I am not sure Finland sent there best team. I did get a quick look at sweden's roster and it didn't look like they sent all there best players, so i assume Finland the same not sending aalot of there top players.
Speaking of Islanders how is Okposo doing?
Joensuu was chosen to the team, but Korkki just mentioned in Finland board that he was injured in the first game in his first shift, so that explains the numbers.
And yes - Finland did not send Perttu Lindgren, our best forward in this age group to the tournament, because he just came back from Stars prospect camp, is in the army at the moment, plays practise games with Ilves and will enter the Stars training camp in couple of weeks - so this is pretty much enough workload to handle for one youngster.
Altough quite many other players in Team Finland just entered the military service in July as well and the recruit period has complicated participation in practises, I was still expecting much better performance from the team.
