Yup.
Canada was basically founded by the Scots and the Irish (...of course the French too in Quebec). Our fathers of confederation were predominately Scottish and Irish in the Atlantic Provinces and the West. The accent is prominent in the East Coast dialect.
So, St. Patrik is a good nickname Finns
.You may be right but in my opinion Laine isn't playing bad actually as RW. The opponent is rather weak of course. Possibly it would be better he plays LW especially against stronger teams.
And if it would be lets say a player like Pulkkinen on a wrong side it wouldnt get so much flack about it, but we as a hockey fans would like to see Laine used there where his best. Theres no rational reason imo to JJ on left and Laine on right.. But wth i know bout coachingm 
We have very good coaches in general, they just have some single flaws and these get often (over)criticized. For example in my opinion KJ is a fine coach, he just makes some weird decisions (see: no Markus Granlund in the team, Laine playing RW, Pulkkinen not on 2nd PP unit) that he won't switch easily.
Erkka Westerlund is the most complete Finnish coach IMO. The current uprising of Finns is mostly due to him (he initiated the change in Finnish junior coaching):

That was the moment, when Laine realized every one just plays his shot away. That means he can easily be a great passer, because that means the passing lane is wide open. Like theeydiddon that 2 on 1. They took shot 99% away and pass 1%. Great pass still and lindel should've scored open net.
After this situation he might be point scoring machine. "If you give me room I make perfect pass if you take that away I snipe it to shelf -mentality". Hard to play guy like that off when he can both snipe elite, pass elite plus deke elite. What every ou try to take away, other one becomes open.

Is there any Tappara fans here who could tell us about how Laine has been skating earlier this season? Cause I wouldn't make any conclusions based on this tournament. This is 92nd game for him this season and most of these games he has played against men as a 17 years old kid.

He is a beauty, and gets forgotten in this Laine vs Matthews fight that he is only 20y.
I can't stand Hietanen on the pp, what the ........... does he bring to the table there, bad decisions time after time.

Yep. He is worst shooter I recall from our blueline. He shoots 100 pucks, scores maybe 1 goal from those (and that is in the EHT or this kinds of game in WHC).
His shot is solid in theory. He just never scores a goal. All he does is wastes good chances when he could pass to laine or some one else for one timer. Hell, he should pass for any one else, just not shoot.
