early lead so cple went ahead and scored didn’t have a point until that game yesterday you mentioned 14 goals in 27 games with the a general a second round pick of Minnesota hamah was blocked and moved up by Galas gas was added to the Czech

Roster when Ur got hurt a bit of a different roster alignment this year 20 skaters three they could not return so there were no healthy scratches some teams did keep extra players around like the checks and the BS so the United States and a per plays that back

In checks also lost Robin sapc in their last round robin game against the Swiss the alternative is if you’re like Canada you lose players you’re flying them over Canada didn’t bring extra players because they don’t want to hold out players from their major junior teams for a month and have them not

Play kasaki works it he shoots and tried rabble there just missed the numbers don’t lie love has been the spot to go on rabble Finley would know that that would be something in a PR Scout that they would be told Sweden knew it yesterday and they capitalized a couple times D plays that

Back and bl it looks ahead butar goes back and get blast into the end boards there by and now a chance for Newman shoot scor and Newman slides it by Robble two nothing to fins lead less than 8 minutes in keep an eye on the bench for Chuck I

Think that’s it we’re going to have a goal ending change for the checks who’s played every second of every game is going to get cold for Bas as Finland goes up too there’s all boy ping it in on the four check behind the net as he goes sometimes and cycle roll

Good job by henan turns it over and then kasaki finds Newman sliding in the hole that penet had vacated and he goes short side nice screen by helenius and Ravel can’t find it through the body he go short side post and in and after 7 Minutes 43 seconds two

Goals hell Ravel onto the bench and yakob vrash comes in plays for Sudbury of the ol he’s a Carolina sixth round pick he has not played a meaningful game in nearly a month as you mentioned prob played every game and that’s fired wide by manist so get in there and shut the Door brable by the way is 18 those will return next year for the checks he plays at UMass he’s having a pretty good year there but a tough last couple games for him no penalty coming going against the checks kesc drops it off to KY fires

That wide and here’s Newman back with it extra skaters on for the fins as KY bumps it around and finally touched up it with 1135 to go in the first period the fins have grabbed a two nothing lead and are going to the power play Finland up two nothing already and

Headed to the power play as check gets caught on the hold clearly Lo body position halted and keeps his feet moving takes him down and it’s been a tough start for CIA and you’re wondering can they come back from three down they’re getting to the point where

It’s it’s just about it and you know when you see the face of Hell gravel on the bench your your heart you know you you’re reminded how young these players are how much it means to them and you hate seeing somebody have a tournament end on a bad

Note who had an otherwise solid event five for 19 on the power play Casper hton leads away with a couple of Power Play Goals head back to Cari drops that back in the high slot poked ahead by Kasam makaki but fins Can’t Hold the Line Al not out there now for the

Kaki slopped down the ice by hamar and Halon it steps On Kari a minute to go on the power play Drops this off to hamah began the tournament getting robbed by canid rouso with a five star save that might still be to save of the tournament the first period of the first [Applause] Day back down to kinan kinan Works in feeds that down to Lilla the captain back to kasan Fe that back to Kumi for kasan back to Kumi across a hard shot there’s what honon does he ripped it on goal the save made by VRA Lilla back for kinan kept the line for

Here in the first period still to come tonight Sweden and the United States for the gold medal that is going to be an event here in dolberg it’ll be [Applause] spectacular noina Works in chips out towards the goal narina gets a shot away and knocked Away by

Teammates sced by to get off the ice stepped over it oh my now I don’t want to whistle I want to see how long this goes for that’s it comes you love chaos there it is get invol in the Poke Checker moves pass that stick and once again the checks head up

The ice helping their go tender and misto with the steel Works in misto great move got po Che the last second by alser Bow back on it f squeeze by Cary for it now red L with it V is yelling at his teammates finally somebody galvas comes on and hands it to

Him now kin shoots checks of the first three shots of this game they had nothing in the last 13 minutes KCK winds it and shoots and finally they get one and it’s turned away by Coco pins up two nothing come close to making a tree here in the first period

New goal in for the check yakob vres a Carolina sixth rounder from a couple years ago we’re introducing him because he hasn’t played a second prior to this he gets put in after the second goal and he gets absolutely peppered for about 10 minutes straight as it’s been all

Finland he made some saves he got some help from a crossbar and I guess he’s into the game Now off the draw cly plays that back for Galvis bin digging forward along the board h a late December birthday so not a return next year shaav valov tries to play that around next year tournament will be open to players born in 2005 or later Galvis plays that

Back now centered by pering and that bounced away so next year’s R Jun Mike will be 20 years after that Great Canadian team Crosby berser on Weber won the gold medal unless they were born in the first 5 days of 2005 no one playing in that tournament will have been born when that

Happened galvas works it in shoots that’s CL by Coco it goes quick yeah you tell me and you’re telling me and yet Sid is still playing yeah just made another All-Star Game announced yesterday and they would have watched you and listened to you and that game for years and have seen all the

Highlights of the last 20 years I mean it’s amazing what these familiarity Jeff Carter still playing Jeff Carter still playing yeah familiarity these these kids have with the history of this tournament even though they’re so young they they obviously wouldn’t remember some of these moments but they they are familiar with them

Everyone thought there was going to be a break there but by the way the United States announcing yesterday that the 50th world junior Championship will take place in St Paul in Minneapolis Minnesota at Exile Energy Center in St Paul and Mari aren the home of the Minnesota Golden golfers of the NCAA

Which is a fantastic rank as well never been played there in college actually how’d you do we lost to Minnesota ran bonnin and Mike Crowley ate us up they were very good college players both of them but it was a fun ring so were you I was good too but yeah

Not as good as those guys not in that game anyways that would be great it’s a obviously a hockey hot bed in the United States M next year’s an Ottawa in the US and then Canada’s got it back in 27 location yet to be announced and quite luy Finland in 28 has been

Decided yet but look like it’s heading to Finland in [Applause] 28 penalty coming Newman goes back and the checks will get a power play thanks to a late tripping call against Finland with 351 to go in the first cheze trying to get back into the game where they been dominated in the

First period go to a late power play P andami gets his stick caught up in the legs of bodish and takes him down in a power play has been pretty good 38% yeah on the tournament goes to work and they could Salvage this period which has not

Been good with a goal here shaav valov who’s other take the face off leads the checks with two Power Play Goals back sharp shot co scores and there’s what he does youve talked about it off the top of the show cooling a one timer and 8 Seconds into the power play

The checks are back within one exactly what they needed and maybe the guy they needed to do it again kulak off and running if you’ve read the sched report against CIA you have to take the scene pass away you’ve got to make it go up and over you can’t let that one go

Through now that’s a really really good pass moski who’s got a point in every game slides it through but and a tremendous shot short side right along post get above the pad but you can’t let that puck go through in the ice if it’s going to try to go through there you

Have to make it be a sauce you got to try to make it harder than that poor read by the PK on Finland and kulak makes them pay quickly so Yuri kulak has his fifth of the tournament that’s his 14th in 23 games in three worldy Juniors

I’m in the alltime ranks for che yeah 15 goals in 21 games this year in the American Hockey League for Rochester the first round pick of the Sabers in 2022 they got that pick from Florida as part of the Sam Reinhardt [Applause] Deal the side of the go that’s shoveled Away by Coco so despite being outplayed badly here the checks are right back at it [Applause] shalet moves out ahead for rley repl place for S Talia here in Sweden only five of the checks play in check mov up across the line for hton

The plays offside L the play pulin has got some stick tie up his equipment so the captain gets the goal get checky back into it doing what he does but the very next shift he gets bumped into sort of innocently by Visto and maybe charlie horses kneeon knee oh there you go like

