Finns have done very well medaling since 1998. No Golds though.
Look, I'm not against Finland I've been very complimentary I was recommending humility. But be arrogant against Russia.
Good Luck!
Stop saying we. Who gave you right to speak for all of us? Just shut up please.
More Russians would walk in to Team Finland, than Finns walk into Team Russia.
In fact, put Jukka Jalonen as coach of Russia, and watch them steamroll the world cup.
No gold but the same goes for Russia... how is it that arrogant?
If that is arrogant then every single Canadian on this forum is arrogant...

With that defense they are not going anywhere against the best players in the world.

Ehh we have our moments. But we have results to back it up.
I think if you actually met an average Canadian hockey fan in real life (not just HF internet posters) you would like them and enjoy talking hockey together. We'll talk with fans from any country.
Not technically best on best...still Suomi has won 2 outa the last 3 world jr's, plus was golden again at this year's U18's. Add to this the fact that they beat/eliminated a highly touted RUS A-team at Sochi...
Finns don't give these Russians any quarter...take away their time/space...knock them from pillar to post...beat them like rented mules!
To refresh the memory of the 2014 scandal in Minsk:
- Malking cross checks Haula, Haula's jaw is shattered. Should be automatic 5 min, Russia gets nothing.
- Finland leads 2-1, suddenly Finns are being called penalties from all kind of ridiculous situations. For example a Russian player trips himself and Immonen gets a penalty without touching. Russia ends up scoring 4 power play goals in the match and wins 5-2. Afterwards, the head referee of the game, Lars Brüeggemann got the most expensive contract in KHL history, probably just a coincidence.
- Russian coach Oleg Znarok was sanctioned before the match and was prohibited to attend the game. Nevertheless, everybody saw that he still led the team from the grandstand via walkie-talkie. After the game ended, he went on the ice to get his medal, which he received from Rene Fasel itself. By the book, these actions should not have been possible but nobody batted an eye.
Rene Fasel and Putin hugging after the game, the correct result was achieved. Mind you Finland had just knocked out Russia out in Sochi, which was huge embarrassement so everything was made to ensure it won't repeat. It's just not proper behaviour for IIHF president to be this biased towards the other team.
In my opinion the game was the most blatant display of corruption in a plain sight. I swore after the game I won't ever see an another match of IIHF, but alas, I like hockey too much.

Not disputing them being on the rise and doing very well.
Just observing the difference from what you usually see before a Finnish game. It was a friendly warning in good faith.

The good thing with those huge superstars in opponent's POW is that it's really really really difficult for the coach to not put them on the ice all the time if it is the ending minutes and the game's still tight. That can end up being the game breaker.
It if of course debatable if you want to play against Ovechkin all the time at that time.
Game of the tournament so far! Russia in the finals against Canada would be sweet. But I can't cheer for Russia in this game so here's a wish for better team to win! Let's go hockey!

We are fielding 13FW and 7D, so one line will be listed as having too much forwards. It should be read as Mozyakin-Datsyuk-Sannikov line + Orlov as 7-th D and Plotnikov as 13-th FW.

Ok, thanks. Usually the IIHF page would put that at the bottom of the lineup, but they've declared it as the 2nd unit.

I'd say Russia and Finland should be considered roughly equal as hockey powers, but hey, that's just me.

Check out his username. His just a troll.
Just wish I could say the same about all the so-called journalists who are already crying about the refs being bribed and ****.
