World Juniors 2017: Rivalry Renewed, Finland & Relegation.

Day Nine of the World Juniors is Over, Who Won? Who Lost? and Who Were the Top Players of the Day? We’re Here to Let You Know!

Finland hit a hot streak, unfortunately, it was too late, but it still counted in some sense. Canada played out a real life scenario of David vs. Goliath. And the United States once again overcame adversity in the 2017 World Juniors.

Finland won their relegation tournament against Latvia by two games to none. Showing they are quite capable of winning and scoring, but did it too late in the tournament. Canada surprised everyone by controlling the entire game versus the powerful Swedes to advance to the Gold Medal game.

And the United States almost faced a scare by the hands of the Russians, until forward Troy Terry did what Canadian forward Jonathan Toews did years back by scoring three back to back shootout goals to help the States advance to the Gold Medal game as well. So a rivalry has been renewed and is going to be the game of the day on day ten.

Game Results:
United States (4/SO) vs. Russia (3)
Sweden (2) vs. Canada (5)
Finland (4) vs. Latvia (1)

Tournament Schedule:

Bronze Medal Game – Russia vs. Sweden (3:30pm EST)
Gold Medal Game – United States vs. Canada (7:30pm EST)

Next: Top 5 Candidates for the Calder Trophy

The final day of the tournament if going to be a classic. Canada and the United States will be renewing an old rivalry that always has everyone on edge, and it’s no regular game either, it’s for the Gold medal.

The powerhouse Swedes have been knocked down a notch, but for their continually outstanding efforts, they will be facing a very talented Russian team who has a history of waiting until later in the tournament to get things going. Therefore, closing day is going to be absolutely fantastic.