A little kneeon knee little tweak ouch young players though they’re very limp but expect him to be [Applause] okay it always brings the question when someone who’s a little nicked up went to the NHL team their Club teams step and say hang on maybe he doesn’t play

Anymore mve back to check with a shot to deflex over the glass it out staying on the bench doesn’t look to be in too much discomfort and here’s the alltime goal list including Czechoslovakia which you know had some pretty prolific teams so one more to catch Michael

Banka three times through and he’s been more than a point game player in every single World Junior tournament he’s played even two years ago in his first attempt B rki by the way second all time in goals of the world junior traing only Pavo bur who scored 27 in 21

Game off the draw that’s Hammer towards the golden dribbles [Applause] wide Marcus Asin third Alexander mcgil fourth Conor Bard played a couple more he might have been able to push that number 100% that was a different those records were set when the tournament was a straight round robin you

Played the other seven you play the other seven teams once each the best record somehow that feels like it would be easier to pile up points cuz you wouldn’t play the good teams a second time right and you’d also get you know I mean for example nasman played a game

Against Japan so I mean it’s Marcus nasman at for Miller no I’m just saying Mark was a good Marcus was a great player absolutely you get France and you get Japan and these kind of tournaments where you put up 10 15 18 goals and the other thing is for a long

Time the tournament had a format where the top team in each group got a buy so some so top teams only played six games OPP to seven so okay 27 and 21 for buray is a great number Pon goes back being watched by shalet and Pen pokes out ahead for

Newman Yanni Newman a Seattle second round pick has impressed in this tournament I’ve liked his game he’s been good he looks like a pro doesn’t he he looks might have to skate a little bit lighter on the ice but other than that and he comes and shoots that’s knocked Away by

Bon final minute now of the period gvis dropped eligible plays that ahead for shalet and Rink White he goes for Kulik back out there for the checks still kind of liping notice as he goes off he looks a little temper gaves the ice tweak there he doesn’t want to

Leave the game he get checked out in intermission a better sense of where he’s at casin chips that back then yumy HS ahead to mano he into p and galvas has it back as the time winds down here in the period train wreck at Cent r with a KN

Still got tangled up there with redlake and time expires here in the opening period I know redley has shaken up fins had their way in the early going scored twice but the checks the late power play goal have drawn back within one it’s the bronze medal game of the 2024 World

Junior Hockey Championship our first intermission is coming right Up two quick goals a minute and a half apart gave the fins a two- nothing lead chased mial Robble from the check goal but Yuri Kula comes back late in the period of the power play goal it’s a 2-1 game after 20 minutes back with Mike Johnson a one

Goal game the shots were even it doesn’t feel like that though does it no and I think if fin looks back and they don’t win the bronze medal in this game they will uh they will regret the 10-minute Mark when they got Grabel out of the net

They got Von Dr and they had the puck in the offensive zone the entire time and had several good looks and were unable to push it to a 3 nothing lead which almost would have felt like ball game and vandr settled things in net got a couple breaks a couple missed

Opportunities and then this power play goal late you’re exactly right czechia will be delighted to only be down one after that period and Finland would almost be disappointed right to not be further in front and More in control and good news for czechia as Co we saw him

Favoring his leg at the end of the first period he’s out to start the second 13 1 12 minutes without a shot for the checks at one point in that period but then Kulik comes out with a lightning strike to cut the lead to one sometimes you need guys who can shoot

The puck past the goalie I mean really no it’s true and it’s a unique skill he has [Applause] lassila plays out ahead that hard sh and no Karan kcks off the post and goes up and out of play s going to try to turn it back around in the start the period and

Kulak would have got checked over you know when you get a kind of bump like that generally you probably drop the shin pad the doctor would come in check out your knee make sure it’s moving everything’s okay it’s a bruise whatever they’re at no further risk to injure

Yourself if that’s the case he get to go back out and play again his last World Junior game for czechia might see for the world championship in frog in May you know what that’s a very good point he’s certainly capable enough and you don’t know when the Savers are not going to

Make the playoffs Rochester I’m not sure what they’re going to end up doing but he should be available and if he is he’s very likely going to be there and under the agreement if your NHL team is out the world Championship takes precedence over the American League over the HL

Playoffs so if you if you want to go P shoot he hammered that high correct p in I like it being very liberal with the icing calls or waving them off here all turnament long that puck was near nobody wave it off you want more icing no I’m I’m okay

With it just just check internationally usually it’s the tightest of standards for ricing and this tournament seems gone the other way bares moves in he got bumped off the top line for this game here’s bades back to check Al plays it across but the puck got away from

Soka who is SCS in backto back games and important ones against Canada and Sweden Kumi drops it off and a shot by hel is kicked out by Von centering pass Newman with a point blank shot two ax at the rebound and vonr turns those away now helenius pivots back B to

Helenius O to dropped Prospect plays that for Newman and he stopped again Point flank by VRA Newman fires again he hammered that line that might be the world junior record for scoring chances in 20 seconds just got four shots on net the process looking credit for [Applause] one

Ando pumped hard by Soka but stays on it plays that back for S but that pass draws pmia and now bares with a Chance plays it back across and that’s centering pass for B skipped [Applause] away foco Rings it back around that’s knocked down played back in by [Applause] stanson cvis moves

Up and kesin took that away from him R kesin and the footsteps of his uncle Essa who is one of finland’s top alltime Point gets at the world junior Championship he second overall on their W right back in the 1985 tournament W Clark that CID to a gold

Medal in Helsinki as a defenseman both Swingman played defense and forward in that tournament and scored the goal on Dominic hashek in the third period that clinch the tie and that cinched the gold medal for Canada in the old round round robin forat Barky bar was a defenseman for the sason

Blades the head coach Dave King wanted to play the wing as well so as Gary Roberts points out he was cut from that team to make room for a guy who’ never played the position well they both end up be pretty good Pros the old format was interesting I

Mean it you didn’t get a true gold medal game every once in a while you get you know the last game were decided like you did in sason in ‘ 91 but every game was so big because one loss could not get a gold medal potenti and you doose control

Of your own destiny right there’s KY winding in KY spins and shoots and the stop made by [Applause] Von fin comes right back out in the offense Zone and Newman who has been really good this tournament gets several looks he’s trying to pull this Puck glove side upstairs first one didn’t get

All the way up second one didn’t get it all the way up it’s the exact same shot from the exact same spot and he’s not pleased with that there’s room over the glove of V who as an adjustment does catch the wrong way with his right hand course his traditional

Left hand it’s not the wrong way it’s the other way the most the most golender employ about 10% of goalies catch right-handed you insist on calling it wrong even though your father I believe is left handed not that is correct good yes yeah so really don’t to tell your

Dad he writes with his wrong Hand if he was playing goalie I would so ster it is unusual though I mean 20% of the population roughly is is Left-Handed you got to power up between games in middle of game sometimes just sing just have it a banana just killing it between shifts I don’t know I mean I’ve seen

Like tennis players do it I’ve seen protein bars sometimes but I’m just saying intermission was 3 minutes ago you could have had all the bananas you wanted maybe forgot did you get a hankering in the last three minutes H I’m hungry or I’m cramping up or whatever that is

Unusual moves up lays that back in the [Applause] corner Newman sends it back in front just for that pass ping it back to helenus H wide by Newman Danny Newman plays for ilis T it kasaki sends it back in front Helen is look back for Newman that pass skipped away

