They had lots of jump, but they didn't seem to find the chemistry and looked to be chasing a lot more then I expected them to be. You can see a few are trying insanely hard to make a mark and carry the play and I think it's hurting them, but it will be a great learning experience win or lose. That's the thing about WJC you never really know what is gonna happen but its always interesting. As crappy as the reffing was they really let it be the case, when you play like that and cause as much trouble you invite the ref to make judgements against you. Another lesson learned.
I think the Fins and the crowd that will be there will give them all they can handle, hopefully they keep their emotions more in check, and I really hope they can pull it out. But they are gonna have to bring a much better game and mindset if they are going to do it, Lowry had his work cut out for him.
