Pulju was terrible in the practise games I saw.
That said, he should probably get a shot in the next game considering how terrible we're playing.

Lol, now another French goal.

The thing is the whole team was.
He hasn't been given the chance to play and prove himself now that he's used to the change.
 
So, shall we raise our Karjala Cup and cheer for four more years of this coach?
You can ask me about that once the tournament is over. Like I've said, these games matter. If the result is bad here, Marjamäki shouldn't be treated with silk gloves.
 
Hopefully they can now get rid of Marjapussi, maybe already during the tournament or if it's possible, before the 3rd period.
 
Oh god... pihlström is center on 2nd line... yeah gg will only watch due to rantanen aho...and pulju..

Put pulju aho rantanen on one line give them free reign to be creative and coach the rest of the team^^
 
Another god-awful Mickey Mouse Finnish team where they're passing the puck as if they're passing responsibility. None of them wants to decide the game, they want someone else to decide the game. Hopefully the French give them hell for it.
 
Why didn't Honka play on that 5 on 3? Not only did you overstack your left handers, but Honka is your best offensive defensemen, regardless of handedness. Can someone enlighten me on the logic behind this? Is Finland's coaching just this bad?
 
What's the dance music song that plays after every Finnish goal? Post pumping stuff no doubt! Lol
 
Respect to france. :)

But im now happy there wont be nhl in olympics..that would be humiliating :p seriously tho offense MUST get going. They looked toothless against france so far
 
It was a pun. Antoine Roussel's nickname is 'Rooster'.

Also, not having Lindell is a net positive.

The truth is, most championships in all of hockey are won by NOT having Lindell on the team. Finland tried their luck and failed miserably.
 
Hahaha Pulju leading finnish player of the game voting by huge margin, at least the fans haven't lost their sense of humor

Haha thats awesome.

Reminds me of the irish and their "will griggs on fire" chants in the euros haha
 
I went to put our roosters in as an anti-jinx. It was cocky of me to leave them out to begin with. All hail hockey gods!

Well, there are some clear signs of incompetence that would disqualify anyone to coach in the regional leagues on the spot

For instance, even my wife knows that something must go really wrong when Pihlström is the second center of your team.
 
How much can it be on coaching though? Not trying to defend Marja

Yea, not sure the coaching is leading to all those turnovers and defensive breakdowns....like to see if the coaching staff can push the offense a little more.