From him and Newman throws it back kasaki work that back at the point Ki a long shot that’s by V and Kulik is into it with Kumi K has been a little bit stronger physically look at that reverse hit hamaki straightens up his check knocks him right down Hamra to create a little

Chaos down in the front of the net shots are seven nothing Finland here in the second period but it remains a 2-1 game andr give him credit he stepped in his and Rock Solid came in Co we mentioned he had not played a meaningful game since he left Sudbury in early

December right you think about that it’s a month since he’s played a a a pressure packed game would have played in the pre-tournament for the checks but JS right into a metal game long shot handled as that was taken by matus milowski who is quietly as you

Mentioned at a point in every game for Czech he’s a distributor we heard from him between periods and recognizing that Chucky didn’t play well to start the game they got the power play goal but they need to skate they need to make plays get on their toes which they

Really haven’t to start this period either we’ll go back too of the Quebec Maritime Junior Hockey League I think are the number one ranked team in the CHL right [Applause] now beautiful part [Applause] ofce was hammered there by yaka Hoyer who dresses for games but rarely plays hoyer’s on the ice

Yes that is noteworthy because he has had multiple games where he hasn’t seen one shift he was a decoy just sat in the bench dressed yeah sa could not being that guy he plays a lot important defenseman for CIA oh we got some issues with the glass here stanson

Fell off stanson binder fell off you know what credit to the ice crew here I haven’t had heard any complaints haven’t seen anything noteworthy they playing two games basically every day three on was that Tuesday yeah it’s an older building but it got cold here the last few days that really

Helped not those of us have been walking a little bit but yeah it’s a it turned acidly cold here the last few days which has helped the ice a lot to mention this building doesn’t have the the outer ring around the pool like most new buildings do to keep the cold

In it’s a nice building though SOA play it back across check shoots they keep talking about a new one here just never happen better for the hockey would be if the fans were right on the glass yes oh oh he thought about it about it yeah M was looking at the Michigan or

The spatula as you call it when you scoop it Mike leg does get enough credit for it calling at the Michigan is an insult to Mike leg who was the guy that did it at Michigan when I was in school playing against leer in comes Mano bres it back over

B was knocked Away by [Applause] be head up there good stel collides there with p yimi and now brought out by AO Sal fifth round pick mov to the head for cost back at the point here Yim moves that back across and Koopa lining can’t hold it for the

Fin you have had multiple chances in this game but haven’t been able to get that third one 21 the score here in the second period of the bronze medal game in gothenberg things about this world junior Championship has been the ice crew it’s comprised of young players from

Gothenburg under 16 and under 14 teams got a chance to be part of the world junior Championship make sure our net cams are nice and tidy and they also get changed in our hallway get their skates on and stuff and so we see how they get

Fueled for their time on the ice and yes it’s a bushel bananas that you oh you can’t do this that you have maybe made a withdrawal or two from to help you power up through the long days I can’t believe he just busted you like that you take the bananas I take the

Chocolate bars no you don’t uh I might of you know there’s a large Bunch there not e them all so not they’re need go not easy to find it’s a specialty oh CH dump there by Sal it’s going to be a penalty to Finland interference perhaps well penalty tell the fins as

Hamah touches up they’re going to call interference on Salin tobius Bjork makes the call [Applause] Team fer number three 2 minutes interference well that’s because shaav OLV never touched the puck right Puck was in behind him he was looking for it and Talon elected to finish his check anyways well and this is how the checks got back in the game the power play goal

By kulich who came just second into their first power play so what have we learned Gord about the check power play if you’re going to kill penalties for Finland is this going to be on the test it’s got well if penalties going be a better be don’t give up the seam pass

For the one time to that’s it if he’s going to shoot it make it go up and around the umbrella don’t let it go through through is trouble you’re ready to coach the power play or the penalty kill shavala for the face off against b a game that has been very onesided

Trip the territorial play for the fifth but remains a one goal gain back at the point ham beat the the cross milowski has a look and shoot a stop made by cooko the rebound sent down the ice by B every now and then when a penalty kill

Knows you want to get it to one player somebody else has to take a shot just to soften out keep the peak the penalty Killers honest that was the story in Washington for a long time right TJ ooshi John Carlson for all legit threats KCK back for Hammer Kul on the this side

Of the ice now try to play back for Hammer get tied up there by lassila and lassila chips it out no Karina they both go hard in the corner and they both get up be winds in drops it back in comes stanel the shot scores it’s dribble to coko that gave his Tie two power power play goal for the checks and it’s a two2 game statel takes the bad Rush opportunity crazy collision here lamara that’s for go down so now it’s a four on three clean four on three length of the ice and Finland just backs up couple crisscrosses and drops and Kangas ends

Up sitting in the lap of Koko and stanel Alexa shoot this one gets it under the glove of the goenda last goal was the one with 11 seconds left against Canada went off the skate off the posted in so now it’s a 22 game here in the second period goo is quite

Demonstrative yes when he lets a goal in we see just slam his Blocker on the top of the net and frustration plays it back across For here’s Newman with it now Newman walks out of the corner feeds it back on shoot scores and just like that the fins retain the lead 15 seconds after the checks at tied it and PSTA helenus has his first goal of the world junor it’s a tidy finish from a tight

Angle but it really made by Newman who able to walk out of the corner shed his check three Bill gets roasted he’s coming in a finish here he goes flying right by and now it’s a quick two onone nice pass and that’s a tight angle didn’t get a bank or anything he

Just slipped it off the far post really nice play by Newman who has been excellent in this game to restore the lead for Finland UK or plays for uket not yuret but uket in the finished top leag nice for him to grab a goal kind of of a

Him but he gets it just on the tip of his blade and slings it in the empty net to restore the two goal lead so much for the comeback 20 seconds and the their back up by [Applause] two the checks it took two uppercuts seconds apart although here judging on the flow of the game they probably should be a two goal Advantage for Fin by the way mentioned that cona helenus plays for yuk in The Finnish SM League of the top League his coach there oie yoken who is getting Brave reviews as a future high-end coach yeah saula long tuck kicked away course has lots of experience in North America as Soka sends out aead got

Way Way north of here it was a quick strike sequence in the second period cheia ties it up but right after that really comes back lenus gets his first and then a beautiful feet to hamah Resto the two lead that CIA had eliminated with two Power Play

Goals and all the big guys are getting it done in this game yeah good to see last year’s bronze penal game went to overtime the US won it 8 to7 it was a crazy game that Americans took a 76 lead about a minute and a half ago the

Seds tied it with about 30 seconds ago and the Americans W it overtime chipped ahead by Amo but H back to pick it up back is p rever up for kiir plays a Michigan Michigan Tech rather in the NCAA as that knock down schanel forki shoots cooko the

Stop couple American players they call hockey and he goes at Michigan State amazing they could playing college hockey hard enough on its own athletically let alone dealing with academics of a different [Applause] language not not not the academics in English trying to do the academics in

When you’re finished I was going to say that’s the hard part [Applause] yeah there’s a penalty call here at Cent R but tobius Bor it’s going against czechia stanel is going off box judging by the broken box don’t just trying to go the wrong yeah so why you

Open the door then if number 21 minor penalty illegal equipment playing with a broken stick play with a broken stick power play that’s an unusual call because as soon as it’s broken it’s almost instinctive to drop it St 21 you see he his stick was broken and he hit the guy

He made a play with the with the stick broken there’s his stick broken ah now he would argue I didn’t know the stick was broken cuz it was still in one piece he might not win the argument but that make the argument that argument would fall flat for me I just think that

