The   World Championships 2019 have another record btw, 412 goals scored during this tournament is the higher number of goals in all history of WCh top divisions

 

thanks mainly to Italy, who very generously gave up almost 50 goals only by themselves...

2019 WCh AWARDS

 

Stone named MVP

 

 

Mark Stone was named tournament MVP after his string of clutch goals helped Canada to the World Championship final in Bratislava.
 

Stone, 27, was back for his second Worlds after collecting a gold medal in Moscow in 2016, and he produced 14 (8+6) points on his way to silver this time around. Along the way, he potted the last-gasp winner in a wild 6-5 victory over Slovakia, grabbed the overtime winner to settle the quarter-final against Switzerland and opened the scoring in the semi-final success against the Czech Republic.

The Golden Knights man was also selected in the media’s All-Star team, forming a potent forward line alongside Sweden’s William Nylander and Jakub Voracek of the Czech Republic. Nylander, who was MVP two years ago in Cologne, led the tournament scoring here with 18 (5+13) points in eight games as the Tre Kronor reached the quarter-final. Voracek was close behind with 16 (4+12) as the Czechs came within a shoot-out of ending a medal drought that dates back to 2012.
 

Another Czech, defenceman Filip Hronek, also made the select roster alongside Finland’s Mikko Lehtonen. Hronek was the most productive blue liner, with 11 (3+8) points, while Lehtonen was a key figure in the Finnish team that silenced Russia’s potent offence in a 1-0 semi-final victory and battled its way to gold for the third time in its history.

Russia’s Andrei Vasilevski was the top goalie, stopping 94.58% of the shots he faced for a GAA of 1.6. Vasilevski also had two shut-outs, and produced a stellar 48-save performance in the bronze-medal game against the Czechs.

The tournament directorate selected its top three players, with Vasilevski and Hronek getting the nominations for goalie and defenceman. For Vasilevski, it’s the second time in three seasons he has collected that accolade. The best forward prize went to Russia’s Nikita Kucherov, who came off a superb season in the NHL to impress here in Slovakia. He had 16 (6+10) points to help Russia to bronze and formed a dynamic partnership with Nikita Gusev, his one-time team-mate as a schoolboy.

Individual awards selected by the Tournament Directorate:

 

Best goaltender: Andrei Vasilevski 
Best defenceman: Filip Hronek 
Best forward: Nikita Kucherov

So yeah.... Apparently somewhat 10,000 hockey fans were celebrating in the marketplace in Helsinki last night. That was just Helsinki alone 

Across Finland tens of thousands finns had the urge to gather to the marketplace ( Look up "Torilla tavataan" meaning  ).  We sure love it when Finland wins gold medals in ice hockey 

[Belle 975]

Congratulations Finland. I'm very happy for you.
