Team Canada head coach Jon Cooper poked some fun at Team Finland goalie Juuse Saros after their spine-tingling 3-2 win in the semifinals to advance to the gold medal game.
Team Canada was able to earn their second straight narrow win in the 2026 Olympics, this time over Team Finland.
They trailed 2-0 but were able to pull out a 3-2 regulation win and Nathan MacKinnon scored the GWG late in the third period.
As valiant as he played, Team Finland goalie Juuse Saros came up just short and had to take a difficult loss against a strong opponent.
But after the game, Canada head coach Jon Cooper appeared to poke fun at Saros by referencing his commercial that often plays during national tv broadcasts.

Even though Canada trailed 2-0 against underdog Team Finland, they didn’t wilt and let their star power take over.
Just as they did in their previous game against Czechia, they earned a dramatic comeback win, this time in regulation.
Because of their win, Canada once again advances to the gold medal game, where they will play the historic foe United States for the top international bragging rights.
Saros was constantly under siege against Canada, but eventually allowed goals from San Reinhart, Shea Theodore and then finally from MacKinnon late in the third period.
Saros, who is now going back to the Nashville Predators, will be highly regarded by his nation because of how he played in the Olympics on their behalf.
