Head coach Lauri Mikkola and captain Jere Lassila had to answer a question about the referee’s decision that decided the match.
Lauri Mikkola spared his words in the moment of disappointment. PDO
Seven seconds of silence.
Because the head coach Lauri Mikkola started his interview on Discovery’s broadcast after the US semi-final, which ended in defeat.
Nuoret Leijonat lost 2-3 in a tight and exciting match. The place in the final was lost at the end of the third period, when the main referee of the match whistled for Finland to go to ice.
Kasper Kulonumme from hooking while sitting Cutter Gauthier scored the Yankees’ winning goal.
The referee’s decision annoyed the Finnish team and fans. Ending a great match in this way sucks.
When Mikkola was asked in a TV interview about his opinion about the Swedish referee, Mikkola was silent for a long time before opening his verbal casket.
– Well…I had a bit of a feeling that the chill came lightly, Mikkola finally settled her words.
The final decision was disappointing, but Mikkola also gave credit to the winner.
– We also had our seams to get even. But we couldn’t do it. Great game, disappointing loss.
From the team captain From Jere Lassila was asked for a comment on the same topic.
– I would like to, but I will not comment. We had 60 minutes to win, we didn’t. We can’t go behind that (judge’s decision), Lassilta stated.
Mikkola was asked how to fire up and motivate the team for Friday’s bronze medal game against the Czech Republic.
– Yes, it will definitely ignite and motivate you. But here, 10 minutes into the game, the flame still isn’t burning. But yes, at some point, Mikkola said.
