JVM’s first giant scare is a fact.
Finland lost – against Germany.
“Disaster”writes the Finnish newspaper Evening newspaper.
After the loss to Canada in the opener, most probably expected the Junior Lions to bounce back with a win against Germany.
But not.
In a match that swung back and forth, in the end it was a German victory with 4–3.
Two late goals (by Roman Kechter and Veit Oswald) in the second period meant that Finland had to play with a knife to its throat in the final period, but it ended goalless.
“Strength”
Thus, the giant shock – the first in this year’s edition of the JVM – was a fact.
– Germany is making a real effort. They celebrate as if they won a WC gold medal almost. And rightfully so. What a team performance, says Jacob Josefson in TV6.
“Disaster”
In the Finnish media, the start of JVM is described as “a disaster”.
– Of course it was a bad result today, but the tournament is not over yet, says national team captain Lauri Mikkola according to Evening newspaper.
