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..... ;)

    • Vittozzi- Wierer in 2019 or even some later. They are still not close friends and do not train together: Vittozzi has been training alone since last season, Wierer with the men's team for 4-5 years and the rest of the Italian team still separately - Vittozzi trained with this second group until she suffered an injury in the autumn of 2024.
    • So far, the Russians haven't even reached the Dnieper River, so don't worry. Poland has the same problem as Ukraine, in that there are no major geographical obstacles to the east: mountains, lakes, rivers, etc. The terrain is quite flat, but to reach Warsaw in a few days, the country would have to fall apart, the army would collapse and the authorities would have to escape from the country. 
    • Probably 0% but in 1939 Germans reached the outskirts of Warsaw after only eight days (the border was more to the east than it is now i.e. they had less ground to cover). The ugly truth is NATO would most likely bide their time in response so the entire eastern Poland would be a battle field for a while.
    • What was the Italian conflict? I can't quite remember.
    • And is there any chance that the Polish president would have escape within the first 2-3 days of war? Probably 0%. In 1939, the authorities escaped, but after an attack from 2 sides, the first being the German attack.
    • Hmm, and were they wanted to capture Kyiv in three days? Since middle of 2022, their run has been slow, so I don't think they'll be using any rapid maneuvers on the future. They surprised Ukraine at the very beginning on the war and were close to success. Zelenskyy only needed to flee the country in the first 2 or 3 days of the war. And Russia could have counted on this happening, because Zelenskyy wasn't an experienced politician or soldier and could have do however they wanted. In my opinion, Zelensky's role in Putin's plan ruined everything for them- he, as a populist and inexperienced man, was to escape from Kiev in the first few days of the war. Then Russia would have put in one of its own- Yanukovych? and Europe and the USA would probably have approved that.
    • Fortifications could only work for illegal immigrants but not against drones. We're wasting missiles worth millions of euro to shoot down drones worth 10k. It's anyone's guess how quickly Russians would reach Vistula River if the invasion came from two sides (Kaliningrad & Belarus). It would be days and not weeks...
    • Shocking news 😔 We just saw him competing 2 days ago in Annecy. 
    • Yes, and Ukraine is very important to Putin- far more important than the Baltic states, Georgia or even Poland. Without Ukraine, the restoration of the former USSR will be impossible for Putin. Another thing is that with pro-Russian Ukraine, Poland will have its entire eastern and northern border (Kaliningrad) with unfriendly countries except Lithuania, so it will basically have to militaries the all entire eastern part of Poland and build various fortifications there.
