Why is Virtanen back on the ice? This all comes down to poor coaching for me.

[Magicstew]

too many dumb penalties

[Big Ev]

Yeah Virtanen was the reason they lost. Doesn't matter to him since he's making big cash already

[JagrBomb]

virtanen killed team canada.

[iwinthings]

and this is exactly why Finland should never be considered a favourite against Canada

Right on point as usual.

[Sulla]

For me Canada just never looked like a cohesive team, that and untimely penalties, cost them the most

[Big Ev]

Right on point as usual.

This was still an upset. Canada is better than Finland, they just didn't win. That happens. Finland will never be on Canada's level at any age level. They had home ice advantage and big ice advantage

[audiopile]

Im having a tough time adjusting to this soft officiating, cant imagine how hard it must be for the kids.

Why were fleury and hickey even selected for the team?

Uh huh. Expected to win and did.Seriously about half of what you say is completely wrong, and half of the rest is meant to troll people. Of that final quarter almost all of it is jacking off to some Sens player or prospect
It would be helpful to have a subgroup here for all your crap so we can unsubscribe from it.

I'm some glad Vancouver Canucks loaned Virtanen to Canada. Probably their worst forward all tournament.

and a goaltending advantage. and a coaching advantage. and a better team advantage.

I think you're stretching it a bit at this point. While Kahkonen looked good, they still had a goalie that let in 3 in 10 and looked really iffy.

Most of their advantage came from that top line and having a lethal powerplay, while Canada took many dumb penalties and had an iffy defensive squad.

But to say they had better goaltending, to me, is a stretch. Coaching is not easily determinable in a game like this one.

This is true, but virtanen penalties get called in North America. He should have been benched after the 1st dumb one he took(the holding that negated the 5 on 3) but pour coaching puts him back out there, and what happens? Big surprise, he takes not 1 but 2 more. Really disappointed with Canada's coaching.
