Uh, Finland's last game lineup had Jere Sallinen as 3C over Eetu Luostarinen, who's out of the tournament with a knee injury.

 

[Stubu]

Team Germany actually looks better than Team Finland

[Stubu]

There. Enough nega juju. Now Kakki ends up in New Yorko, not old jersey. 0+0, sorry.

I forgot to say, Germany wins 8-2, and Kuhnhackl scores most of them.

 

[Stubu]

No takers? Kuhnhackl family is scary and we know how to take it up the exhaust pipe in fluent rally English. But I expected more... well, Canadians and stuff. Hello Czecho? Lithuania? Poland? Are we too European these days, Brits relegating after this game and all

Ilomaki as 1C. Why oh why not Kakka Kaappi. (Because lines don't matter in these tourneys. But still.)

 

[Lambo]

There. Enough nega juju. Now Kakki ends up in New Yorko, not old jersey. 0+0, sorry.

Cheers!

 

[Stubu]

Prediction: Draisaitl TOI 20+, Kakko TOI 14+, unpredictable results, Anttila penalty, high feelbad/bettings ratio.

 

[Lambo]

Finns win 2:0

 

[Stubu]

Cheers!

(Don't tell anyone I'm a-jinxin' it the best I can)

Finland needs to show up. If they arrive with the sort of effort we saw vs France, this'll be over before it even gets to fully begin.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

I hope Germany plays really well, because...maybe that will force Kaapo Kakko to start playing better.

 

[Kratti]

Game is at noon, not much at stake for either team... Promises to be an extremely forgettable game.

Well, the real games start Thursday, so there's that. Not long now.

Why is it not much at stake? Please tell me.

[Kratti]

Why is it not much at stake? Please tell me.

Because both teams have already qualified for the quarterfinals.

Finland can finish either 1st or 2nd in the group and Germany can finish either 3rd or 4th.

 

[FiLe]

FIN lineup.

Lankinen (Olkinuora)

Lehtonen - Ohtamaa
Lindbohm - Jokiharju
Mikkola - Kaski
Koivisto - Hakanpää

Rajala - Tyrväinen - Ojamäki
Pesonen - Manninen - Kakko
Savinainen - Sallinen - Kuusela
Kiviranta - Lammikko - Anttila

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Because both teams have already qualified for the quarterfinals.

Finland can finish either 1st or 2nd in the group and Germany can finish either 3rd or 4th.

So if Germany wins, they will rematch in the quarterfinals, correct?

 

[Kratti]

So if Germany wins, they will rematch in the quarterfinals, correct?

No, groups cross in the quarters: A1 will play B4 and so on.

 

[FinPanda]

Most likely Sweden if we lose, most likely Switzerland if we win.
