And Leevi Aaltonen should now be at 2+1=3 if I saw correctly and he got a secondary assist on Kupari's last goal.
 
I don't know why they have these plugs on PP.

Ranta-Salonen-Killinen? You wouldn't believe we are on PP even if I told you.

And Killinen his 3rd stupid penalty of the match. Nice PP, coach.

OK. Good for Kärpät if / when Kupari is staying.
I have to buy a ticket for one HIFK vs Kärpät liiga game to see Kupari and Nordgren playing in same game.

It hasn't been confirmed that he is staying but I think he would've went a lot earlier and to a better club in the Import Draft if he was intereted on playing in the CHL.

Kärpät only has Ruohomaa, Lasu, Humaloja and Koskenkorva at center so we should certainly get a shot at getting a spot on the team.

Do you see Kupari has chances to compete roster spot for Finland's world junior team?.

I don't know what's wrong with Canada but usually they have been best team in Hlinka Tournament.
If i'm not mistaken Hlinka tournament is only tournament where Canada has their best players.

Of course it's good for Finland if Canada isn't so good this year.
Finland hasn't much succeed in Hlinka tournament last years actually 4th place ( 2015) could be Finland's best result in this tourney.
 
It's too bad Canada left it's best '00 goalie at home. Jacob Ingham is pretty easily the #1 goalie in the country.

Russian 00 team/crop is very good, so not sure, if Canada is that weak this year.
 
They still really enjoy the awful camera angles, I see. Wish they just never changed the angle from the clear isometric view.

Boy was Nousiainen soft on that goal.


Iivari Räsänen has been consistently terrible. Rannisto probably even more so.

Honka has some ability with the puck but his passing has been bad.


Killinen is awful. The central stategy has to revolve around avoiding passing the puck to him.



It must be no coincidence that all the players who look terrible to the eye test are also taking all the stupid penalties.



3v5 for sure, but that second goal was incorrectly played by the goalie.
