[GT] WJC: Finals. RUS vs SWE 1:30pm MT. USA vs CAN 6pm MT

[btimbit]

Deserved by Chabot

[tvp2003]

Gillies: NCAA Champ, WJC Gold medal (backup)
Parsons: Memorial Cup Champ, WJC Gold medal

Of course, both goalies will probably bust and Mason McDonald will win the Vezina in 2021/22...

[btimbit]

Should have been Parsons.

Well Canada did better than I thought they would this year. That said, Strome and Dubois are two of the most disappointing 19 years old I've seen Canada bring to this tournament. N

Not sure how Parsons doesn't get player of the game for USA there but sure.

Charlie McAvoy looks like he eats plenty of peanut butter. Fingers full of peanut butter.

Great game to watch.
Bottom line is you can't give up two 2 goal leads and expect much.

[StrykerSteve]

Parsons was robbed.

[Yamer]

Parson's playing like an absolute beast and Fox chalking up 3 assists (the 3rd of which was an incredibly smart, heads up play) takes the sting out of Canada losing.

[sureLoss]

46 saves on 50 shots
perfect in the shootout

Well deserved gold medal for Parsons.

- CHL Memorial Cup All-Star Team 15/16
- CHL Memorial Cup Champion 15/16
- CHL Memorial Cup Most Outstanding Goaltender 15/16
- OHL Champion 15/16
- OHL Lowest Team GAA (Dave Pinkney Trophy) 15/16
- U20 WJC Gold Medal 16/17

Parsons proving to be a big game player

Anyone else see Parsons give the camera a kiss at the end? I was so stoked on Parsons even though Canada didn't win, but I seriously cringed. Buddy relax. Show some class. You're representing your country and the Calgary Flames.

Dubios doesn't turn 19 until the summer. He's still eligible for next years tournament.

No, that's losing a lead. Apart from the overwhelming energy of the first period tailing off in the second, both teams played pretty consistently the whole game.

Maybe he's signalling family or a girlfriend. Relax.

That's pretty incredible that Parsons has 22 straight wins in 'big' games - OHL playoffs, Memorial Cup and World Jrs.
