If the Swedish fans were able to draw that much reaction and showboating from the foreign teams like USA, they should be proud cause it just means they're great fans and got the attention of the players on ice. Take it as a compliment. But USA was surprisingly good and prepared this year, I don't think anyone was going to stop them. Ryan Leonard is going to be BIG TIME, can't wait to see him in a Caps sweater on a line with big Tom Wilson, they're going to be like the new Hanson brothers.

As for a player that impressed me the most - Servac Petrovsky. We expected Sykora, Mesar or Dvorsky to be good, but Petrovsky stole the show. Gajan was also brilliant from that team. Other than that I think many sleep on Lane Hutson from team US. The kid had monstrous minutes and didn't ever look tired.

I was quite impressed also with the two 17 year olds of team Finland, Helenius and Hemming, they played 3rd or 4th line with limited time on ice but they did really well in that protection/shutdown role. The other one most sleep on for team USA is Frank Nazar, his assists are so good, thrilling to think Chicago will soon have him feed apples to Bedard while Gajan guards their net.

As an American who just moved to sweden a few years ago I loved the idea of Sweden winning as the underdog in their home land but my heart will always be with the USA and the American Dream

World juniors are always a blast to watch.

As an American, the Swedes really really well. Their style and strategy was played to perfection, imo. I am actually surprised the US was able to match it because they normally don't play that style. US was just slightly winning the battles more, just slightly but enough for an edge. Lucky bounces didn't favor either team. It was clean skill on both sides.

This is hockey. Keep it raw and real. Don't like the players pissing off the crowd? Then go watch a different game, simple as that. This is part of what attracted so many people to watch the sport. If you want class and politeness, go watch golf

Really good tournament. If USA did this to Canada, I'd be pretty ticked off for a bit... but overall, I love when hockey gets this kind of spice to it. A little drama, some personality, some pride, heroes and villains... just adds another dimension to a game already packed with excitement. And when it's an international tournament that is only in the world's eye for 2 weeks, it's high stakes but it's also easy to turn it off mostly until we start ramping up into the next year's tournament.

Like, I was expecting a USA and Canada Gold Medal game), I knew this would be the year for the US, and they proved me right. Congrats to USA for winning gold! You made America proud!

So happy the Caps picked up Leonard. Kid has grit - tons of talent of course, but grit. Call it Tkachuk-esque or whatever you like; all I know is the Caps play lights out hockey when they put grit at the center of their game and this guy could get us there in a real way for the group of young talent we’ve got now. Also, I wanna say congrats to the Swedes for creating such a fantastic hockey environment. As a fan of the sport, I’ve loved everything that’s come out of - or been done in - Sweden as far as hockey goes. Another real country full of leaders for the greatest sport in the world.

I root for Canada, but I am a Jets fan. Prospects on both teams in the gold medal game today was totally cool with either win. Stoked for Rutger though the guy has an infectious attitude can't wait to see him on the Jets. Kid had like 100 people come with him from home when he got drafted, that's just the kind of dude he is.

Wel Said Goalieman!

As a Sweden, congrats to the US for a well deserved win. Felt like they were the best team in general this year. In this game they played well tactically and manage to shut us down going into their zone very well. Countless times they pushed us into going in to their zone on the left side along the boards which always fizzled out into nothing. We needed to find some way to break that up, play in the middle, take a chance with a deke into center ice, move the play to the other side, something. Also unlucky on the 2+2 high sticking penalty. Yes, a high stick, but the defenseman was pushed on his shoulder going into the situation, that probably made his motion to bat the puck out of the air exaggerated, unlucky situation which cost valuable time. Funny seeing al the juvenile celebrations, felt like that was a thing throughout many teams, but it's the World Juniors so it kind of belongs. :) Bad form by the US to start a fight at the end of the game, cmon just finish the game already, no need to be complete jerks. Appearantly many players of these two teams had faced off before in other juniors tournament, it was suggested that some bad blood had carried over from those times maybe.

@redhunter68

Pretty sure it was not the US that started the fight in the end of that. Refs were holding on to the American player while a swede tried hilarious to make a connection only to miss nearly all his shots, only for 2 swedes to double up on another American player and just pull him down to the ice. Just one of several embarrassing moments for team Sweden in that game. Fans going nuts over a clean hit, the list goes on. Sadly, for Sweden, the best team won rather dominantly.

Ah, shucks. Canada lost. Now I'll get ahead of this. I'll get ahead of this. If Canada, like every year pretty much in the world juniors, if they had their actual roster, they're going to be the favorites. I think the only player that the United States is missing is Logan Cooley. Obviously, that's an enormous impact. This U. S. Team's loaded though, without him." Canada is missing a boatload. And I mean, when it's Conor Bedard being the main one, it's like. It's kind of hard to chirp their junior team considering..." Just thought I'd post Ray whitneys thoughts here

Hävelid got us to the finals but the 3-1 goal was brutal and he's out of position on the 4-2 goal as well alltough he gets screened by his own man. The US was just too opportunistic on the offense and blocked what felt like 100 shots in their own end, well deserved win

Issac Howard makes me proud to be an American.

Axel Sandin Pellika a bit of a disappointment for me. Sure, scored 2 goals in the semi+quarter but did not play with the swagger I thought he’d do. He’s better in the SHL than he was in the WJC. Now injured for 2 months, I think. The one that impressed me was Otto Stenberg who quietly put up point per game numbers while playing third line minutes. From having a hard time to even score a point in the SHL to make such an impact at the WJC. Born in 2005, has to preform next year for Sweden in Ottawa. Lastly, that crowd was insane. Goosebumps all game.
