You mean the most of this finnish squad could make 1s and 2nd line in NHL? Are you kidding me? You look only to canadian roster only with a tunnel vision.
All the so called hockey experts had Finland as the favourite to win Gold, along with Russia before the tournament. Everyone agreed this was one of the weakest rosters Canada had ever sent. Now that Finland failed when it counted, the Finnish fans are trying to rewrite history and tell everyone that this Canadian team was a very good one (LOL).
You can be a NHL player, and a scrub, bad offensive player, and a 4th liner. Canada also has been disadvantaged at times in the past with the big ice surface in Europe, and different officiating than the NHL. We had to rely on a career backup Darcy Kuemper to win Gold. Our NHL players got shut out by Latvia 2-0, and barely made it to the QF, after starting 0-3. It was a miracle for this Underdog team to beat Russia, USA, and Finland. Europeans should applaud that great feat of this team, since this tournament is celebrated in Europe. It is ignored in Canada. Instead, Europeans fans are trying to tell us this was a very good Canadian roster on paper (LOL).
