Re: MHF - Hockey Thread
Russia has the best team on paper. It they can get all those stars to play like a team they will be hard to stop. Sweden is probably the second best followed by Canada. USA doesn't have the same amount of quality but you can never discount a young US team. Jack Hughes, Jack Eichel, Johnny Gaudreau and Patrick Kane will have to do some heavy lifting.

Re: MHF - Hockey Thread
The Finns are sending a team without NHL players. They all declined. Count them out.
The Czecks look better even if they will have to do without David Pastrnak and Tomas Hertl this time.

Kakko scores! 1-0 Finland. Sloppy Canadian defence but a nice goal annyway.
Now to some PP.

Canada has most possession but Finland looks stable in the middle. Pushing the Canadians to the sides. Both teams have some nice chances.

It’s pathetic to blame the refs, but I blame the refs.
Unexpected results today.

Yea. It's Kakko show time. Even more impressive when you look at the team he's part of.
Once in a generation talent right there.

Re: MHF - Hockey Thread
Not that I think Kakko won't be an elite player, but this is the big ice, so it doesn't necessarily translate to the NHL.
For example Nylander was MVP of this tournament, but he'll never win the Hart Trophy on NHL ice.