[Applause] would F over for one on the power play chance to extend their lead inside six to go here in the second Cas it plays that back but it draws Kumi out he’s the quarterback on this finished power play which now 5 for 20 in the tournament later tonight we’ll see two

Of the very best power plays in the event seds and United States have changed games with their power play raho works in great move walks right in back h on scor rny hamahu does it himself 12 and the fins lead by three that’s one of the best goals we’ve seen all tournament

Aaho you’re right all by himself he takes the pass on the wing cross and drop off he goes and he goes right through the feet of Hamra and then takes it to the back door himself generates speed it’s going to be a good hard pass to catch Bish Hamra trying to play

Defense skating forward never a great idea because lots of seems to get it through and once it’s through he’s gone now how how could either look to pass this cuz casin in’s right there but with that speed vres is stuck in mud takes the far post easy finish great goal hanaho

Second round pick up New Jersey had all kinds of chances in the early part of the tournament memory was robbed twice by atis goer in the first game didn’t scored on the fourth game against the sweds which defends 54 and a shootout this tournament ending stat line will be appropriate with how

Well he’s played as he’s ped up the points the last Games F have the lead against the United States yesterday led to nothing it was tied to two in the third had a great chance late Newman had a terrific opportunity was kicked up by American go CER Trey Augustin but now they’re bouncing back here in the bronze

Medal game mhm he is here is thato is not supposed to be able to get that puck so clean the B she was supposed to be flared out earlier to discourage the pass but just a really well executed neutral zone play and then individual effort good pass by Ki too yeah snap it

Hard and flat to get it to him off the draw Newman shot was block Lam is down that might have hit in the back the thanks for winning it [Applause] centerman there’s cck Alice check that back down is picked off with the lead pass goes to

Kasaki three kasaki one of the seven St Louis Blues draft picks we played in this tournament Doug Armstrong was looking on with great interest throughout the weeks VI the vion steps out scored its last three shots mov backward knocked wide by galvas stanel back on it four to go in the second period

Helenus from Pas macki back for helenas he’s tied up at Center Ice by P be moves in shoots about that high and it bounces off the glass up and out of play 336 to go here in the second period it’s a 52 lead for Finland in the bronze

Medal game in go a good night offensively for a lot of players but Lenny hamah has been as good as it comes for Finland couple goals in the second period now with four in the tournament six points in seven games and and a beauty I imagine that Jersey has liked

What they have seen from him in this [Applause] tournament second round pick lot of second round picks [Applause] play some like Patrice berser over sha Weber really play Ryan O’Reilly yeah long list of [Applause] them moved in by Bales through that wide of the goal and Lassa brings it back out for the

Fins three to go in the second period still to come tonight the gold medal game between Sweden and the United States and judging by the Swedish fans filing in I think we’re in for a yellow and blue cauldron tonight that goes into the Finish bench I would be disappointed

If that wasn’t the case it’s going to be loud and noisy and passionate sweds hosted the gold medal game 10 years ago and Malmo lost in overtime to Finland just the second alltime gold medal game between the sweds and the United States the Americans won in 2013 and Ufa Russia feels appropriate though

These are the two best teams in the tournament to this point going head tohe head they’ve played previously at 8 championships in the final yeah the last two and they’ve been hotly [Applause] contested R it now by kulick kulick drops it back and cck back on it Alice check cross for

Soka check two goals have been scored on the power play 515 this game has been very much in control by [Applause] fin it was a tough start to their tournament after the back-to- back losses to Canada in Germany that pack came up and hit Halton in the

Face Halton and goes down in the Heap he got something up the puck caught him or a stick on a follow through thought the puck got chopped up into a glove Off the Bench but Halton clearly clipped on something and not quick to get back up

Al number 22 oh oh he just oh he accidentally skates right into shop of oliv shoulder and it’s when you’re not braced and you kind of slack and oh wow picked him right on the totally incidental totally accidental wasn’t even looking no both of them were

Looking at the puck but watch his head toward a that’s a it’s a big Collision completely by accident now the officials are conferring here I mean it is head contacts it wasn’t looking head contacts illegal whether you’re looking at the person or not well except except you have to actually

Initiate contact like I mean I would never call this a penalty like two guys were just getting up the ice they bumped into each other while they looked for a puck it got awkward but you see look sh of all his eyes he’s just he’s actually slides to get out of

The way a little bit and Halton turns right into him czechia 24 is being assessed a major penalty play will be under review so they don’t worry about whether they initiated or saw him or whether halted and turned into him it’s they just care about the head

Contact which is illegal and if like that’s a 5 minute level of head contact that resulted in a completely from a completely accident Collision was explaining to him I was just skating up the ice he he’s not even looking at I it’s it’s almost hard like

How can you blame sha Bala for this he’s just skating up completely in a non-aggressive stance his legs are straight he’s standing upright is that a penalty I don’t think it’s a penalty no but it in this here it is I don’t I don’t I disagree I I disagree you have

To initiate contact for it to be I mean I don’t think Sha of valv did if you skate into him I guess you could say he’s moving forward into Halton but I mean Halton get into him yeah I’m with you for sure now we’ll see I mean they could take that and if

Your perspective is correct they’ll take this down to nothing right to me this is a five or it’s nothing and and the determination really I suppose is intent as they’re watching it we watch them watch the video Murray the two referees I mean I don’t even think

Finland would suggest for a second that shop of olive intended to do that it was clearly 100% accidental Alon staying on the bench which is a good Sign but to me this this this feels like a rule application not really so much one of intent I guess cuz when I watch it and you watch the play Real Time replay the intent is clearly not there for shaav valv yeah but I mean I I I guess if you think shaav valov I mean people Collide all the time by accident and hit the head it’s not a

Penalty I like the DJ very much what’s going on yeah time to make it a call boys time to make a call you’ve seen every angle now I mean I you’re not learning anything else and only flesh it out so long halon’s okay that’s very good news

Staying on the bench probably have a bit of a sore neck tomorrow hopefully from the weight of the medal he’s trying to win he’s going to wear all night more looks at it Shalo skating up the ice Halton it turns into him he Clips his head absolutely accidentally so

Like to your point shaa Val have even tried to get out of the way no he slid a little bit and he his his body was slack because he was not trying to create a bigger Collision this is a perplexing one all right so Troy Murray from Regina will give us the

Call after review the play is being reduced to a minor penalty for checking to the Head so is that the is that the middle ground where saying we’re acknowledging it was an accident but it happened so that’s worth a minor that’s how I have to interpret it yeah I guess

But there’s juss yinan in behind the assistant coach one of the assistant coaches for Finland we’re back on the power play here in a 5-2 game as Patrick austa did not like that call fins are one for two on the power play Kaho scored on last one on a great individual Effort Newman plays that back to Cary helenus to Newman karaki helenus centers and a hard shot by kasaki kicked out there by [Applause] Von Newman plays it back across Center to line the shot bunker save rebound and to the line of reaching for that now banked by Cary and back down the ice

Helenus up for kasaki he pivots back Kari with it to helenius swings it back to KAS macki great pass across but too far for Newman and kasaki feeds across it’s a hard shot that was blocked in front by [Applause] peks caught by stanzel and a lead pass shorthanded Break by

Scored Andre bear of the Prince George cougars gets cheze back within two with a short-handed goal cck’s first out the tournament got to take a good long look at this for offside oh boy as fer snuck in behind the the play was deflected and couple things to remember you can go

Through the backwards if you have control of it you can go through your skate in the air we need a no under Escape and and for the record a puck on your skate is fully in control make no mistake about it soon as it touches his skate he has control of

