nuti should be on pp1 and 1st pairing

This. Pokka should be in Siberia.

Has Honka lost all ability to make simple passes? He has already had two of these bad giveaways.

 

[DoubleGold]

Great play by Anttila. He's so f***ing big .

He's pretty bad. Dude hasn't improved in the past couple of years, almost degraded.

nuti should be on pp1 and 1st pairing

He's good enough to run a #1PP in the NHL, and he's the 3rd option in Columbus. Not sure he will ever get a chance to put up the #'s he is capable of there.

He has had some better games in this tournament, but he looks lost today.

 

[Finnswiss]

So far a very fair game no penalties.

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

Kapanen promoted to Aho-line?

I honestly forgot that he was playing.

 

[Ippenator]

A bit surprisingly shaky start for Heiskanen so far. Maybe because of Pokka being lost and also some nervousness?

 

[Saekk]

Honka and Pokka can pay for my heart meds i'm gonna need after this tourney.

A little nervous but I'm sure playing with Pokka doesn't help.

 

[Ippenator]

Nuti has been so far the king of the game. Koivisto also surprisingly good. And I’m not saying this only because of the magnificent goal they created.

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

I honestly forgot that he was playing.

Can’t forget him when he’s giving away possession with those rink-wide passes to no-one. I swear he has not connected even one breakout pass.

Nuti - Heiskanen would be a killer pair.
But then again Koivisto - Pokka would be a disaster so...

It is funny how we have 4 good D (Riikola, Nutivaara, Heiskanen & Koivisto) and 2 who shouldn't play (Honka, Pokka) and 1 who have been ok (Kivistö).

Koivisto has been surprisingly steady. Maybe it is just my prejudice for players with that last name though..

 

[TheFinnishTrap]

I’d like a quick insurance goal here.

 

[Finnswiss]

The Swis begun well but after the goal of Nutivaraa Finns could control more or less the game.

Heiskanen has been way more than just _ok_
Just because he isn't scoring doesn't mean he isn't contributing. He is not going to light up the scoreboards, especially with an offensive partner. And that is not his play style either. He is the positional and stickwork wizard that plays like the rounded modern defender. Get used to it.

 

[ChicagoBullsFan]

Somehow i have a bad feeling of this game.
Switzerland really has been so difficult opponent to Finland as expected.
Overtime and possibly shootout contest wouldn't be surprise tonight.

I was thinking where to put Heiskanen, he has been good I know, I almost put him with Riikola, Koivisto and Nutivaara. I didn't put him there because of offensive game because I think mostly how they play defensively.

Sorry if I made you angry. I don't think Heiskanen has been bad in any way. I changed it.

 

[DoubleGold]

f***ing Kapanen...

 

[DoubleGold]

Thank god for Säteri.

 

[Finnswiss]

Säteri still very solid by the Finns.
