Seriously I nearly fell out of the chair while reading this. But then again it's great to have some good laugh in the "morning" to start up the day after watching some hockey (had a late night and woke up at 3pm).
I thought I'd reply to this non-sense to it's full context, but you don't seem to have all the facts straight either and vast majority of this post is has little contextual value. First of all I never listed any particular "reasons" why the team reached semi-finals (and now of course the Finals) so what are you even talking about? The points referring to this roller coast we've witnessed so far of which I pointed out earlier, such as i) having heck of a fortune to beat Canada (with the bounce in the dying minutes) ii) Coaching staff being half-incompetent are both valid, although the latter remains as an opinion, but I've stated enough facts from the past (both recent and now) to back that one up. Sure still, it's everyone's freedom of choice to think differently.
Yeah I forgot the goal against Kazakhstan cause games against low tier countries are boresome and one--sided, and despite that I do watch every single Finnish WJC game, I often follow these games being half-arsed with semi-focus. Anyway, since you clearly seem to "know better", you should be aware that the goal against Slovakia was on the PP, which has whatsoever to do with 5vs5 game. Now you were referring to a discussion prior to the game vs Canada, I thought all had agreed that they scored against Canada so why even bother bring it up? So in the end what does that leave us with? Yes you're half right, half wrong, since after all they did score that one goal against the hockey power house nation known as Kazakhstan! Shame of me to forget this thrilling achievement, gah!
Hello? I was pointing out to how many chances Tolvanen failed to bury, not the opposite. After all the topic of the discussion was about individual weaknesses & inability to perform regarding these young players, as you so generously started with the statement of Kakko "not being good enough" to warrant more minutes (in this particular case compared to an average 3rd liner)in a game with a back against the wall with the team trailing. Considering that he had been performing better than most of our forwards up to that point so for someone to come up with an opinion like that, it just falls in the same category with the rest of the ludicrous pieces you came up with afterwards, starting first about "PuLaAho vs Kakko-Lundell" and now apparently some "utopian worship of players", which both are presented without any whatsoever concrete validation or factual basis, ha. Geez, almost as if you were a psychic. Anyway, well done pal!
Now with that said, the team just had their best game of the tournament and even though the Swiss were by far the inferior team, I hope this accomplishment raised the believe in their own abilities. That could be a major asset going into the gold game against USA. They need every piece of self-confidence to come out victorious from that game.
