How the hell they forgot how to play when they travelled to Sweden. Games vs USA and Slovakia last week were decent, at least on the defensive end.
They didn't. For some reason that Canada game completely destroyed everything, i mean how can you go from playing amazing hockey to complete trash in 15 minutes?
There's gotta be something else going on with that team behind the scenes. I don't want to throw Marttila under the bus (already did that though in my previous post) but he has failed miserably. Every coach beats him 100-0 and he has no remedies, none.
Second is goaltending, usually not the part to where Finland falls. They have zero confidence and team has zero confidence on them. Everyone can imagine how frustrating it is for these players.
Seems like other teams are playing as a unit and Finland as an individuals, it's terrible to watch. Talented kids trying to force plays when they don't have any idea what to do with their linemates.
Marttila was exposed by Canada and other teams noticed these weaknesses aswell. After that game, it was a time to react, but no, nothing happened. That started this snowball effect and this tournament is heading towards disaster.
