Just saying HIFK isn't really "out". But well, depends on what the poster meant.

I meant that they won't play for the gold anymore.
He will play the bronze medal game if it's important enough. I can see a chance he will be released even now.

Kokkonen, Heinola, Räsänen and Tuomisto I think.

Looks like Lundell will play against Canada

Good choice. Bronze medal game isn't more important than the game against Canada.
Very glad to see it. Now Finland gets essentially the best team available outside of Kakko. I still think Kakko should have played here, IMO he's an automatic include for the WC team and doesn't need to work for his spot.

Koskenkorva, Nikkanen and Hakanen sent home.
So now I'd go with these lines:
Aaltonen - Lundell - Saarela
Puistola - Räty - Simontaival
Miettinen - Hirvonen -Tieksola
Petman - Pärssinen - Intonen

Understandable. Henri Nikkanen's been one of the most underrated players this season and for this draft, I've never liked him a whole lot.
I really don't like Saarela on the 1st. That seems to be the biggest hole, otherwise that top 6 would look good. Then again, perhaps Saarela has something in store that he hasn't shown yet.

After all, Hirvonen did not make the team and I guess Saarela will be playing center. Weird decision.

30 Piiroinen Kari, Winsdor Spitfires OHL
Defencemen
2 Kokkonen Mikko, Jukurit Mikkeli

Leijonat - Anton Lundell liittyi pikavauhtia Pikkuleijonien MM-joukkueeseen – "Pitää taas saada kroppa käyntiin".
I don't know is this only me but does Lundell look bigger?
Lundell was 185cm ( 6'1 ) tall before this season started but now he looks like 188cm ( 6'2) -190cm ( 6'3) tall.

Is there any possibility lock Kari Piiroinen Finland's number 1 goalie starting for tomorrows Belarus game.
Taponen showed tonight he isn't that good and he's a bit unsure.
Yes there was some gamesavers but still not good performance.
If i have to grade Taponen game vs Canada i would say he was above average.

Apperantly Gunler has some behavial isues, and when the swe u18 coach asked Gunlers coach what he thinks, he said to leave Gunler out of the tournament. He pushed a refree to the ice at one point or smth like that, and some people say he is mental xD hahah dont really know for sure thoe. Just flying words

Mika Marttila.
You're head coach so do your job and start make huge changes on that roster.
This Team Finland isn't that team Finland who is supposed to be defending world champion in this age group ( U18 ).
Why in the hell Roope Taponen has named starting goalie he clearly isn't winning goalie.
And why Roni Hirvonen is still sitting in the press-box why he isn't in active roster.
Look how invisible Veeti Miettinen has been in 2 games
when his teammate from Espoo Blues A juniors isn't playing with him.
The situation is getting critical now we really must win next 2 games.
And if we don't we're going to be relegation round.
And if / when that happen it will be total fiasco.
so start do something and fast and don't stand in the bench like stone gargoyle.
