Hockey on the big ice is boring unless the viewer has a team they pull for.
All hockey should be on the NA ice.

He isn't bad, but he isn't that great. I would say he is slightly below the usual standard of goalies we have at this tournament. Had a good game against Germany and looked alright against Finland and Switzerland. Poor against Latvia.

Let's swap goalies then ;). Gimme some Hävelid.

I believe it's slowly going that way. I think that Finland's upcoming men's WHC tournament is for the first time after a long time on small ice and I think that they are planning to keep it that way. Now the European leagues need to follow.

I've always said I don't care which way we go.. Just give me the same size on both sides of the ocean.

I do think small hockey means more skill and speed.

Opted against watching this instead of having to watch it on SVT who despite having money thrown at them from the Government can’t be bothered to remove the NA color guys in the background let alone create a decent streaming service.

They did remove the NA commentators just so you know.

True. NBA 3 point line is another one of these things. Why it has to be so :)?

Well he missed the puck.

But in reality, the chance that came after wasn't that challenging, Leinonen just somehow managed to miss the puck that was slowly moving towards him.

Yeah he overplayed it and lost vision on the puck.
 
Finland's offensive game's so terrible. Like there's no offensive system. Just challenge 1v1 or hold onto the puck until you lose it. How many times has Finland played the puck back to a defenseman? It's like the most standard, basic play of offense isn't even in their playbook.

Went back in have too watch it on my phone browser though their apps are pure shit. The TV apps are the worst and on the computer everything turns into a pixel-nightmare that is unwatchable. Completely unacceptable when your yearly budget is roughly 15% of the swedish army budget.
 
Why does Finland get penalty for cross check to lower back that causes Swedish player to fall but Sweden does not get penalty for cross check to lower back that causes Finnish player to fall?
 
We are going too defensive now. Can’t invite too much pressure.
