Lmao the Swedish commentators are so salty that ”boring” Finland is winning, as though they wouldn’t win if they played more offensively. Player by player they are the better team.

Just ignore his posts, he is known to have bit... unusual opinions.
Now the real question is how good coach is Söderholm,: is he able to adapt his game plan accordingly. We know how good Jalonen is when it comes to defending a lead with that suffocating defence.
Maybe in your mind. I would gladly trade all those IIHF gold medals for a single Best-on-best tournament gold medal, which we have yet to have achieve. So all hopes for 2022 Olympics (assuming NHL is in), and I think we all know Anttila has now business to be in best-on-best teams.
Don't want to sound salty, but just willing to accept the reality of this particular tournament

Posession in their own end or in the boards of our end is useless. If they cant create any scoring chances its not bad defending at all..Defense wins championships
Fair enough . Actually i am aware that among Finns, my opinion would be the minority. Probably.
Of that happens he definitely should get a spot in the Olympic team even tho he isn't the best choice on paper.

He would be the only member of "two gold captains" and a legend
Last year he started scoring when it was needed, if we would make it to Final Id expect him do rack an important point or goal there

100% of my coworkers don't even know that this isn't a best on best tournament.

I've never really understood the Swedish/Finish relationship.
It's certainly Love/Hate.

As much as i like your enthusiasm - this would be such a bad idea. By then he is 37 years old and imagine what will happen if he has to meet players like Connor McDavid or Nathan MacKinnon..

As always one of the best Germans. Had two great scoring chances and would have been nice if he scored on at least one.
Yeah many european viewers have no idea that its not a best on best tournament and they also have no idea who the NHL players are that each team is missing and how much better they are.

Tell that to my 6-7 year old kids, 57 year old mother or 67 year old dad. Those are the casual viewers.

They aren't much better as is evident each year in this very tournament. But yeah enough for the OT for me.
