Virtanen, never seen such a stupid player, he fits the canucks perfect.

This is what I was going to post. The three reasons we lost this tournament. I agree with your three points, though I can't emphasize enough that the #1 reason is coaching.
A good coach would have changed goalies in the Sweden game. Blackwood did not look good at all in this tourney.
A good coach would have benched Virtanen long ago to send a message not only to him, but the rest of the team. In fact, that is why I love that you can dress 13 forwards. I would be using 12 forwards any time there needed to be one guy stapled to the bench.
