Finland never wins, but they've been very consistently competitive. Every country has their bad years and bad stretches.

I think this Finland team was pretty young this year, was it not? And it was the first int'l tournament minus Selanne and Koivu the Elder. I expect they will be better the next time around.

I think the U-23 team has to stay, but the national teams need to get right of first refusal.