It oh goodness but he has to touch it he can’t just be hovering above it he has to touch it the fins were all gathered around the monitor at the end of their bench staring at replays of it cuz it looked like for a second he might have

Been hovering above it without touching it that’s really close but it’s going to stand [Applause] so it’s 53 another two goal lead cheia will not go [Applause] away resilience get down in a bronze medal game that can be Disheartening what a play byar who scores his first of the World Junior 30 seconds to go in the period time winding down in this finished power play kesin slides that back pumi back for kesin here’s kesin works it back to Kumi Al all teed

Up for the one time on the other side as chapal steps back on Two Shots on that power play as last Moves In and the stop made Point Blank by vondra and time expires here at the end of the second period and now pushing and shoving as aler gets into

It he’s involved with [Laughter] Halon little little charades there I like it sh of oliv and Halton who just collided with each other prior To 53 the score in favor of Finland after two periods at the bronze medal game of the 2024 World Junior Hockey Championship our second admission is coming up and the gold medal game is still [Applause] [Applause] Ahead aling your team able to put up three goals in that period Al low what did you like about that second period performance yeah I think it was good good period for us uh last two games we we wasn’t so good in the second period

So uh I’m happy that we were better now sure you’re also happy of two goals so far in this game so what’s been working for you here in this bronze medal matchup yeah I think I got in the first good uh first goal good pass and and

Yeah uh just wind in this is your second world juniors an opportunity to win a medal what would that mean to you it would mean uh lot of course uh this tough tournament and uh good guys to play with here so it would be great to get a midal from here appreciate it

Lenny good luck thank you back with Cheryl pounder and Bob Mackenzie I’m not sure a bad goal against can never qualify as a TSN Turning Point copyright but in this case maybe it did maybe it woke Finland up because 34 within 34 seconds after giving up that bad goal they scored two

To take control of the game how well it’s about changing momentum and finding ways to do it and that’s exactly what Finland did and and it came because they were hard on the puck and it was the second player in was the next closes for

Them and when you do that you’re able to retrieve the puck and that’s exactly what happens they’re here along the wall and they get closed quickly but you can see the Yanni Newman just pounce on that puck so what’s going to happen is now he’s going to draw coverage you can see

Helenius just w Rec iiz I can lose coverage get in the back door with that low two onone just being that second player in again in the neutral zone you got everyone back now you push checka back that’s where the turnover is guess what second player pounces on the puck

The delay creates space now all of a sudden you’ve got some net drive through the middle of the ice that backs everyone up and the defender there koni makes a brilliant play coming down the middle of the ice draws a stick and then just puts it on hino’s stick for his

First of the game of course he would get a second so cze is desperate to get back in the game game at 5 to2 and they get that penalty now they ended up scoring short-handed and no damage from the Finish side but Bob look we’ve always uh applauded efforts to reduce head shots

And head contact and dangerous hits in hockey but I I don’t understand gour always says there’s no legal check to the head but I don’t understand how you can look at this for 5 minutes the Finish player goes right into his way that that’s not a check that’s just a

Guy stepping into your way how how do you call that a penalty after at it 18 times well I guess they look at it and say sap of all off number 24 for the checks is in the field of vision where he had it he had the opportunity to see

Something coming his way and there’s no chance for Halton and to avoid the Collision call it what you want so Croy Murray number 15 the referee from Regina he made a call to reduce the 5-minute major to a 2-minute minor and at the end

Of the day I guess what it is is double IHF has that standard that we talk about any hit to the head is an illegal hit to the Head basically and so they decided to go that route um the hit reminds me very similar to David stle hit on Sydney

Crosby in the Winter Classic right way back when Washington Pittsburgh stle by the way wasn’t penalized wasn’t suspended on that hit much of the shagrin of many Pittsburgh fans who thought it was intentional most other people saw it the other way and I think you’re right I saw it as a collision um

And I don’t know if you ever want to read in more I I wouldn’t even think of this but I just did the fact that sap sapalo um plays for the Shag Spirit of the Midwest Division of the OHL and Halton and plays for the London Knights

They see each other a lot but I honestly it looked like a collision to me well we’ve seen ones like that where you could you know judging by the person who does it sometimes you think it’s accidentally on purpose that wasn’t the case there I just don’t know what he’s

Supposed to do but either way they get a short-handed goal and they’re still in this one through two periods of play 20 minutes left to go and then a little more time and the one we’ve been waiting for all day long USA Sweden the two pre-tournament favorites live up to the billing and

We’ll play for gold we preview that Next a busy second Purge stel drew the checks back within two quick goals for the fins and Mano then strikes on the power play with a great solo Dash but Andre bear shorthanded the first had a goal scored here at Scandinavian in the tournament and it’s 53 the fins leading

After two perod in play took a while for the fins to get going in this tournament they gave up their first loss ever to Germany at the world junior Championship but they’re really rolling now yeah they’re playing very well and sometimes it’s as simple as who’s winning the

One-on-one battles like that’s what it comes down to to create your offense for Finland they’ve done a really good job of winning Puck battles off the wall and getting to mly ice they’re beating the checks physically and they’re beating them with their skates and when they win the these battles they’re getting them

To scoring opportunities and they’re making the most of them so cheze will only have themselves to look at saying we need to be better in those areas to try to limit what Finland can do to try to stay in this game but it’s been really impressive just good hard board

Work and some skill play to get Finland their opportunities and one more I mean h wasn’t quite on the boards but he got beat anyways and finin has shown their quality through two periods take we start the third period five on five with the fins leading by

Two seeing a third medal in the last four years fins have three gold medals in the last 10 they won that 2014 tournament in Malmo Sweden with the overtime goal by rosmus Reese binan then 2016 at home in Helsinki another Golden Goal Casper kaan and in 2019 in Vancouver with a last

Minute goal by Papo Taco against the United States with the seconds remaining regulations they have a flare for the dramatic with the fs they’re hoping they don’t need it tonight Cru on through the third period and you’re right I think that shorty though by Czech keeps them engaged in this game as as

Possible first go medal came in 1987 when Canada and Russia got kicked [Applause] out Amo blocked that shot and that broke the Stick of sabok I would have thought it broke hanaho stick but soka’s blew up on him check drops it down it Longs up by

Sh is glove by Coco pins one in 1998 on home ICE Nicholas Hagman Golden Goal nice yeah great names from this tournament in the past and it would be a challenge for cze you’re right you know your bronze medal game your down a few goals the end of your tournament you’re fac the

Prospect of maybe going home empty-handed when you’ve been so close in so many of these games and we’ll see if they’re able to Rally with enough energy to push in the third period he have 14 shots so far in the game checks were backto back gold medalists in 2000 and

2001 also the world champions in those years and the reigning Olympic men’s champions one stars back then was pav Bren one in 200201 the 2000 tournament was here in Sweden in schio which is a few hours north of here and the gold medal game Mike was one of the worst hockey games

Ever played wait a second it was terrible why it was scoreless through three periods and overtime they went to a shootout and I swear they were dumping it in during the shootout it was is horrific oh some studing for a gold medal game yeah it’s the checks against the

Russians I think Serge bosski was the goalie for the Russians in that game well thank goodness the game is not played or coached that way anymore so many of the teams European ones I see Patrick austa they don’t play the same lock down defense only system that we

Saw CIA really play with at the turn of the century those 2,000 teams they just played all defense it’s not how hockey is anymore which is good yeah it was bris Gall off a br he’s being paid till 2028 by the Flyers tell me if that’s what he’s doing he’s he’s playing for

