CP NewsAlert: Laine leads Finland past Canada
Strome had an assist for his fifth point in the IIHF World Junior Championship.

The other three quarter-final matchups will see Russian Federation face Denmark, Sweden faces Slovakia and Team USA faces the Czech Republic. The energy and raw emotion of this Canada-Finland game was simply remarkable. There was a 2-0 lead early. Just over a minute later, the Aho-Puljujärvi-Laine line struck to give Finland a 5-4 lead, with Aho poking one past Blackwood. “Any one of those goals doesn’t go in and it changes the game”. Finland pulls Veini Vehvilainen, replacing him with Kaapo Kahkonen and Canada tests him right away.
Instead, this game was about as even as you could get. “But I don’t think it’s too hard to get pumped up for a game like that, playing in front of the home crowd against Team Canada”.
Martin Biron explains how Mackenzie Blackwood’s holes in his stance and miss-anticipating where shots were going led to a tough night for the Canadian goalie.
But Canada was the author of its own demise, taking foolish penalties against the tournament’s best power play unit.
Saturday, defenceman Olli Juloevi, who plays for the OHL’s London Knights and was ranked 16th in Sportsnet’s Top Prospects list last month, was just outstanding for the Finns, particularly while running his country’s lethal power play. The back and forth continued when Marner netted his second powerplay goal of the period making it 5-5.
“We expect another good game and another strong opponent”, said Lowry. “I felt like we gave it everything we had”.
Kamenev scored 5:00 into overtime after the Nashville Predators prospect forced overtime by scoring with 44 seconds remaining in the third period.
Erie Otters center Dylan Strome added to his point total for Canada on Thursday. Finland scored three times on the power play, twice in the third, including the game-winner by Patrik Laine at 14:10 of the third.
As Strome had said earlier this week, there are no “slouches”. “That’s the way it goes”.
With the end of the year upon us, it is time to reflect on which events in the world of hockey were the most impactful in 2015. There’s going to be 20,000 people in the Bell Centre and the Air Canada Centre screaming for that call. And nowhere is this more apparent than with Jake Virtanen. They had three or four power-play goals.
Just seconds later, however, Thomas Chabot took a delay of game penalty as the puck went over the glass in the Canadians’ zone.
As the second period got underway, Finland’s Antti Kalapudas got a breakaway and tied it up with a wrist shot over Blackwood’s glove.

“It wasn’t an intentional trip”, Virtanen said. I had pretty much no power on it. He pretty much tripped on it himself. I was pretty mad he was calling that. “Personally I think the refs were a little bit on their side”. (I feel) pretty devastated. “We’ve talked to him and one thing that we want him to understand is that we will win as a group and we will score as a committee and he just has to play responsible and he’ll generate his chances”.
