I'm going to support Team Europe to win it all :)  And i'm not even mad anymore. Team Finland is going through a generation change. We have so many young fowards and D-men already playing in the NHL. They just need more experience. Our good defensive D-men have all retired and now a new generation is rising. 4 years from now, in the next World Cup of Hockey, just watch. We will win it all. FINLAND 4ever!! <3  

And this was Marjamäki's first international tournament as a head coach of our national team. It's a bit difficult to start straight from the top :d

MacKinnon wins it in OT

Thriller ends with magical deke with 48.8 seconds left

Air Canada Centre Toronto ON Canada

Vince Trocheck celebrates his goal for Team North America in the first period against Sweden.

 

Nathan MacKinnon put the moves on Henrik Lundqvist in overtime, giving North America a 4-3 win over Sweden in World Cup play. It was an overtime with breakaways and great saves, culminating with a win by the speedy youngsters who have captured the hearts of fans in Toronto.

"It was a lot of fun to be a part of," enthused Mark Schiefele.

Incredibly, the result is a mixed message for the young guns. Sweden, with the one point for an OT loss, will finish first in the group with five points and qualify for the semi-finals.

"Of course, you always want to win the game, but for us, it's mission accomplished," said Swedish coach Rikard Gronborg. "We finished first in our group and we move on, so we're happy."

North America, meanwhile, has four points after the win, but the team is in a tenuous position. Russia has two points with a game against Finland tomorrow. If the Russians win and finish tied with North America, Russia would advance because of the head-to-head result.

The first period was perhaps the most entertaining so far at this year’s tournament. Not only did it produce five goals, it featured no fewer than five breakaways by the speedy North Americans, two by Connor McDavid who couldn’t buy a goal for his bad fortune.

In fact, the first minute alone was sensational. McDavid made a brilliant rush but was stopped by Henrik Lundqvist. The puck came to Morgan Rielly at the point, and his shot created a rebound for Auston Matthews to bang home just 30 seconds after the opening faceoff.

Next shift, Johnny Gaudreau had a breakaway but was hooked by Erik Karlsson from behind, resulting in a penalty shot. Gaudreau, however, made a mess of the chance and fired high and wide from a long way out.

No matter. Next shift saw Shayne Gostisbehere find Vince Trocheck in front with a great slap pass. Trocheck controlled the puck and patiently backhanded it past a sprawling Lundqvist for a 2-0 lead.

The experienced Swedes were not so easily conquered, though. They got one goal back at 8:24 when Filip Forsberg’s shot snuck in under the arm of John Gibson.

Five minutes later, Gaudreau scored a beauty, again on a breakaway. This time he deked Lundqvist out of his equipment, making it 3-1 at 13:57.

But again the Swedes clawed their way back. Gibson made an angled save on a Forsberg shot, but the puck came out the other side where Niklas Backstrom knifed it into the empty side of the goal.

The North Americans were sailing nicely along, but in a flash it was a tie game. Early in the third a hard Karlsson pass found Patrik Berglund's stick in front, and he made a great deflection past Gisbon at 6:50.

    • https://www.fantaski.it/news/2024/11/22/tommaso-sala-si-rompe-il-crociato-in-allenamento.asp   Now the entire Italian team will be hanging on Vinatzer, who will finish maybe 30% of the races in the season. Tragedy. Sala was not an outstanding skier, but he could have made it to the top 10 several times. The biggest debacle in slalom in decades is coming  This winter seasons haven't even started yet but I'm fed up with him. We have regression in every discipline, Vittozzi disease, disaster in men`s alpine skiing, what else? Unfortunately, we have been much better in summer sports than in winter sports recently.
    • Tense men's semi but  10  8 after 11.      made a 3 in the 10th!
    • Violette Braun is the first  woman in a World Cup since 2009. Today she obliterated the NR in the 1500 by 3 seconds (2'04) on a rather slow track. Second 1500 ever for her, first was in Inzell a few weeks back (2'07) with what seemed like very good conditions.   It means a lot of room for improvement and a good sign for the 3000 which is her real strong event at the moment - she lacks basic speed but had one of the fastest final laps today, 10th over Div A and B. Faster last than penultimate lap must be quite unusual too.
    • When? I understand this is a joke about this great job 
    • The same thing happened after Turin 2006. That hall later was never used for skating competitions again, only the Indoor ECH in athletics was organized there once in 2009 and that was it. After that it was only used for commercial fairs etc. It will be the same with Milan. Regarding the indoor arena in Collalbo, it was a great idea to make it an Italian center of skating sports for many years: good location, high altitude, tourist town. Well, but according to the organizers, it`s not worth doing it, but why? Why is`t not worth doing anything here but Germany has a similar track in Inzell and it is possible there? They should hire a good manager who will develop a plan for them to make it worth doing. The same is with the bobsleigh track in Cortina. It was also not worth renovating it and if Salvini's and other big politics and determination hadn`t come into it, the competition would probably have been in Austria or St. Moritz.   The cooperation with the Netherlands is probably only supposed to concern short track. Besides, this cooperation will not do anything if we don`t have at least one indoor track for training in the summer and early autumn. The Dutch Federation isn`t a charity and will not build us infrastructure for free so that we can train on it. There are no miracles. It`s probably more about taking advantage of the opportunity to train with someone like Fontana, who is a legend in short track. After 2026 this cooperation will end, when she leaves.
    • For Ghiotto to win 2 golds at the Olympics, he would have to be the second van der Poel or Sablikova in they pick of form. You have to be a genius to beat this whole coalition of Norwegians, Dutchmen etc. However, I don't see that much talent in him. I'd like to be wrong, but I'm afraid that he'll end up with some silver-bronze in the 10 km and that's it. If he starts losing to Eitrem now, who is 22 years old, it won't bode well for the future, and there's also Roest + maybe another Dutchman will jump out. Generally, our team is poorly prepared for this season and it's not like Ghiotto is on individual training on the moon and has just come down to earth and will now win everything while the rest of the team are in terrible form. Of course, the lack of form of Bosa or Trentini means e.g. 20th place, not 10th, but for Ghiotto it could mean 4/5 place, instead of 1st. It's the same with the team. For today, the only positive performance for us is Lollobrigida's 2nd place in the b category of the women's 1500 meters and Fontana's solid performance in the same event. The rest is terrible.
    • Costantini & Mosaner will back to play together for the frist time since Beijing 2022 Our NOC and Federation do an amazing work.