The Flyers Sun’s quite a good player defense I think that long shot knocked away and stel puts that wide Three Special Teams goals for the checks two power play one short-handed that’s bump ahead for p who has the short-handed goal it’s knocked across and taken back by Kelly Kang

Pittsburgh seventh round pick that plays OB side touched up by Remar misto a surprising top three player selection for Finland at the start of the tournament Tommy misto who plays for Michigan State a freshman there yeah was the 13th forward he was not on a forward line he was in the

Games but he was not playing and because of his quality plays moved up the lineup and picked as one of the top three players from Finland amazing how often that [Applause] happens going to be a bit part turns into a pretty important one kaper works in now for Finland pivots back in the

Corner and Kap pery lays that back in deep for koopal KS it back and shalet try to post that ahead sh a return next year as a Seattle first round pick 24 overall in the last NHL draft really boosted his stock at the helik grety cup the summer of 22 and Red [Applause]

Deer the tournament returning to Alberta in this summer of 2024 and the coverage of the pwl continues Monday Ottawa against Boston coverage starts at 6 Eastern 3 Pacific on TSN let’s see some of these American teams host been a looking forward to seeing that big hit we’ll be back in time for

That Toronto WWA Minnesota playing in the XL you just saw Adam zidi the 18-year-old I did not look like that when I was 18 I still Don’t mer was a really good NH defenseman out taken down play continues the checks are giving it to referee tobius Bor about that at first blush if that was going to be a call that was going to be a call and a dive Alice Czech winds

Ahead in comes Czech tries to bank that around and AO back to pick it up we talked about this before the team that wins this game and the players that win this game will be happier winning a bronze that’s a that was a nasty Collision Maki took down Bish almost

Like a wicked Slew Foot there’s no penalty being indicated it’s been an eventful shift of barish hope he’s okay ASI over for Award with kasaki they got a a chat about this one here’s the first non call bars is looking to take off stick tank up koni

You can call that a hold if you want but he also could call a dive for going down that way but this one’s much more dangerous that well not that one that one could have been a call they let it go as well but here it is gets both his

Feet off the ground you go down and you hit your head that is dangerous officials are talking but doesn’t appear to be a penalty called Troy Murray of Canada tobius Bor of Sweden you need to see where’s the puck does he have it on his stick he does not

That’s first of all that’s interference cuz he doesn’t have the puck right and that’s a slooh foot that left leg coming through in behind that is a slle foot and it’s interference he is so fortunate if he catches his right foot or on the ice he breaks his ankle or he

Bangs his head this should be five this should be five in a game of all the plays that players hate slle footing is the one right that drives them more nuts than any you can hear it in my voice it is it is sloping around the boards is a

Bit different cuz sometimes you pin in you know your body part but in open Ice like that it is so dangerous kasaki is being sent to the Penalty Box here’s the call from Troy Murray Finland 24 minor penalty interference so they just called the bump but they don’t call no what was bad

Was your kick of the inter the interference penalty yeah I I disagree the left leg was moving enough for me to Warrant that being interpreted as a slle and you know what mik is saying what about the trip absolutely probably could have been probably should have been a penalty right before

That all right so the checks are back on the power play where they’ve scored twice in a chance to get back within one I thought this would be an uneventful third period I thought the checks might not have it in them and it would just grind to an

End oh look now two for two at the power play and a chance here now and you think this power play should be longer yes I Do C for the face off against shaav valov shaav valov wins that back and the hard shot ticket there by milowski was blocked H for milowski onetime scores from distance this time and look out the checks are back within one you want to know how he

Scores that’s how he scores that took 12 seconds on the power play the other one of eight that is obscenely good half slapper little back swing kicks it right to the top Bo what we not going to let have happen go seam pass there’s a seam

Pass and man does he just place it moski picks up another assist we see how he’s getting them Lassa gets caught lassala thinks that Kulik is down on the face off dock he’s got a stick protecting a plane that nobody is standing in and that opens up the seam and the second for

Kulik and we have ourselves a Game 15 goals in 23 games for K in three World Juniors for check there’s a long shot Coco love that as that was taken by hmer with that goal would he time banka for fourth all time on the goal scoring list for this tournament and it’s all about movement finding the spot where

You can score from and that is open I mean the club head speed flying through that puck is something to behold and he catches it clean technology induced elevation drops to a knee that’s that is a goal score shot which is what he does aler shot that’s deflected wide by stansel

54 15 to go here B hard work that three the fins are holler for a penalty there poan back with it up for noina Johnny noina he works in knocked down by ham every time someone hits the ice now the bches are calling for a penalty which which is a function of

Human nature probably Mak it makes it less likely they’re going to get the call FY referees hate that yes [Applause] you never did that refs actually quite like every referee have ever come into contact with since you retired said you were always very calm very logical Newman centers it it’s tip wi by

Kasaki that long shot by Kangas almost snuck through on vandr came into the game early in the first per up the F taking a quick two nothing lead back goes Cary and zki closes on him the pass is picked off by meowski back out as zit looks back in front for milowski and

That pass was knocked Away by Kari aloka great move on kasaki feeds that back for barish barish Long Shot way widen off the glass [Applause] a second ever bronze medal game between Finland and czechia the only other one was 20 years ago in Helsinki later that day the United

States won its first ever gold medal game beating Canada hook ahead now for manista on the place offside at the cck Blue Line the Captain N KCK has struck again the Buffalo first rounder has CIA back within one do the same on the power play one

Two those are not the same goal although they look very similar and see what he’s got now 15 career World Junior goals and that’s tied forth with some pretty Exclusive Company yeah vad rija their alltime leader came over play in North America Edmonson and Boston primarily that Rosie yeah really

Good player who’s later in his career unfortunately his English teacher in Ed was Kevin MCL he call him all the bad words first which was kind of the point I guess he’s going on to be a long time coach in the check extra and a pretty Fierce one

Too shapovalov picks that free aler moves it ahead for Kulik trying to find shalet and get him he’s back to pick it up eight of these fins can return next year and there’s another Aon kimaru they didn’t get he got hurt in October hasn’t played since kimaru is a really hydrated

Prospect for the draft very SLI defenses and they also get y Kell this year the Nashville first round CTI back that’s lifted wide contrast Kemo playing in Milwaukee in the AHL didn’t come Kul playing the AHL has come and has been great yeah wide pass here he plays it back out to a

Line he couldn’t knock it down brought in by Alice cze long shot glove by Coco and he squeezes that Jack has got Chie has got themselves back in within one here so they can take their time and don’t have to press in an out of control way chipping away take the game right

Down to the wire if they can Patrick austad a long career in North America in the NHL the American League the IHL skill guy I wonder how many of these players would know how good their coaches were as players yeah it’s probably not really look at his stats but not really

Know there’s a feeling among coaches that for young players the game started when they began playing it it was just a bunch of stuff in books before that yeah I mean I think clearly the awe that you know some of the Legends are held I mean the Swedish players meeting Henri Glen

Because the other day they were speechless Amo Works back in Amo taken down and there’s a penalty coming to [Applause] Galis to the power player 1050 to go and tobius buck wants nothing to do with anyone talking back on that penalty he’s heard just about enough from both benches everybody involved I’m making

The calls everyone be quiet I’m going to announce them a trip to Galvis who yeah gets a stick underneath the Gate of hamah good call Easy call to make and Finland has the power play and I’m not sure what Zid lit’s problem is he accusing him of diving stepped on the guy’s

