Can't wait to hear what the Russian coach has to say about that misconduct for Kamenev. I'm sorry but unless he threatened a refs life there's no way that was justified.

If he shoved a ref he has to go, no?

If he shoved a ref he would have been given a match penalty and been out of the game right away, so it likely wasn't that. TSN said they couldn't find visual evidence of what he did.

In fairness, he set-up both goals in the Semi to get them to the final too.

Cheer on, Finnish fans! Team Finland defeated Team Russia in the Gold Medal game 4-3, the winner coming on an overtime goal by Kasper Kapanen.
(Yes, LeafsNation, our Kasper!).

What is with this posting style?
It's like an odd news service linking it's stuff, but every second one has an error in it.

Ron Wilson speaking...
Ron Wilson...is..uncertain if he wants to parlay his 2016 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships experience into more work.
?I don?t want to do this again, I don?t think,? Wilson told reporters....?I don?t see myself coming back. I wanted to do it once. I wanted to see what it was like to coach at this level, and I did. We won a bronze. It?s not gold, but it?s still something.?
?Sometimes I had my doubts there after my Toronto experience. I was getting criticized from all sides. You learn to trust yourself. That?s what I did, I trusted myself and we were rewarded,? Wilson said.
The coach, who holds dual American-Canadian citizenship, made headlines in the tournament for criticizing the media pressure put on Team Canada?s teens and admitting he did zero research on Russia?s players before they eliminated his squad in Monday?s semifinal.
Yet American star Auston Matthews said the players all appreciated Wilson?s style of guidance.
?He was really laid back. He was really honest with everybody. He doesn?t yell a lot. It was different from what most people kind of expected,? Matthews told reporters in Helsinki. ?It was really nice to have him as a coach.
