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.

    • my problem isn't that*...it's that I just can't stand the test match format    I'd rather watch T20 or ODI...I don't like even the T10 format   *I just discovered that we can watch the 7+ ott also here in Italy, just need a good  VPN and a bit of patience to register to their portal (it's completely free, and the app on the amazon firestick works way better than the regular website on my PC)    for those who like to dare, there's a chance to subscribe to Kayo Sports, too, but I didn't take the risk yet...you know...   meanwhile, for those who are more into "a certain kind of stuff"  there's always the magical app Sportsfire (it works basically only on the amazon firestick, though)...and you have a whole world at your feet  (when it worls )
    • Meanwhile, a bit of a request for help: I have been trying, but if anyone can find the qualification rules for the world championships in Trondheim, specifically the requirements to be allowed to start in all races, that'd be great, I can't find it anywhere yet..   Edit: of course I found it right after asking for help     Only remaining question is: does 'current' mean what at that moment is the current list (the 6th FIS points list) or the one that is used for the eligibility for the WSC 2025 as listed on the 'Dates of the lists' document (5th FIS points list)?    
    • Happy New Year to you as well!   So, we got back from Oberwiesenthal Sunday night, after an adventurous drive in the snow and a long road back home. It went well there: the classic sprint on Saturday resulted in 314 points, which improved her own position towards the team sprint in the world championships (being in the team sprint is potentially very important towards the Olympics). She beat her main rival by a whopping 11 seconds, so that was awesome.   20k mass start classic on Sunday wasn't that good: in the first of six laps, some athletes around her fell, one of them hit her left foot (the one that got injured in the accident 3 years ago) and that resulted in quite some pain. I was waiting with my drinks in the coaching area, but after the field passed there in lap two, she didn't appear, so I knew something was up. Walked back and saw her walking towards me, then she explained what had happened. The pain after being hit in the foot was too much to keep going for 16km, especially in a race that wouldn't count for the Olympic ranking anyway and was only meant for 'racing rhythm', continueing could do more damage than good.   That's a shame, but no problem, the sprint went well and that was WAY more important. Also: the day before the race we went to the Polish wax cabin to ask for help, because she does always need someone to wax her skis and 'Team' Brazil isn't really an option. The Polish very gladly helped (and were paid with a nice 12-pack of beer we brought for that occassion) and the skis were really good, so that was fantastic. Even better: after the mass start, and explaining why being hit in the foot was such a problem and so on, the wax guy - without us even asking - offered to also help at the world championships, and invited her for a training camp with the team in the summer     December had gone very well as well, right now (with still this entire season and half of next season to go) she is leading the Brazilian Olympic ranking by a nice margin. Of course many races to come for everyone, but so far, so good!   Next option is 17-19 January, FESA Cup in Falcade. Financially it's a bit tough, since that is yet another 2300km with the rental car (with which we already did 1600 now, and we only have 2000 on the contract, so every km outside of it costs 20 cents), plus another accomodation needed. We're looking into the options, because Falcade has a classic sprint AND a 10k freestyle, which is the absolute perfect combination considering those are the things that count for the Olympic ranking. We're trying to scrape enough together, so...we'll keep you updated
