Now USA will wake up and completely dominate. I have this bad feeling. Thing is, we miss to many good opportunities. You can't do that every playoff game and especially not against the US in a final.

That ''defense'' in front of out own net scares me a lot.

It's like Finland-Canada 2016. Any goalie can't make a save for even saving their lives.

Finland's soft defense helped a lot that USA's 1st goal.
How freaking difficult it is clear that freaking rebound out of A class scoring sector.

Even beer league hockey players can do that.

What do we think of the goaltending so far?

Augustine made at least one good save.

Rimpinen let one softer in imo.

American here complaining about Augustine is pretty strange. Finland dominated the period and Kiiskinens goal was a good shot. Uronens was sneaky but not any worse than the goal Rimpinen let past him.
Finland should've scored at least 3 in this first period. I'm so worried about the next one.

Goaltending ok - I hate the second goal though. Augustine has all the tools. At his size though, he will have to make decisions about when to be on his feet and when to use his butterfly. From that distance, if he reacts he can stand up and that hits his blocker and goes in the corner. Also make some good saves down low and in tight.

Rimpinen not tested near as much. See what happens.
 
Good period Finland. Both goals may have been rush chances but that forecheck was impressive.

You are correct with this take. They've been soft and passive in front of the net during the tournament and especially against the NA teams.

Mostly they didn't score more because they screwed up their chance. Same so far in the 2nd
