Laine lands MVP

Teen star from Tampere tops the poll

Finland's Patrik Laine missed out on a gold medal against Canada but the 18-year-old finished the tournament with a host of individual accolades.

 

Patrik Laine’s debut World Championship was a storming success. The 18-year-old prospect from Tappara Tampere picked up a silver medal with team Finland and won the tournament MVP, as selected by the media covering the tournament.

 

Laine finished with 7+5=12 points from 10 games, sharing the lead in goalscoring with Sweden’s Gustav Nyquist. Among his key moments was a memorable assist on the winner against Russia in the semi-final as his team stunned the home crowd in Moscow.

 

Sunday's final produced another big personal achievement: Canadian captain Corey Perry's gold medal saw him join the prestigious Triple Gold Club of players who have won Olympic and World Championship gold as well as lifting the Stanley Cup.

 

Laine also won the directorate’s award for the best forward in the competition, alongside his team-mate Mikko Koskinen (best goalie) and Canada’s Michael Matheson (best defenceman). Koskinen was the backstop behind a solid Finnish rearguard that gave up just 10 goals in the entire tournament, while Matheson’s 2+4=6 points made him the second most productive blue-liner after Russia’s Anton Belov.

 

Those three also made the media’s all-star team. That line-up was rounded out by Russian D-man Nikita Zaitsev and forwards Mikael Granlund (Finland) and Vadim Shipachyov (Russia).

 

Shipachyov finished as the leading point-scorer of the competition, putting up 6+12=18 as part of a blistering line with Artemi Panarin and Yevgeni Dadonov. Between them, the Russian trio had 18 goals and 46 points to fill the top three spots in the scoring charts.

 

Individual Awards as selected by the Directorate:

 

Best Goaltender: :FIN Mikko Koskinen
Best Defenceman: :CAN Michael Matheson
Best Forward: :FIN Patrik Laine

 

 

Most Valuable Player as selected by the media:

:FIN Patrick Laine

 

 

All-Star Team as selected by the media:
Goaltender: :FIN Mikko Koskinen
Defencemen: :RUS Nikita Zaitsev, :CAN Michael Matheson
Forwards: :FIN Patrik Laine, :RUS Vadim Shipachyov, :FIN Mikael Granlund

Thank god we have Laine and Aho for future WC tournaments.

 

U18 gold, U20 gold and WC Silver is rather solid result in this hockey season though. We'll have our revenge..... ;)

    • Would you believe the NCAA Indoor season has already started?      
    • Some changes that I've noticed:   3x3 Basketball: With the expanded 12 team field, one extra team per gender qualifies through world rankings, one extra team qualifies through the universality driven tournament and there's now an Olympic Qualifier series to award the final quotas.   Beach Volleyball: Continental qualifiers have have priority over the World championship and World Rankings quotas and there's now Olympic Qualifier Series quotas.   Canoe Sprint: World ranking system now in place and will be used instead of awarding world championship quotas. Road Cycling: 2 nations ranking quotas per gender moved to universality.   Track Cycling: Sprint and Keirin ranking list is now combined and will award 14 quotas per gender. Previously it was 7+7. Team pursuit down to 8 quotas from 10. 2 of the quotas have been moved to madison (one additional team) and 6 to the omnium.   Fencing: Can get a Continental quota of you finished in the top 24 of the rankings. It was previously top 16.    Hockey: 2 pro league quotas replace two qualification tournament quotas.   Judo: 5 less universality places and 4 more Continental places. For men, there's two more spots for Asia, one less for Oceania and 1 more for the Americas. For the women, there's one more spot for Europe, one less for Oceania and two more for Asia.   Modern Pentathlon: Less quotas awarded through world rankings as a result of quota cuts.   Open Water Swimming: Introduction of world ranking qualifier.   Sailing: In general, seems to be more quotas awarded at the last chance regatta and less quotas at the World Championships   Shooting: One less quota handed out at each World Championship and the return on World Cup qualifiers.   Swimming: Olympic qualification and consideration times renamed to A and B standard. B standard is now 1% slower than the A standard compared to 0.5% in 2024. Stroke 50s have their own direct qualification events and have minimum time standards instead of A and B standards. Qualification times have been nuked again. B standard selection process has also changed.   Volleyball: New revised format. Continental championships first, then world championships followed by world rankings. In 2024, it was 3 qualification tournaments and then world rankings. Only 3 countries per gender will qualify by world rankings now compared to 5 in 2024
    • For Italy, the match against Japan and likely the final match against Estonia will be a safe/relegation game, but I'm think that whether the match against Estonia will be decisive on anything, if we have 0 points after 4 matches. We're currently the worst team here – we have 0 points and are taking significantly fewer shots than our opponents in each match. Japan and Estonia are looking better for now and unfortunately, without significant improvement play starting tomorrow, we'll likely be relegated to the fourth division. With the absence of Russia and Belarus, this will be a shame, even for the weaker 2006/2007 age generation. Especially, since we are playing this tournament at home. For anyone could have competed with a good shape, except perhaps Hungary, who are currently the best team in the tournament.
    • They shouldn't promise additional spots to countries that qualify 3 athletes in each distance, because then taking those spots away isn't fair. For example, in Italy, Previtali won the 500m QO for country but he would likely have to stay at home because the staff probably would have chosen Casinelli for the relay (Casinelli won't be competing individually at all). I don't know what the situation is in Canada with the fifth-place skater? Will this person only compete in the relay, or will he also be a reserve there? 
    • That's too bad. Athletes who finish in the top 32 (or 36 for the 1590m) should be the priority over the 5th athlete from a relay country.   So Croatia loses their 2nd women's quota, Hong Kong loses their only women's quota and Poland loses their 3rd women's quota.   This means that Great Britain, Slovakia and Ukraine should fill up the rest of the 1500m field since they are the highest placed reserves that doesn't require an additional quota.    
    • Philip Rivers' possible return to NFL while being a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame certainly wasn't on my bingo card. But well. So far he's only on the practice squad
