[Fixed to Ruin]

German power play is not good enough

Narf.

 

[jj cale]

Finland manages to pull it out.

 

[Zaar]

Changing perspective I can't see Finland challenge USA, In a worst case scenario for Germany Finland lose to Latvia ...

 

[king89]

Can't be happy about that win

 

[Jukurit]

Finland will get destroyed by USA and get eliminated in quarter-finals. This team is bad.

Yep.

Goaltending the only positive

Latvia have some interesting prospects this year. Murnieks the biggest one followed by Osmanis, Uljanskis, Mateiko, Berzkalns, Bulans. They can easily beat this shit Finnish team with their shit coach.
Rimpinen can't save their asses every game.
Feldbergs and Ozons should also be decent for Latvia against the European teams at least.

On paper this team should not be this bad so I blame coaching

This team is 4th or 5th best in player material along with Czechs, but they are playing similar levelish hockey atm as Switzerland Slovakia and Germany.. bad coach makes ok team bad. They should compete for bronze medal with this roster.

Mikkola is a bad coach but lets not kid ourself, that defense is horrible.

Yes it is but the talent upfront is the best since maybe 2019.

Pieniniemi - how has he looked so far? Bad against Canada but good against Germany?
