I´m calling it, Finland will win the next WJC-20´s. With Pennanen and this potential roster ( if we are free from injuries that is) the only goal should be gold. Any other medal is nothing more than decent and a must.
Let's see if Blomqvist or someone else will be the real deal. But Aatu Räty, Hirvonen, Niemelä, Lambert, Viro, Heimosalmi, Puutio, Koivunen, Tuomaala, Kapanen, Kemell, Simontaival etc.
The depth and the elite talent in Aatu Räty, Niemelä, Lambert and perhaps Kemell should do the trick.
I also have a feeling Hirvonen can and will succeed handling a bigger role as a leader this year without being the most spectacular out there.
