Brainfarts by Fehervary and Nemec not helping Slovakia. They should know better.
Slovak PP is so pathetic that they should forfeit any future man advantage.
 
I don’t think there is an offensively weaker player in the whole tournament than Lammikko. Man the dude sucks offensively! Just zero amount of skill.

*looks at guys playing C for this Slovak team*

Nah man, I think he should.
I mean in general for a NT. Obviously we don’t have anyone better here. We haven’t had a real quality C in years. Heck I’d be happy with even just Kopecky at his “peak.” :laugh:

I believe over course of tournament. We’ve given up more short handed chances than we have had overall good powerplay chances
 
Armia has hands down the best wrister on this team.

The thing is, Armia is a decent stickhandler as well. A lot stronger than Granny and Manninen in the corners and a bigger presence in front of the net.
Armias goal against Czechia was a beauty.
He´s a bit like our own Regenda, a bit underrated. If Armia gets a bit more time he´ll hopefully score in the third.

He has a good wrister for sure, but I can assure that Rajala is in the same class with his wrister. And generally I think Rajala can get his shot off quicker and is more accurate than Armia. In my opinion Rajala has in fact probably the best wrister in team Finland when taking into account all these details.

Yeah, that's what I mean. Guy gets so much hate just because Slovakia has nothing better. Like it's his fault. Too short, too weak, too bad, etc. Well, tough shit.

Granny has been bad in our PP. Manninen pretty meh as well. Härski is untouchable with his strength, grit and ice cold mentality.
Get Armia or Rajala instead of Granny. He`s trying to much and Manninen is a bit invisible.

Yeah best player by a country mile should be benched because he had 2 shifts you didn't like, absolutely. Might as well remove him from the team. Heiskanen took a penalty, probably shouldn't play again either.

Wtf are these takes....

Lets go boys! Either I'm 50 euros richer (low bet since I'm not exactly rich) or Finland will play in the semifinal.

I'd prefer Finns to win.

From the PP. Or just let the second unit get some time. I think Granlund holds the puck too long and sometimes misses the right time to shoot. Always a second late or two. Same thing when trying with the final pass. He needs to play easier and faster. Otherwise, let him play like usual.

About Heiskanen? Well, i´ve not mentioned him but he hasn´t been good in this game so i don´t understand your point? Should everyone lick his ass and claim he´s been good? He seems nervous or something? But of course i do think he should play and a lot, just because he´s the best D we have if he gets it going.

I´m allergic against people who cant criticize players or leaders with the highest status when they are not performing. They should have even higher expectations. Simple as that.
 
Anyones game. If you had asked Slovak fans if they would be o.k with a 2-2 tie going into the 3rd against the Finns I'm confident they all would have said yes.. Now all it takes is one bad play, one bad penalty at a bad time and the Slovaks score and the rest is history.

Should be a great third.

It's one thing to criticize them and another to suggest taking away their ice time. They are there for a reason and Rajalas of this world aren't even close. It's insane to have so little faith in your best guys.