Stick so the fins are back on the power play they they were looking to end the game on the power play Then of the second they gave up a shorty [Applause] [Applause] down FS are one for three h a man event R AO sitting on two for the night kesi back for casan tees it up and Miss Q mat wi picked off now stel Bea who scored short hand and moves back in again that’s rolled off his deck bear back around for

Game they probably even though they’re on the road in Sweden probably the favorite in the gold medal game you’d have to think now that slight very slight the swedes have a great team here about the H but they’ve got the burden of history and expectation on them and

The history has nothing to do with them but it follows them Mor that would be trying to phrase if they have the opportunity to erase it to forget it to write their own [Applause] history goap perk has a flip that ahead that’s knocked away from him Finland grinding it out here getting

It down to the wire if they can stay five on five right they’ll have a good chance as it’s been all special teams for Cy in this game since the Advent of the metal round format of the 1996 tournament in Boston the sweds are 1 and six in gold medal

Games not good not good and the one they won was a one nothing knee knocker against Russia in Calgary in 2012 didn’t they out shoot calary like or Russia like 50 to 10 in that game it was crazy I mean the so they earned that one well yes the hard

Way yeah you know what but the the atmosphere and the energy that will be in this building give shots were 50 to 16 after regulation and mik aanad finally ended it long shot P was block at again the second Drive the checks are hanging around

Here they they just don’t go away in a game in a tournament they will always keep working it was two nothing 42 52 the checks have chipped away here and they’ll have keep it tight get to a point where you get the goalie out and look to tea up your

Shooters the shots have been close although the play at five on five has not been three power play gos shorty right now for cheia the they’re trying tobius they’re trying helenus winds his way out drops that back for caki kasaki works it back up high and then

Just back 15 ft over the glass interesting move now the glass is low here but it’s not that low that’s that’s out in any building like that is that thing goes out at fedway Park like that’s full strategy cotton see how it plays out trying to get it in deep just got

Away from sometime the rolls on you watch moski he’s getting chippy here after the whistle having a conversation Troy Murray of Canada saying we don’t need much more of that but all these check players he might run into either in the in the Quebec League or perhaps

Memorial Cup down the road have a good chance to play it with B Como so back and forth with palonen who plays for London they have a seemingly every year they have a chance to get to [Applause] It one warning for CIA here not want a Second yourself kick back shall try to play that ahead halted it knocks it back into the check Zone H goes back to pick it up inside seven to go here in the third shaala great pass aler was jumped up that play called offside P off a stick it up it out

Calling offside at first but apparently not third per is creeping along yeah it’s no flow whatsoever and and that’s probably fine for the checks right I don’t know I mean every whistle allows the team defending a lead to recalibrate change get settled know almost think a little more

Up and down if you’re the team chasing goals Cy Banks out out here’s Kulik banking that back this top line goes back to work for cck this is the line that played together in the gold medal game against Canada last year the loss in the goal by Dylan

Gunther the Golden Goal second straight year the Canada won the gold medal in overtime we might very well see OT in the gold medal game tonight kich winds in and shoots whistle that wide shall back on it K TR to Cent that two fins collided there Lassa bump harded to sell

It spins and shoots tipped in front by kasaki that pass for helus was broken up there by sabok that saved the goal good idea to get it across the greenus was hanging where he scored his goal from off the back door last year the five top level IHF

Events all won by North americ teams Canada won the World Championship the World Junior and the women’s under 18s the US won the women’s world championship and the men’s under [Applause] 18 and now galvas Falls lays that back across for [Applause] bares and the United States will try to keep that roll going

Tonight it’s going to be a doozy it’s going to be a good game gas checky gets a little push here needs a momentum little em motion back into this game has gotten fogged down with whistles up the Top Line against Kon and shoots and cookle to save on that

Or Che so this line will play this shift then probably come back what about two to go got a timeout yet for the rest of the game goalie out if they don’t score here move guys got B [Applause] here now moved up by hamah and for Chi it to him and they got

The icing and not the interfering that looked like interference you know when you make that step right you got to hit you you can’t finish him when the pucks went off his stick that long that’s that’s just it if you had the puck on his stick it’s it’s so far past

Right yeah and it’s an icing so jaie gets it back in the offensive zone as soon as per steps into him they they call that every time in the NHL not every time apparently not here normally here it’s called quite a bit off the drop reaching for it taken away by

B Samu B had that taken away P it back out there P might be interesting with the one goal you know what he might do something up something play it back around from Jen Emy stel Steeps into him laid back in back across a hard shot Hammer there by be here Coco [Applause]

H SS that back and remon plays it ahead Ron reaching for it knocks it free ran what a move and shoots kopo the save and squeezes that inside three to go here in the third tidy stick handling Aro jumps on a puck just inside the Blue

Line you’re standing still so you got to be pretty slickly your stick and sinin just gets roasted and prior to that one of the best Chan we’ve seen in a while quick one-timer be who scored a short-handed goal earlier yeah wheels and fires from distance try Coco so check here with

Under three in the clock Al to take their time out offensive zone face off Robert reel longtime incredible International and NHL player in the IHF Hall of Fame draws it up remember their 1998 Olympic gold medal team always would come over to play for his country actually the fins called timeout

Here wow that’s interesting now we saw the most bizarre coaching move early in this tournament the fins have lost their first two games in Canada and Germany it was the first time they’d ever been beaten by the Germans and the next game against lby with a 230 local start and

Lori mikola the Finish coach scheduled an 8: a.m. morning skate for the 230 afternoon game they won it 4 nothing and then won three in a row so now it’s a brilliant move yeah apparently I would love to see the look on your face when your coaching hey Mike 8m morning skate

Tomorrow for the 2:30 start you wouldn’t want that but here we go six on five okay so la on the bench 256 to go early for you offense’s own face off is probably what they’re knowing that they’ll be hard to come by chapal for the face off against

Kesan there’s bear with it back for Kulik they’ll watch him closely bounced away from milowski and the puck goes to finish B appeared back for it and thrown win wide for milowski Tes malski dropped that back now it’s brought up by ham drops it back for

Koling and kulick back hands up high in the air of the corner there a hunt down his own shoo it Chapa Val with it he back and dra bear H for cooling hammerers that the outside of the goal bouncing puck in front and shaav valov couldn’t contain it there’s bear back with it

KCK hamar lowski Center KCK shoots kicked up by K rebound Score the rebound cased by Andre Bower gets his second of the game and with 156 to go the game is tied at five wow what a rally B starting to come back with a shorty in the second he ties it up plate and they finally found the pass they

Wanted seam pass the cool and everything breaks down from there it’s a really good pass to get it over to him he smartly gets it to the far side of the net and the rebound there for his guys to do some work with and Sh of olive

There can’t get there in time but that hair just chips it up and over to tithe the game and the early goalie Cole pays dividends cheia look at the I I’m stunned they came back down 52 I thought it was over short-handed goal from beer on the P while down 52 kicked it

All off and now they’re right back even with Finley their first even strength goal in the game it’s not even strength it’s six on five their first non special teams goal of the game that’s glove by Coco five on five who needs It amazing stuff for czechia three Power Play Goals one short-handed goal and one six on five goal beautiful pass from Chalet take get over to Kula and the Finish By B it’s just the resiliency and the emotional Reservoir to keep fighting in a game that they are

Down four these players remain from the bronze met on scores and they’ve done it Again HRA with a harmless looking point shot that deflects by Coco and it’s 65 check him and four of these guys lost the bronze medal game two years ago and they’ve got a chance now to win it they were down 52 late in the second clean win straight in straight in Koko

Just can’t find it and just drops it back to Hamra he doesn’t even shoot it hard it’s gravity that’s making it drop the Ottawa third round pick this is this is one for the ages celebration goes all the way down to the end vress gets Dragged

