Finland missing V. Filppula, M. Koivu and now A. Barkov from their centers can be seen in everything they do. Not good.

Canada cannot play like this and win a medal. :( So awkward.
Finn's are playing well defensively, Canadians are maintaining great pressure and cycling, it's just hard to get anything through when the Finn's instantly collapse in front of the net every chance they get.

Are you kidding? They're playing a strong defensive team, have a lead and have played like 70% of the game in the Finnish end. Large lead in shots, faceoffs, chances. It's a close game sure but it's not like the Finns have been peppering Price.

Anytime a Canadian has the puck in the offensive zone the Finns just collapse into their box.

Already shallow roster losing couple of key players so have to play with style that gives you only chance to win against Canada. Crazy defending and hoping for counter attacks and PP.

Yeah unfortunately. Another reason for me to complain about the international ice though.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
A Babcock-coached team giving up a late-period goal? Who would have thought?

We can cycle as much as we want but it means shit all if you don't generate actual chances. At least cycle more in the middle of the ice it's international ice.
