Räty looks amazing. Skates circles around the opposition and makes very creative passes to his linemates for grade A chances. Also plays quite well in the defensive end. He and Lambert stand out clearly with their creativity, although Lambert has been a bit more of mixed bag this game. Great goal and some great passing, but also some careless moves in his own end and forced cross-ice passes on the powerplay. Still, almost every shift he shows why he is probably the most talented player on the ice.
Besides them, two players that look intriguing are Suni and Rafkin. Suni is huge, but looks like a smooth skater and has a soft pair of hands. Rafkin has also displayed some nice poise and skills from the backend.

Sure, this year attendance is pretty solid if I compare with last years when tournament was in Piestany. Few years ago free entrance and nobody except scouts and agents, this year each game for 3€ and better atmosphere specially at slovak games.

Unfair groups imo.
Sweden russia usa fighting for one playoff spot while Finland canada are miles ahead of others.
Atleast nybeck scores.

Man, these kids are srsly fun to watch. Before the tournament I wasnt ready to put too much weight for their shoulders, but it looks like they have quite wide shoulders indeed to carry this group.

Raty looked really good against Canada as well.
He’s got some good skating and stick handling ability.

They're playing so uninspired. No idea why the Grans - Andrae pairing got split either when it was fantastic last year.

What I like the most are his quick and creative passes, he's always a step or two ahead. Looks like the best Finnish center prospect since Barkov, crazy to think Lambert might take that throne just a year later.

Looks like they do not know how to play without Holtz and Raymond. Very little offensive skills displayed in these game. Only thing I like is that there are several forwards willing to drive the net. Eklund and Nybeck are the only ones able to control the puck long enough to find passing options. They have been moderately successful at that though.

Yeah the Finns are pumping out a high end offensive player almost every year it seems like.
With Wright, Savoie, and Lambert the top end of 2022 is shaping up nicely.
The Czech tournament site has text report links (that strange looking symbol):
