Shots on Finnish goal by team in warm-up games:
Austria - 10
Switzerland - 9
USA - 15
I'd like to bring to your attention what I believe will be the underestimation of the tournament:

"The bad news for Finland is that they bolster defensive and offensive units that on paper don’t stack up very well against the Russians, Canada, the Czechs or the Americans. The defense is made up of all 19-year-olds, however none of these seven have been top 100 selections in the NHL entry draft and only three have been drafted in total. Mikko Kalteva was an Avalanche fourth rounder while Kevin Kantee and Oskari Korpikari were both late round selections by Chicago and Montreal respectively. Janne Jalasvaara was expected to be drafted in last year’s entry draft but ended up going undrafted. "
That defence, has complately snuffed out the offense of everyone it's faced thus far. And I'm wagering that it will surprise everybody and be one the strenghts of Team Finland U20 as it goes all the way to the Final..
