Finland won over Canada 2-0. What a disappointment. Yes you read it right. For the first time in my life, I was wishing that Finland would lose. The reason is simple - the Finnish ice hockey team just simply isn’t good enough to keep the high standard up through the whole tournament. They are notorious for folding out unexpectedly - like losing a match they led 5-1 at one point. So it’s better to take that statistical loss in the preliminaries when it doesn’t matter, rather than be knocked out in the play-offs or finals. We have seen this happen too many times already!

    Yeah… we’re the only undefeated team left, but that’s gonna change tomorrow. I just can’t find it in my heart to believe that they have the mental capacity to take them all the way. At the same time, I sincerely hope that they prove me wrong!
