Just no. Please don't ever write something like that again.
First of all, level of entertainment is absolutely a subjective matter. Any random poster on these forums is thousand percent within their logical rights to write a post declaring Team Finland's hockey the most entertaining of them all. You can't take it away or deny it. Entertainment not really a measurable and quantifiable object, nor is there a objective singular truth for level of entertainment of one teams playstyle. For some people absolutely simply just the underdog premise is enough to make a game entertaining. Rocky wasn't that great a boxer based on what he seemed to be doing in the movies, but quite many were entertained by them, right? Others might get their kicks out seeing a system prevail over individual virtuosity. Individual virtuosity is cool and all, but ice hockey does happen to be a team sport. In case someone is purely interested in individual skills, there might be better sports out there for those people (hint:
Individual sport - Wikipedia). In hockey, there are 6 guys in the rink and 15 other guys at the bench for a purpose. And quite easily for some home-brewn academics and kitchen psychiatrists, the battle of head coach vs. head coach might be the best thing ever - never mind the players. Or for some others something weird like seeing Malkin or Ovechkin cry at the end of the game might be the most entertaining thing on the planet in 2019. And so on.
Second of all, something that so many people might actually miss. Ice hockey's primary purpose is not to be entertaining. Ice hockey is a sport about the result. Primary purpose of teams in the rink is to win a game, not to be entertaining. Understanding this is the key to having a meaningful conversation about the matter. There are pure entertainment-based 'shows' out there, and for people looking just entertainment it just might make more sense to try to look for these things in the oh-so-wide offering of prime time procrastination available to us today. NBA game Warriors vs Trail Blazers is about the result. Whatever Harlem Globetrotters decide to do next is about entertainment. UFC is a sport about the result, and WWE is entertainment. And so is ice hockey a sport about the result. It's totally OK to just like the entertainment stuff, but people should not be watching WWE and UFC with the same criteria. Don't bring entertainment to the front row - if you don't like the sport of ice hockey, it just might make most sense to follow something else.
Third, respect the sport. While definitely the worst thing in your message is the phrase "universally entertaining hockey" (read item #1), also the statement like "strangling better teams" is just really really bad form. While the underdog situation definitely can exist, it's just a premise and when a game has ended and a result is drawn, premise should be forgotten. There is no other way to measure betterness between teams than playing a match of the sport in question. Finland did not strangle "a better team" today. Finland was the better team (read item #2 in case it's unclear how this is true), and that result remains as a fact ad infinitum.
