I find it interesting that Bean has gotten a lot of remarks for rough play, and he deserves it, but I'm not sure anyone has mentioned that Kuokkanen didn't really produce anything. Is it because Bean plays for the more high profile team, and Finland was pretty rough this year? Or does it reflect that many people were not on board with the Bean pick and everyone seemed to universally love the Kuokkanen pick? Again, I'm not saying Bean didn't deserve the comments, and I don't think the tournament really tarnishes either in my mind for a number of reasons, just thought it was interesting.
