Who will get the start, Korpisalo or Säteri? Usually Yle Urheilu publishes the lines based on the morning skate but now I can't find any news about our goalies.

The morning skate was voluntary. Only a fraction of the team was present, and the management was tight-lipped about the lineup. So no word about the starting goalie yet.
 
The future is still bright, no need to overreact :D

Some times win, sometimes lose, always be winning :D


Marjamäki over choaches, lets see what he is made out of. Still plenty of games and everything is possible :D

Okay, thanks! I was planning to transfer Hiller to Säteri on my Leijonapörssi-team but maybe it is better to not loose one of my 11 transfers just to get a goalie today against Czech. Might have been a serious mistake, especially if Korpisalo continues later as no. 1 goalie :laugh:
 
I hope we get raanta

with korpisalo and this defense is the qf the most we can reach
 
Normally I'd be confident that after a completely BS game like yesterday we will come in hungry and win this, but with Marjamäki as the coach, I just can't see that happening.

Seriously, in yesterdays game when Finland won a FO in their own zone I could have brewn a full pot of coffee before they could reach offensive zone. I have never seen such slow starts in my life. Somebody please rip Marjamäki's playbook to pieces and throw it to Seine. And if he holds too tightly on it, Marjamäki too.

How is this a 2nd line in WHC? :laugh:

*shrug* Ask Marjamäki.


Well, actually... if you pluck Pihlström out of that and put in his stead a certain NHL centre already familiar with both JMA and Claywoman, it *would* suddenly look more like a WHC 2nd line.

Not really sure why Miro Aaltonen is 13th forward :confused:
 
Who would you have taken instead? Other than JMA over Palola, Marjamäki pretty much picked best players available.

Yeah it's not Marjamaki's fault there are not better players available but i would have Filppula and Aho as the top centers and Kemppainen and Sallinen as the bottom 6 centers.
