It's funny that for example Bjorkqvist tries harder than some of the players who will be eligible next year.
 
If you go high on the 1st round you likely go to a bad team. Sneaky little devils.
 
Vehvi is the last person to blame for overall performance.

Rautakorpi is the second last.
 
The game is tied because those guys can't produce dangerous shots, let alone score a goal to save their lives.

We badly need Selanne to teach these guys to shoot/score but Vehvi could make a save.
 
"They will freeze the ice here now. Hopefully they don't freeze it quite as much as Finland's game."
 
Finnish players are so good they don't have to work. They can just take it easy and will win this tournament. Oh, wait...

Maybe some of the players went into the tournament with this mentality, with open jackets.

Maybe it wasn't all on the coaching staff after all.
 
I just came home and checked the match. This is the Latvia that got absolutely obliterated by everyone in Group B, right? If they're going to be 1-1 with the second period almost over, they can get relegated for all I care. They should win this 5-0 even without any coaching.

[MOD]

The Latvian group was incomparably tougher when compared with the Finland group. We faced 3 opponents more talented than ALL of the teams in the other pool.

There's no reason why Finland should steamroll Latvia if they lost to a worse Danish team.

The junior series in NA are overrated. At least our kids there are playing like scrubs.. outside tolvanen and björkqvist. Juolevi SHOULD be better but he doesnt play well..

Palmu having 20 goals in his league already? Wouldnt score 5 in mestis(fel2) season. Seen this game and two tape delays as base for this rant.
 
I love the ignorance and arrogance in your post (and others).

If we truly were better than denmark we would have beaten Slovakia and wouldnt be in this mess in the first place

One thing i've noticed that these guys can't shoot for **** compared to last years few guys.
 
Worst thing is that even Finns wouldnt' get relegated this year, much of this roster will be available for next year's tournament. :laugh:

Change the whole group. No way these guys wear lion jersey any time soon. No hustle none heart..

You are talking about ignorance...

but at the same tim you call Danish team worse than Latvian, even though that Denmark have clearly better team compared to Latvia at this years WJC. :laugh:

Check the roster pages. B group was NOT more talented than group A.

Not even close.
