And Kaiden Guhle scores 10 ?? And is solid defensively like always
Guhle has been a monster so far. So fun to watch. Schneider has gotten better every game, Barron has been steady as hell, Korzcak has played his role perfectly, so add that to Byram and Drysdale and this D-core is gross
I honestly don’t care who wins, I just want Caufield & Guhle to do well. As well as for Finland to win, and a goal from Daniil Chayka wouldn’t hurt either.

Wtf
Cheering AGAINST your country???
I would’ve cheered for Finland against Canada. And I have absolutely nothing to do with Finland, other than my favourite player being from there. I find patriotism really annoying, and it’s not like a gold medal means much of anything for Canada in hockey. Sure it’s great for the players on the team, but I’m not any more attached to players on Canada than I am to Finland, or USA, or Russia.
In these tournaments I like to cheer for parity and it’s great when the underdog succeeds. Which is why I love cheering for teams like Finland & Germany.

The main question is, when a team like Finland stops being "the underdog" of these tournaments?
Probably when they stop bringing in players such as Samuel Helenius and Benjamin Korhonen, namely players, that me, and active Finnish hockey fan, have never even heard of, while dropping players like internationally acknowledged Aatu Räty and Patrik Puistola from the team completely.

Except FIN is a superpower now
I’m not saying they’re worse than the other teams, it’s just that (more so this year) they have considerably fewer 1st rounders than Canada or USA.
And maybe they aren’t a massive underdog, but they play the style of game that a lot of teams that don’t have star power play, that I love so much. (CBJ as an example.)

No team has challenged Canada so far. It's easy to say all of their players have looked like monsters when they've been scored against like 4 times during this whole tournament lol.
I think this team has been the most overpowered all time when compared to others. Just by looking the amount of first rounders and all that, only goaltending has been exception there. Look, I even made a team Canada without any first rounders. The difference is HUGE. And aside from Lundell and Heinola, this is the kind of team Finland has had to roll with, for instance. Just used them as an example as they've probably been the only "challenging" opponent to them thus far.

Right... but you ignore the way we defended yesterday for instance against RUS. There were so many times where Russia would enter our zone and possibly get something started yet one of our d-men just took the puck away from them and started a rush for us in their zone.

RUS has struggled with scoring the whole tournament. Partly due to the fact that all of their forwards, save Spiridonov, are lefties. That especially was a problem in last nights game.
I ain't really ignoring anything. Canada's roster is head and shoulders above all else in this tournament, a plays like that of yesterdays are to be expected.
