We bury the Sedins on a third or fourth line where the tempo is slower. Then we equip Zetterberg with speedsters on the wings.
Then we release the defense fire power as soon as possible.

Finally, swedish defense is better on ice than on paper! You guys will face Lundqvist and one of Karlsson, Ekman-Larsson and Hedman ALL OF THE TIME!

Unlike Sochi 2014, I like our chances. Eventhough 2014 didn't end up that bad anyways.

What's the current situation with Lundqvist? Is he healthy?

They're hyping Marjamäki harder than I am!

His player development skills, at least. Note that there's not a peep about his tactical acumen and other talents required to be an effective bench boss. Not that I'm not saying he doesn't possess them, but that's still rather narrow as far as hype goes.

I'm pretty sure that in his new job it would be considered pretty preposterous if he suddenly took his NT selections to a grocery store and told 'em what they can and can't eat.

Don't swedish coaches sit Karlsson in the dying embers of a game? ;)

I definitely would.

I mean, if Sweden is in the gold medal game leading by 1 goal with 2 mins left, I would take a lot of other guys from the Swedish D corpse to seal the deal :)

Someone posted at Jatkoaika that Nelonen will air our exhibition games and the group games live but the playoff games would be delayed.

That's better than expected and Finland probably won't be in playoffs anyway.

Going to be annoying if Finland reaches GFs, though...
 
I think it's a clever decision really. The diehards who wanna stay up in the middle of the night are also those who are more likely to pay to see the games - whereas the timing is far from ideal for the regular folks, who should just be happy they can see it at a more convenient time.

So know you will only watch it at your convenience?

I doubt that.
 
I'll be happy to watch the tape delay games after work, but I'll still order viasat. Their new only-hockey package looks good. That way we don't have to waste our money to football or movies or any other crappy sport.
 
What is this Lindell doing in the team (or in NA)? The guy cannot even skate nor handle the puck. Yet he is called an "offensive dman". - A ****ing joke: The curious case of Esa Lindell. :help::laugh:

Just read about the ticket pricing for the exhibition game vs Sweden.

It starts at 80€ which is... relatively reasonable. It's going to be interesting to see if they're going to sell out, though, when the upper limit reaches to 240€.

With these prices, I'd expect around 60-75% of seats being filled.
 
A pretty weak roster. Will need a small miracle to win any of the better countries like Canada etc. That D looks brutal.

Indeed. It will only take one injury (one of Määttä, Ristolainen or Vatanen) and the blue line is a total mess, while it's not looking good even at this moment. Also we have Korpikoski in the forward group, who was so bad he got bought out by the Oilers. Too bad Rantanen never really got a shot at the WHC. Fairly sure he'd be an upgrade even at his age. Lets atleast hope they will play Laine on the left wing instead of the right this time, without J.Jokinen in the same line if possible.

I'll be watching the games if possible, but without much expectation. Our time will come, if not from four years from today then eight.
