I expect a beating from Canada. Our defense seems too thin and our 2nd or 3rd line have not been impressive. Even our 1st line is running on 2/3 cylinders as Hirvonen (from my beloved team Ässät) still cannot capitalize any chances. I really hope he will step up!

A perfect team effort + superb goaltending would be required by Finland for an upset victory. Still, when the puck hits the ice, the game is 0 - 0 and everything is possible.

Realistically, 6- 1 for Canada. In fantasy, the game goes in OT.

Well, I fully expect that this will be our best game so far in the tournament - hard work, hard skating, disciplined defending, good goal tending, no quarter given. This might still not be enough against clear favourites and a much deeper team, but I will be satisfied if we play well and hard. And when it then will be best of one elimination matches, Finland will be one tough nut to crack. We usually really know when to peak in a tournament. (Hint, not against Germany in the round robin...)

Ah, it's been a while since I stayed up very late only to experience disappointment.. Well, hockey-related disappointment, at least.
 
bit surprising i am to helenius being at 4th line still. .i think he should play more and having more offens possibillities. the one goal he score also alone should be now that he has cemented as 1st round pick. he also should be taken at 1st 10 i say. as mickey mouses i know of likes of swedes weakers in name of raymond and holz as should rare possibillitydiamonds like helenius go very early and always before a mickey mouse. i ...my hockeybrained eye has still not discoveried anything nhlvalue in these 2 mickey mouse. stay play brave helenius. no offens

oh...and can-fin game tonight? hope referee dont decide this. anyway fin can easily win. can no special. fin can be better. i have not seen this. feeling something here. also lundell can like alone do this.

Whiffed on calls before already this year and have been underestimating Canada. I think they relatively easily take it, 3-1 with a nervy third period.

I think we are going to win today. But hoping that we lose today and Canada gets too arrogant and lose at semis. Either way we have better coaching this year compared to last year. And I’m littlebit less drunk so we are not going to lose 5-0 this time.
