It's a strange game. Canada does not seem very comfortable. These teams have realized that Canada will cough up the puck a lot if you fore-check them really hard.

Neither team seems to be passing the puck very well.
 
One thing I'll say about Finnish teams over the last couple of decades. They haven't been the top 4-5 teams very often, but the couple times when they've had the right team, or perhaps the right coaching they've been supreme.

In the 06 they were by far dominant team. How they lost to Sweden in the finals I have no idea. They may have an inferiority complex
 
I was annoyed that they were booing the Russian player who was attacked from behind in the previous game by a Swede.
Plus I felt the Finns were more creative stick handlers. I just wish they wouldn't have set back so much in both games after grabbing lead. They really had the potential to show us some great play.
