It might be better to get Switzerland than Japan for Finland as the QF opponent. Japan seems pretty good and I think that Finland would beat SUI in a rematch.

True, i actually misread the information. In fact Finland needs a 3 goal win. My bad!
Edit: Actually it's a bit more confusing. If Finland wins with two goals and scores 4 goals or more, Finland will still finish third.

This game is heading for a Finland 3 goal margin win, but I really got my doubts if it's a smart thing to do to get Japan over Switzerland in the QF match.
Actually it's so confusing i got it right the first time. Finland needs a three goal win and im dumb

Yeah I think you meant that but said it in a bit confusing way in the first post.
Yeah, the mistake i made was that i thought Finland scored three goals vs Switzerland instead of the two, which sent my brain spiraling out of control. Well, happy to get that sorted out!

Agree with everything but the only Czech goals were flukey. They shut it down! A magical knucklepuck and a reviewable play IMO on our other goal. They were definitely gassed and I've never seen a team purposely freeze pucks in 3 on 3. However, that was on the Czechs to counter that and they missed a lot of glorious chances.
I do think, now that I've really looked into the women's game that they need 2 pools. The strong pool still has blowouts and 3 to 9 seem pretty even. Happy for Japan. It wasn't lost on me that the greatest Czech victory was in Japan and now they took us out. Good for the sport. I think they'll have a close game with one of the 3. Czechs are going to get bombed right out the tourney. Shame as I liked their team, coach and everything to be honest. It's not like the men's team which is already giving me a headache and they haven't played a game yet.haha

4-0 now and looks like the team is out of the slump.
Why are they challenging that? Don't they have a pad on their bench. The puck went in off the Russian player's glove. And they got a penalty for it.
And 5-0 on the powerplay.

If Finland wins Russia by three goals or more, they'll be 3rd in Group A (so... right where they were predicted to be despite being really, really underwhelming before now) and get to play Group B winner in the QF. Win by less or lose, and they get Switzerland - which some of us here apparently would prefer.
Indeed. Japan scares me. I'm scared of the unknown. Finland knows Switzerland well now and I think that they would beat them in a rematch with that motivation of losing the last game, despite of Finland being the dominant team in that game. In my opinion for some time the refs lost it a bit in the Switzerland game with the penalty calls. The too many players on ice calls were quite justified though, I'm not talking about those.

Exactly my thoughts as well.
Pretty much since around 2014, Poulin has been the best female player in the world.
Fillier definitely seems poised to take that title in the next few years. She has some serious skill and is a fantastic skater.

The Americans played very well, it’s always good hockey when these two get together.
Clearly the two best female hockey nations in the world, hopefully the Gold medal game is another classic should everything play out the way it’s expected.
It would've been funny to see some "chin diapers" to quote South Park series.
I mean sports + close to air tight mask should be a health risk itself, but I guess that their masks aren't air tight or not properly placed on their faces. That's why Finland is able to play well here. We are humans, we need air, we don't need asthma.

I haven't been able to follow these games, just read how Finland has lost first three games. Who will we face after beating Russia? We will be third in the group?
Finland will get Japan unless ROC scores 3 goals in 6 mins now. If ROC does scores 3, then it will be FIN-SUI.

That should have been a penalty. Denmark had 6 skaters on the ice long before their goalie had left the ice.
To me it looked like a normal change and the 6th joined when the goalie came to the bench. Thats why they called it back.
