I hope Pulkkinen can show a bit more physicality in the next game. I actually like that he got a bit mad there, this team will need some fire further on. Of course being clever when being physical.
Helenius a complete non factor in this game. Nyman will need more ice time in some games, he shows that he is one of those few who can lead his team in this tournament.
Salin bad. Kulonummi pretty meh. Pieniniemi was weak sometimes.
Kokko is the only one who gets a pass.
No medal for us this year. It's between the US, Sweden and perhaps Canada with Slovakia being the dark horse for a medal.

Mentioned earlier in the game that Kulonummi stood out for me. He looks like a pro, moves well and shows composure

Nate the Great
nice game from him
Wouldn't call that a strong performance from Team Canada but it was good enough.
Finnish goalie was good, rest of the team not so much.

Take off your Leafs glasses and actually watch the game objectively. Him and Savoie were not great.

Agreed. He was bad. Salin worse. Kulonummi slow as well. I hate that the D's are so f*cking slow and it's no surprise for us following Finnish hockey lately. They need to start working on that. Or is it only bad genes? Lol.
Just not a big fan of what one singular player did there at the end.
I have nothing against team Canada and you guys are my favorites if Finland is out. No hard feelings!

You couldn't say that any better i agree with 15000%
With these game performances even avoiding relegation round is a miracle.
This U20 team Finland is coached by an idiot a brain-dead idiot.
Get back to home and STOP EMBARRASSING Finnish lion jersey f***ing p***yes.

I´m not that mad. Could only be good with a loss for this team. If we can upset Sweden on their home soil being favorites and all? I will be more than satisfied hehe.

This game highlighted the problems in Finnish player development. We're no longer producing good skaters, never mind fast skaters, the junior and men's leagues don't prepare the players for the physicality of international and NHL play. As Lehkonen pointed out on TV5, we don't train "stick battles" in juniors, hence why Canadians were winning them all the time. It also doesn't help that we're not giving the kids the best possible coaching. Not impressed with Mikkola.
