I call an upset. Finland - Korea 0 - 3, upon Finland gives up the tournament and goes back to Soumi for some spa and Kosken instead.

Because of the reasons i already typed out for you?
If you think your reasons are justified, it's even better that Marjamäki probably doesn't give a poo.

PP2 has run a few practices with Nutivaara, so letting him show what he can do in the actual game environment is by no means a decision that makes a coach a "stupid monkey".

if you put money on korea it is same thing like you throw money out of your window :D
Sounds like my long term saving fund, that I have emptied few times to buy stuff that I dont need. But I just had to, nothing beats Genelec, YOLO.

I can see Korea pot in a goal or two, the defense and coaching isn't looking that good for Finland. Expect something like 7-1 Finland

This is actually fairly good betting target if you play under/over. Over 6.5 gives you *2 at nordicbet.

I know that we be winning Korea, easily, but i do not like our line combo's

Rantanen RW, plays LW
Granlund LW, plays C
Aho LW, plays C
Mäenalanen RW, plays LW
Pesonen LW, plays C

I know that Granlund and Aho can play center,
but there lies a huge risk playing them off position
what they have played the entire season.

Also Rantanen playing LW worries me. - Only 1 natural center in the line up -

And what is this nonsense that Heiskanen wouldn't play PP, that's not true, no?

Like I said, Granlund playing C on big ice is not even a small risk. He has been just fine. Heiskanen hasn't practised yet so he is out of PP for this game, but I'll expect him play on the PP soon enough.

You only seem to remember Gralund on small ice..

At least on big ice, that is.

Though even bigger piece of clownery is being worried about Mäenalanen playing on what is *very* much his preferred wing. He's whining about a winger's preferred position, which is minutia to begin with, and then isn't even aware of what it actually is.

Great to see Kapanen get a chance in the TOP 6. Definitely a TOP 6 talent on the NHL as well. Heiskanen also in the first pair.

7-0 Finland.


The Dmen are actually at:

Heiskanen - Pokka
Koivisto - Nutivaara
Kivistö - Honka

Honka and Pokka are in the wrong spots.

I would say Kapanen is a traditional middle 6 player/2nd PP guy. Hes blazing fast and responsible defensively but his hands and shot arent good enough to a traditional top line player. Hes probably a 20-20 guy for most of his career.

No, you seem to forget that he used to play winger position for HIFK too,
sure he played center position too for HIFK, but like for Minny,
he plays the best hockey from winger position.
