Rewatching the game now and I guess I'll give my opinions from watching the game almost entirely from a Finnish POV. Mi Granlund looks awesome so far, I can;t imagine anyone questioning his skating and speed anymore, looks like he is on another gear compared to a majority of the players on the ice, very defensive so far though which I love for his future in the NHL, great positioning and decision making which is what the Wild are all about. Markus looks solid as well, he seems very competitive with all of Canada's best out there but a slight step below, Pulki looks solid too, Finland's top line will need to be great if they want a shot at the championship game and in the first they looked up to par. Armia had no hands at all in the first which is semi understandable but at the same time his decision making was quite poor and not at all what I was expecting having not seen him play this year. Donskoi has looked pretty good with some good stickhandling and smart puck movement, if he keeps his play up he could help carry that second line and allow Armia to get some good chances to show if he really is NHL caliber. Barkov looks skilled but young, a lot of Finnish players look intimidated, especially the D, but if Finland wants to win the gold Barkov will need to play with confidence and have a bigger impact than he has so far through the first. Canada has looked skilled but a bit sloppy which is completely understandable for the first period of the first exhibition game, although its very similar to the tryout games where no one has really stood out unlike years past. On to period 2!
