Kotkaniemi probably is now ahead of Kapanen, Armia, Haula

Sweden and Finland are both well-known for their strong ice hockey programs, and both countries have produced numerous elite forwards over the years.
Historically, Sweden has had a slightly stronger ice hockey program than Finland, with more Olympic and World Championship medals and a higher number of NHL players. However, both countries are considered among the top ice hockey nations in the world.

Hallam is the best coach Sweden has had at any level since Rönnberg. So its actually pretty decent now. But the finnish coaching is most likely better.
This is so weird. Looking at the swedish vs finnish forwards now compared to last season is so different. The breakout of Pettersson and Barkov’s weak season makes this look a lot different thats for sure. Why does one player here or there cause this? We need stability.
Imagine a combined Team though, a Swinland if you will

Sweden’s forward depth was always good over these last few years but just a year ago I preferred Finland’s top-6.
Would have been so interesting seeing the 2018 and 2022 Olympics with NHLers, it feels sad especially for Finland not getting to see this great generation compete in best on bests. Not that the very successful, Euro heavy national teams aren’t a valid source of pride, but you want everyone’s best players out there and I think Finland would have fared great.

My friend's dad said it best "they played high end hockey in Sweden before there were indoor toilets in Finland".
Sweden will always have better team on paper but luckily for us hockey games aren't settle on paper. And even more luckily for us there ain't best of seven series in tournaments, anything and everything can happen in a single hockey game. With the population of 5,5 million citizen Finland is doing great in hockey. But im worried because cost living is on the rise and hockey has always been expensive hobby, how's the current climate going effect success in a long run? People in Finland might have to prepare for drough.

Hehe, not that anything you said was stupid it was just a bit computer generated. You don’t need to analyze things so much before you post.I got burned faster than I thought, huh. Wanted to appear smarter than I am
Thankfully that usually means people have more money. But sure hockeys sustainability compared to other sports is an issue.

Fair enough. But this is not a unique problem for Finland. So unfortunately its likely that we’ll see soccer gain more ground in hockey heavy areas.Where the hell my money goes then ?
