Best part of that result was no shootout to decide the winner.

Thank goodness.

[Resolute 14]

Nice goal. A fine way to end the tournament!

[Haplo]

Congrats Finland! Ristolainen, Terävainen and Saros were much better than the swedish top players.

[Table 5]

The Fins are always an easy team to cheer for. They never have the most talent, but always play hard.

[Itse]

Finns are also always very well coached.

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Saros wasn't named top goalie? Interesting.

[PeteMoss]

Hey.. there's the Swedish ladies we were expecting in the crowd.

Teuvo Teravainen wins scoring title with 2+13=15 points... that kid is pretty impressive

[Henry Fool]

Teuvo with 3 assists in the final, wins tournament scoring with 15 points. I guess Saros was the best goalie.

But Ristolainen seemed really determined in the OT, great leadership.

It's a rare thing for Finland. Sweden plays for the championship all the time these days, so I'm sure they'll get over the loss.

[Ashasx]

How does Teuvo not get best forward?

[KootenayFlamesFan]

Jon Gillies ‏@JGillies32

Teuvo Terräväinen, passed on by 17 teams, and Juuse Saros, passed on until the 4th round...yes, those both actually happened #mindblown

Forsberg as the best forward over Teräväinen is questionable too, but these choices are probably decided at the end of a drunken sauna night.

[Ashasx]

Well now even Gillies is making me upset.

[Righteous1]

Well deserved win for the Finns

Thank goodness we took Jankowski instead

[PeteMoss]

Those are great jerseys on Finland.

Not the U20s. Helminen was a deer in the headlights, for example. This year they had a tight team though. They lacked forward talent even by Finnish standards and maybe that put them in the right mindset.

[Henry Fool]

Ristolainen wearing a Pippi Långstrump wig. THAT'S GOING TOO FAR! POOR SPORTSMANSHIP! IS NOTHING SACRED?

And some people were comparing them and saying TT isn't any more special than Jakowski at this point... yeaaaaaaaaa right
