Back to you FinHockey,
if Finland could have converted on the chances that they had, they would have won the game by a fair margin.
Likewise, if the CZE's could have scored on all the PP's they had, they would have won by more than 1 goal.
The CZE's were unable to score on a two man advantage, and several other PP opportunities which were gift-wrapped by the refs.
At the end of the day, I have no issue stating that the Finns had more chances. They were just lacking the Finish! LOL
Another strong argument one could point out is that Finland was playing "D" for the majority of the game, which kept dismantling their strategy. As one said, the CZE's will play a certain way to hold on to their lead. This sounds similar to the Finns, but first they have to score in order to have a lead to hold onto.
This said, I'm actually surprised that Finland didn't let in 4 or 5 goals from all the time they spent on the PK. The Finns either did a really good job or the Czechs did a really pour job offensively.
