MIG really playing despite the jetlag?

And also I like all the lines.

 

[GX]

As expected, no changes for Latvia - Elvis in net. I hope the forward lines will be shuffled - both Dzerins and Smirnovs units were mostly invisible the entire US game.

 

[Husqvarna]

Hope the real Harri Säteri of Olympic (gold) fame will turn up this game against Latvija - and not the lone one coyote of prairie dog Arizona ... fame.

Otherwise the spot is open for Jussi Olkinuora to grab.

Where is Jokiharju?

MiG is a plane. Plane is a machine. Machines don't have jetlag, but maybe he is out of fuel.

Okay that was bad joke . Granny Smith Apples is a better nick name for him anyways. I don't know if he's an apple himself or is he an actual granny who shares apples with those saucer passes. He's kind of good at that.

Latvia has sometimes caused Finland trouble, but I think that it will go better this time. At some point of the game our 13th forward Innala might get minutes, maybe when he replaces Rajala. If Finland struggles with scoring, then Innala will replace someone at some point of the game for sure. That's the good side of running only 7 d-men that we got a 13th forward and Innala was good in the last game.

Covid and out of the team

 

[FinPanda]

Armia has seriously grew up as a man. How he talks etc just gives me good vibes.

 

[GX]

So, no Kulda - our struggling D will try to survive with one less body. No offensive line changes, at least on paper

That’s too bad. But they haven’t ruled out the possibility of him coming back?

They did rule him out, so he won't be playing at all.

Really? That just sucks. Well if Dallas is eliminated what are the chances that you get Heiskanen/Lindell or both?

One of those two. And one forward spot is still open.

 

[Phil McKraken]

Elvis will have to play better than yesterday if Latvia is going to have a chance.

 

[FinPanda]

Granlund is so good.. oh we knew that already

 

[Phil McKraken]

Latvia goal. Get ready for trap city now.

 

[karhukissa]

Hartikainen is a beast. Finland is playing well, goal is only a matter of time

Ah so two spots left? Well hintz/aho would be godsends

 

[GX]

Elvis hasn't really had a chance to have his word yet - but he'll have it surely, our defense can't sustain that much defensive zone time without bigger mistakes.

 

[FinPanda]

One Dn one forward

 

[karhukissa]

Holy smokes

 

[Zub]

Finland protecting the puck in the ozone for days but never go for any plays, cmon now.

I thought you couldn't care less about this tournament why are you torturing yourself?

 

[FinPanda]

Quite poor game so far from Finns.

The focus isn't there

I don't unless we get to the finals
