I do not think the things look quite as dire as some make it sound. Sweden looked overpowering at the beginning, but that could be a matter of better preparation (Ahokas?) or nerves. Second half of the game was more or less even. Of course, there was too much perimiter play, much like last year (Ahokas?). That changed over the course of the game, so there is some hope there. Quite a few players actually looked quite strong in my opinion. At forward I would rank top performance 1. Kakko 2. Lundell/Kupari 3. Heponiemi. It did look like both Nyman and Tolvanen were dragging their lines down, so they must either step up, or Ahokas must make adjustments. I would say that already mentioned Talvitie can be promoted, I also thought Ylonen showed some nice speed, so he could also be a candidate. On defense I would rank performances as 1. Vaakanainen 2. Jokiharju 3. Laaksonen
