What the hell is going on with Finland's first line? 
Are Peltonen and OJ half asleep or something?

Kallio...When the hell is he going to start practicing breakaway shooting?? Brutal, absolutely brutal once again.
Hagman looks like crap in the own end, Saravo shouldn't be near the finnish bench, even as a tourist.
Please don't put Nummelin or Timonen on PK, they just suck.
I'm starting to dislike Westerlund's coaching, some really stupid decisions.

Everytime when Kallio gets puck, it burns on his stick somehow. Always loses it or something.
Finns should be able to get into a powerplay in the 3rd. That will help them get some organization into the attack...Where is Timmonen's shot?...which was so good in the World Cup.

I'm not watching, but if Modano is playing as bandly as I'm reading here, maybe they should give Parise a shot.

OJ has been really awful these past couple of games. Maybe his shoulder injury holds him back? We really needs these guys, OJ and his line, to contribute. Otherwise we're in deep doo-doo in these hard games.Kain said:What the hell is going on with Finland's first line?
Before the USA runs Modano all the way back to Livonia,they should try him with some other players...Gionta,York,Legwand there are players who could work with Mo'...but Cole is trying to do too much himself...he's not working the puck over to Mo' at all,instead electing to drive to the net and take on 2 and 3 players at once.
Nice rush by USA...Gionta continues to weave and dangle...Backstrom is solid in net today for the Finns.

The whole team is playing too sloppy. Erkka should have considered some major line changes. He should've given J. Jokinen more of a chance. In one of the EHT tournaments the Jussi and OJ were in the first line and they produced well. He's good in tense situations. Erkka should have more faith in Jussi and give him some real ice time. Instead, he continues with pretty similar lines and puts Saravo back on the ice.
Has OJ also a shoulder injury?Padawan said:OJ has been really awful these past couple of games. Maybe his shoulder injury holds him back? We really needs these guys, OJ and his line, to contribute. Otherwise we're in deep doo-doo in these hard games.
