I think Järventie isn't the right player in the second line at the moment. His playing without the puck isn't meshing with Lambert-Pärssinen at all. I'm not sure what's the real issue but it seems to me he hasn't been active enough to make him playable or supporting in the corners to get better puck cycling going. I think Pärssinen isn't really the issue there. I'm not sure if there's fitting player for switching Järventie but to me guy like Räty might work better there.

Honestly though I thought this was pretty good game from Finnish team. Simontaival seemed to be more engaged and confident with the puck today which was good to see.

Mikael Renberg in SVT studio impressed of Anton Lundell giving interview in swedish (Anton's mother tongue).

It is so embarrassing when swedes do this xD Kasper Björkqvist some years ago too.. How can they not know about Finland's swedish speakers?

This is the first time I am seeing Lambert in full game and damn is he great

Räty needs to get respect from Kärpät when he gets back. A special player. Otherwise the Räty brothers should do a Granlund and leave for another organization than the one I love.

Kärpät was doing the right thing, if you are not up to their standards you don't play. That's the way it's done in professional sports.

They were both better than the options, really..

Räty hasn't been deserving the respect though. Outside of him standing infront of the net the right times once for 2 games he's overall play is exrtremely poor.

Agreed, very impressive for a D-1 player. I can see him being a contender for 2nd overall in 2022, though it’s going to be highly competitive, shaping up to be a strong draft.

I would not say extremely poor. He has been decent.

Guess we have different standards, but i respect your opinion, because he can be decent in the ozone near the crase, but overall it s a different story.

 

[FinPanda]

Btw I got Aittokallio nightmares from some of Taponen's play with the stick behind the net.

 

[CheldishGamibno]

That Heinola goal line play, I've rarely seen that

U18s cancelled

Not yet.

Edit: Nevermind. I see it was already covered.

What the... It looks like he did it on purpose? WHY?!

I don't think he did it on purpose, looks like he lost control for a little while lol

Otherwise he is kind of an acehole
