I know the saying that you shouldn`t change the winning team, but this is ridiculous.Raimo Sillanpää said:Finland with an unchanged line-up against Germany. Same players that beat the Czechs 4-0 will play today according to Yle (sport.yle.fi for you Finns).

Padawan said:This is a must win for Finland. Sweden beat the Czechs last night but they only won with a goal. If Finland wins Germany by at least two goals margin, a tie against Sweden would be enough to be number in European pool.
I can understand wanting to scratch Tuomo, because he appears to be injured and we need him later on. Jarkko played OK but didn't do much, so I can understand this too. But what's with Mikko? General crankiness from your part?SergeiK said:I know the saying that you shouldn`t change the winning team, but this is ridiculous.
Let`s scratch MKoivu, Tuomo and Jarkko Ruutu and give Hahl, Laaksonen ja Nieminen a chance.
C`mon. If Finns need a defensive center, who would be better choice - Mikko Koivu or Riku Hahl?teme said:I can understand wanting to scratch Tuomo, because he appears to be injured and we need him later on.

SergeiK said:I`m confident that Koivu won`t suck against Germany, but when the going gets tougher we need guys that have played against superstars. Hahl has proven himself to be able to play against Mats Sundin and Dany Heatley. Mikko Koivu has proven himself that he can play against Marko Kivenmäki and Kalle Kerman. If appreciating Hahl`s merits higher than M.Koivu`s, is being cranky, then I`m 100 % cranky.

TK79 said:I'm beginnig to think this news about Tuomo Ruutu having a arm/hand injury is bs.. If he was injured, he would have surely gotten a rest against Germany. On the other hand he didn't make a single hit aganist the Czech's, which is usually one of his trademarks.. Hope he's ok..
