They have the best player in the world and his name is Aleksandr Barkov. He makes everyone around him better, any weakness or short comings Finlad has will be alleviated by the hockey IQ and defensive mastery of Barkov. Not to mention 3 Panthers teammates on the team with Lundell, Lustorinen & Mikkola. Chemistry is gonna be off the charts!!!
@@seniormale They scored the same amount of goals in the playoffs, Barkov led all players in the playoffs with game winning goals, he broke the NHL record for takeaways in the postseason and shut down McDavid in games 6 & 7 to win the Stanley Cup...he's better than McDavid
Funny how he says Ristolainen has always fared well with team Finland, when Ristolainen has basically never played for team Finland. He's only ever played 11 men's games for Finland and hasn't played since 2016.
Heiskanen is not going to play 30 mins a game. That’s just not the Finnish way of doing things. Yes, he’s our #1 offensive defenceman, but other players will get their ice-time as well. He’ll most likely play between 20-24 mins per game.

Only a finn would say barkov is suppier to mcdavid. Ask any nhl player who they would want on their team.
@@seniormale Im not from Finland, ill ask the Florida Panthers. They'd know best
The Finland Panthers.
Weakest in paper but good enough to win it!
Go Finland Go!

Yup, he's obviously not an expert on Team Finland.

"Ristolainen, he's always fared well with Team Finland in international competition", when? 😂 2016? 😅
Definitely the weakest team but i know Finland are the best underdogs so anything can happen
Not even close... Kakko, Armia, the D... We all know Finland can compete but on paper, they are so much worse then the other 3.
@@Astianax27 Tale old as time. Lot of these guys has played together at some point so they could do wonders on ice if everything clicks.
@@Astianax27 dont forget 2019 world cup. Our rookie team beat every paper tiger
@@bilboreppuli1789you mean Skoda cup? The last world cup was held in 2016 🤡

Are all tsn broadcasts from home on zoom now? No wonder sportsnet is better. Old heads sitting in their underwear talking shit is not informative.
