Wyatt Johnston too just to add another.


We could build another team that could contend for the Gold Medal. Canada isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

Ach, I feel so bad for those Finns, look at their faces, they were so freaking close (and you could make a very good case that they deserved to win given the way they outplayed CAN in the 3rd and in OT up until McTavish's magic)

We'll see.

This can be classified as a positive problem. We have too many elite centers coming tears of joy


Imagine having the problem of having too many top 6 centres 😂. With Hintz, Johnston, Stankoven and Bourque, we’ll have the best centre core in the league.

Don’t forget Stankoven, he’s the guy who started that wonderful play.


2026-30 looking mighty dangerous

Niemela's pass to Kemell was just unbelievable. Helenius also owned the front of the net.

Also, Jack Thompson was horrendous on Finland's 2nd goal, I thought he was decent until that point but wow, he messed up.

Doesn’t hurt to share. We will trade you Pearson Poolman and a third for one of them 😏

What’s worst is that if Johnston and Stankoven aren’t making the Stars roster this year, they’re most likely both going to the WJC.

Same thing with Wright if he decides to play another year in the OHL.

Yep, that hurt to see as a Lightning fan, but he was pretty good for the first 5 games of the tournament.

All the Finland players should pull a Lias Andersson and throw their medals into the crowd.

The fact they tied it and were mere cms away from winning should be a proud moment. Take that silver and go for the next stage of your careers in the NHL

But man it sucks as got a feeling next year Finland is taking a big step back as I believe most of the guys cant come back

We have Finnish olympic team problem basically. Barkov, Aho, Hintz, Granlund, Lundell - all great centers on their own but they are not nearly as good on the wing

Not only that, but guys who were drafted this season - Korchinski, Savoie, Geekie, Mateychuk, Pickering, LDBB

We're going to have a very strong team in December

That 2021 draft class is one of the most underrated ones in a while. I can name many other good players, who realistically could return.

Thankfully it didn't. No idea how we didn't lose this game. I'm not going to complain though

No one celebrates that, but it'll start to feel better over time.

Sad difference between bronze and silver medals is that in order to get bronze you have to win, but to get silver you need to lose.

Yup, basically that, but I could all see them being able to play wing.

One of them (or two) will have to, but it’s incredibly hard to think who.
