Opinions by a finnish dude after the game:
Expected easier win for Team Canada over very weak Team Finland (we have 2 NHL players, 4 if you want to count Puustinen and Puljujärvi as NHL players), but who cares if they get the job done i guess.
One thing that caught my eye is how slow and honestly just bad Parayko was when Finland played the dump and chase. More often than not he had the time and space to make a easy first pass, but took his time handling the puck and sometimes even lost it to what i would call a weak forecheck. I will admit i havent seen many Blues games in recent lets say 2 years, but that game made me worried that he has 5 more years at 6.5mil AAV? He looked sometimes like his both thumbs are broken (which obviously is not the case since he came to this tournament), and missed the easiest one touch passes in the d-zone but maybe im just overthinking. Would love to hear opinions by Canadian fans of his play.
On another note, at least some Finnish players have said that the ice is really bad, especially along the boards so maybe it's just that.
Edit: opinions by Canadian fans, not Canadiens fans hahah
