Not at all. Kakko is Voldemort for our opponents. God damn is that kid great or what! I´m enjoying every bit of this. Love him, i bloody love him.Kakko is our lord and saviour. Please our lord take us as far as you mighty can.
Too far?
Russia, Czechs or Switzerland. No Sweden.
Sweden has added NHLers last two tournaments and it hasnt hurt them.
Sihvonen's pass to the czechs was what clinched in that game... Growing up here in Sweden even swedes rooted for us that year...
That sounds like bullshit to me.I thought Swedes usually cheer for Finland in neutral games. Same way as I cheer for Sweden usually, except last year when I really wanted Switzerland to do the upset win.
The comment about cheering for SWE is only you, so guess I'm wrong there. I read your comment wrong - Finns generally definitely do not cheer for SWE ever. I'll edit my post to reflect that.Which part?

Yeah, really far from Vantaa - can't believe it took me 15 min to get there to heart of Helsinki.Yes I was speaking only for myself. But it's not that rare either. I guess you're not originally from Helsinki?

Sweden has been full of NHL players the past couple years and this year.
Adding a couple NHL stars to the roster of Finnish jorneymen and a child could backfire. I think Jalonen made the right choice in this years perspective. The team has genuine spirit and they've trained together for several weeks. It really is a TEAM.
Kaski has been a disappointment for me so far. He's in trouble with the puck, which was unheard of in Liiga. His strengths are not in the defensive end, but he has managed that part of the game decently. Doubt he's NHL-ready come next season.Haven’t been able to watch any games unfortunately, but how is Kaski looking? I’m a Wings fan so interested to see if people think he can make the NHL immediately
In this world champs he looks abit like Tom Koivisto.Kaski has been a disappointment for me so far. He's in trouble with the puck, which was unheard of in Liiga. His strengths are not in the defensive end, but he has managed that part of the game decently. Doubt he's NHL-ready come next season.
Good exremly hard working(+Kakko) beats talent.Keep drinking the Kool Aid. Reality tends to come back fast and hard, especially during the QF. Finland does not have the talent to beat the USA, Canada, Russia, or Sweden
I'm hoping for Schweiz, i think they suits us the most.We have had some good teams who have struggled to clinch a place in the quarterfinal but I believe we have clinched it already with this team. I don't want to count it, but Slovakia can't go ahead of us and Denmark will play against Canada, Slovakia and USA and they won't get 9 points from those three games.
I am terrified of the quarterfinal game already though.. every opponent will be very difficult.
It's a mathematical clinch already. We're in. Did you forget that Canada and USA still play against each other? So if Denmark somehow gets nine points out of the remaining games, both Canada and USA can't get past 13. And if both get three point wins from their other remaining game and then USA beats Canada in OT, all Finland, Canada and USA would have 13 (if we lose the rest), creating a three-way tie which would be broken up by the points accrued against each other. Finland would have 4 points, USA would have 4, Canada would have 1.We have had some good teams who have struggled to clinch a place in the quarterfinal but I believe we have clinched it already with this team.

Yeah I forget they play against each other. And just like I said, I didn't do the math. Thanks for you doing it.It's a mathematical clinch already. We're in.

In any other scenario, one of them would fall short of 13 in the miraculous event that Denmark performs a sky-rocket rally.
A three-way tie between FIN/DEN/USA or FIN/DEN/CAN is also possible, but in the former event Finland would have 4 points (out of maximum of 9 available), and in the latter 6, meaning Finland can't land in the bottom of the tie in those scenarios either.
