Niklas Hagman and Janne Niinimaa will replace Sami Kapanen and Jere Karalahti on the finnish squad.
Me too. Too bad that Sami Kapanen didn't have enough energy/desire to play in the world cup, we sure would've needed him. On the other hand it's good that he left out and his spot was given to a more motivated player.Finn said:I am surprised Niinimaa wasn't picked to the original team

gib said:Losing Kapanen is huge loss for Finland. Hagman isn`t even half of a player than Kapanen is. I also would have much prefer seen Tomi Kallio to replace Kapanen, than Hagman doing it.
