Haven't really paid attention to this tournament. Any super prospects in team Sweden?

I think it's pretty interesting that he starts Rimpinen again... Sweden are clear favorites after Finlands showings and especially against the US.

Sweden dominates straight form the beginning. What a shitshow this Finnish team is with it's coaching staff, goalie and defending.

Hemming... Can pass or take a good shot. He shoots right on Härenstam making it easy for them. Can this guy please show some spirit and cheekiness in this game. Or is he this gray of a player.

I also hope if Rimpinen hasn't at least 10 saves before he lets the next goal in that the coach wakes the f*ck up and makes a change. Both to wake the team up but also because you can't win shit with a goalie letting in 8-10 goals in one and a half game.

Härenstam has impressed in the beginning of this game. Looks a bit too good against us.
Saarelainen easily the best Finnish player in this tournament.

Does Kiviharju seriously possess anything special besides that no look pass? Like that makes any difference anyhow... He's seriously underwhelming so far.

Clear interference. Another Finn was close to the puck.
Well, you are right. My bad. But... I do think he fell a bit to easily even if the action was stupid by the finn.

Aatos, Shoots when he could've easily make a move before shooting. Not impressed by him so far.

I know the injuries he's had but still......................................... haven't seen the high promise with him.

Yep, you are right. I don't even see a second rounder at the moment. A complete non factor against the US and Sweden. If it's the injury or not, he's clearly overrated for now. Because honestly, what role would he ever fill in the NHL after his showcasing in this tournament?

Helenius has been a bit too anonymous in this game for my liking. And Härenstam looking like promised for his first game in the tournament. Of course, against Finland lol.

I mean how is Veeti Väisänen or Kiviharju so highly touted? They haven't even been better than Mitja Jokinen nor Nykyri in these last games.

If Teshome can develop his hockey-IQ I could see something little in him. He skates and dangles and at least tries to create something.
