Conventional wisdom gives this to Sweden. They're a stronger team and tend to have Finland's number more often than not.
But in those times where they do not have that number, it's often for the dumbest of reasons. Today could be one of those days.

Mine's actually a very much closer translation AND I USED SWEDISH.
This and the D-men in the 2019 team was not good, while this teams have the best D-men of the tournament. I'm not the least worried. Finland will get smashed biggly tonight.

Yup. No team over there can even come close to this Sweden club. That’s pretty close to their best possible team.

I have a feeling we losing this game, it will hurt but atleast we have won the tourney many times before.
No it would absolutely not be okay to lose this game in any way shape or form considering the massive talent gap. Sweden might lose but it’s not okay.

I know we are not Finland but still we should not let this slip. It's an easy gold with shit opposition.

Like from our best-on-best roster this team has 2 players, Granlund & Määttä.
The talent gap is massive and it would be one of the biggest surprises in the tournament if we manage to win.

For us its 10
Hedman
Brodin
Karlsson
Dahlin
Raymond
Eriksson Ek
Kempe
Ersson/Gustafsson
And Landeskog, if healthy
You mean one?
Possibly Carlsson and Eklund. Also Zetterlund is a dark horse to crack a best on best. So versatile.

Well then, seeing as the joy of playing shines all the way to Alahärmä, we've got nothing to worry about.
Dude, we're still missing like our 5-6 best forwards, our best goalie and a couple of our best defensemen...
