I'm very optimistic for the quarterfinals, this game was really good. Czechs only had a good period in the 2nd, they looked exhausted from yesterdays game against USA. Aittokallio played great. Also first line was very good tonight, but MaG should step up. Good team effort! And an way easier win than i thought it would be before the game.
We will face Slovakia or Switzerland in the qf, I think Swiss will win tonight. 2-1 Swiss atm.

Oh lordy. FYI, he was effin' joking. He said this as a friendly jab between him and Aittokallio while the team was gongratulating the goalie. It's not like he looked directly into the camera and blurted it out.
And Aitto will start unless he gets hit with a truck, or catches ebola or something. You can rely on that.

Just his way of making fun of his presumed total one-sidedness. With a little bit of truth in there as well. Goal scorer feeds on scoring goals and that's what he is there for.
His playing just looks more flegmatic than what it really is. Hanging on to puck for too long himself is what I would try him to get rid of.
Take it easy. It's all good.

luck had nothing to do with it.

Why wouldn't he? After that performance I think it's pretty obvious who's the #1 goalie going forward.

Exactly. There's always the "if this or that happened, it would have changed the game" type of talk going on. Well this or that did not happen because of the way the teams played the game.
A hockey game is all about capitalizing on your scoring chances and playing good enough to keep the opponent from scoring when they've got the momentum. If you do both you've got a good chance to win every game. With some luck you win big and with some luck the opponent might make it a bit tighter.

He was in the official lineup, but I don't think he ever played. The Czechs were mixing lines like crazy to make up for it.

Any medal is far fetched. We'll have tough time beating Switzerland/Slovakia. I wouldn't be surprised if we'd lose.

no you won't lose,
and you know it.
That's what Jalonen said before WC. What happened? We won the gold!
Why isn't it a realistic goal?

Yesterday's game against DEN didn't tell much,
but today vs CZE was a question about regaining
credibility and performing when there are some
stakes. The earlier disaster vs CAN still haunts
me, but today was another step up.
I'm worried about the SUI in the semis, but if our
young guns can manage that game, I think the
next FIN - CAN game just might be an odd goal
game.
Congrats to the young lions.
It's out there to be taken. Just do it.