In why not there’s their first five on five goal of the game goals 15 seconds apart have stunned the fins here and now we got to think goalie out now don’t forget the fins use their timeout earlier yes a strange time to use it as

Well so now it’s going to be coko out as soon as Finland gets possession in the offensive zone Hing his way out now Cary with it drops that back to helenus and coko makes his way to the Finish bench shades of last year when the lead seesawed back

And forth in the late stages of the bronze medal game between Sweden and the United States Us took the lead a minute and a half to go in that game the swedes tied it late and it lost it in overtime now a CH score empty M and it’s poked home by remal and 75 check [Applause] yet hey get five straight goals for Chia five straight great job on the boards winning the battle to get it out andal gets on his horse and tight little tuck when he finally gets hold of it it’s second goal of the tournament he plays for Everett

In the Western Hockey League K Over skates in on P lean so it was czechia who actually had called the time out previously which makes much more sense was improperly announced earlier so the fins can call timeout now but what do you do you’re down two take a page from The czechia

Playbook and score two and 20 seconds yes what a stunning turn of events the fins led the game two nothing in the early stages of the first period chased the Czech starter mial Robel the coaches are celebrating harder behind the bench than the players are Remo who’s been a

Useful player yeah using speed to help facilitate good stuff and a check’s last one a medal for last last year that was her first medal in 18 years their last backto back medals were the golds they won in 2 and 2001 it’s so unusual for Finland to collaps this way this is just

Crushing for the Finn goalie staying out not even going to pull him keep him out six on five to start minute 8 to go and Lor mik’s seat got hot early the tournament when they lost their first two games it might be warming up again after this but Another Empty Net score

Right off the draw it’s beart there go the coaches again and that’s it that’s the game 85 cheia it barely makes sense but it’s it’s a beautiful memory for the Czech players they’ll have a good time celebrating this like a long time ago that they were pulling their starting reallying they were down

52 Finland was going on the power play ready for party time and Meer goes forward with the face off and dumps it in the empty net and that goal scored late in the second period short handed that’s it there was 55 seconds left in the second period when he scored it even

If you don’t score like even if Finland just doesn’t score just go through the two minutes you start the third 5-2 it gave check players a reason to believe that they could come back got them close enough to get them invested in the game again and boy they just

Found a way it is Stunning on for [Applause] gal not sure I believe it I just saw it but it’s and it’s they’ve hardly been dominant offensively and they put an eight spot up right how many times you get out played badly five on five and score eight K big part of the power

Play hard a short-handed goal Four Points in this game for Kul I think time wanting down here in the third and czechia a silver medalist last year a heartbreaking overtime loss to Canada will battle back here and things getting nasty down low there shaa into it the cck coach are celebrating there

Still a second to goal on the clock don’t realize there’s a brawl going on in the ice Newman has got his gloves up now here’s the thing if you do something here you can be suspended now if you have hopes to play for the national team in the future or you’re returning next

Year yeah you can be suspended they the linesmen recognized what was going on and tried to get in there and and stop chop of Olive and Newman before this escalated even though there was still time left on the clock prably tried to get it under control czechy has already emptied the

Bench they got to get back on the bench still time on the clock they’ll have another opportunity Newman was fantastic in this game it is just straight frustration and disbelief there’s halted for Finland be some penalties handed out here I mean hopefully just let them go sit on their benches and drop the Pucket let’s end the game and let czechia celebrate it was it’s amazing every time that czechy was on the edge of getting blown out of this game they had a power

Play goal in the first period when they were down two nothing had nothing going on right they had a shorty when they were down 52 had nothing going on shots 17 to4 czechia in the third period and oh I don’t know that’s not so bad listen their

Kids Ry he’s going by the bench you know he didn’t didn’t directly relate turn to the players so whatever coincidental miners roughing shavala can celebrate the win coming out of the box he’ll get a long run at the pile for the fins it’s amaz you know you

Celebrate the joy but you got to recognize the Heartbreak they were crushed last year they lost to the sweds in the quarterfinal get that short-handed goal with a minute to go in a tie Game he would have got some good odds if Finland scored five that they would would win this game the last two bronze medal games have featured 28 goals it was a slow build but it got crazy at the end don’t k out you’re like where’s the pace for czechia oh well

Just hold my beer here it comes a score three times in the last two minutes four times the last two minutes of the EMP and CIA takes the bronze a stunning result in golenberg but czechia wins a medal for the second straight year and the Fin’s heartbroken once [Applause]

Again what a way to finish it off for KCK tremendous for the checks those four guys were part of three teams for checking in the world junior Championship and may very well be Main Stays for their national teams going forward you know what’s nice too

H he gets to erase his tough start with a medal and a win VRA stepped in and did a nice job good enough had three goals and two assists in the game quiet five-pointer yeah and we’ll get the presentation of the player of the game awards the officials

Medals and then the bronze medals to Finland or to chechia rather change the scripts something else how do you bounce back from a difficult loss in the semis well it looked like the fins had it their way and the checks are taking their time making their way to the blue line for the

Presentations well if they know they’re supposed to go there they would if they knew B will go home happy with the bronze elated 14 of them play in North America 12 in the ch one in the NCAA and one in the American League that’s KCK and there is Patrick austa his first

Year behind the bench it was eventful they open with a one-sided 6-2 loss to Slovakia but maybe the turning point for them was a loss against the United States took them to a shootout and that seemed to give them confidence And they’re still not lined [Applause] up I honestly don’t think they know they’re supposed to someone’s got to let them know and the fins have to patiently wait yeah it’s not personal feels that way can we have Team check you please line up for the blue line thank You finally getting together here there you go ladies and gentlemen the player of the game is presented by EA with a contribution of 5,000 Swedish CRS to aaya cancer and the player of the game in team Finland number 33 Yanni [Applause] Nan man good in this game good all tournament long stand

Last day of course the Swedish officials ineligible to work tonight right that may not always be the case there’s a move of foot to try to change that if you had a Swedish and American official available for tonight if they were ranked high enough they might have been allowed to work the game

I trust my refs make a swedish and whoever you know what I mean if they’re the best guys let them be the best guys but the Ws are evaluated like the players the top guys get to work at the end of the [Applause] Tournament now the bronze medal gold the 2024 IIHF world junior Championship bronze medal goes to team Cho and delighted that hand out those medals will be Erie Kulik and this is a great change that’s happened it started during and I thought was going to hand them out that’s been happening in the

Past the captains handed them out but this will be friend rival and in the background former Czech International goalie Peter Breza who among other things is the IHF senior vice president and also the chairman of the organizing Committee in Prague for the upcoming World Championship and a nice gesture by

Czech players going down the line with Finland shaking hands with all their staff as well after receiving their medals bronze rival was a great German international player that’s tough for the fins you know we were talking the first period about how difficult it was for rabble to sit on the bench after being

Pulled back to back goals 3 hours later he’s getting a bronze medal the good news he’ll be able to a lot easier to wipe away the bad memories replac with the great ones when you look at that medal now seven of these checks can return plus Adam yurich who was hurt in their

53 with seven to go in the third period it was 52 with a minute to go in the second and there was nothing going on there was nothing in the game that would lead you to believe that czechia had an offensive explosion in them written all over the faces of

Everyone with Finland the disappointment almost looking in a bit of State of Shock four goals in 50 seconds couple empty Nets but four goals in under a minute I don’t care if anybody’s in the net that’s hard to do so kulak and the other four who played in three of these tournaments leave
