Fins are great at getting in the way of everything... passes, shots.. hard to get anything through.

Just my opinion, but he single handedly powered himself in front a few times today and created a couple chances. He's very strong on the puck.

Canada clearly got away with crosschecking there. Understandable in a game like this, but it could mean they're not going to get away with a lot more.

No excuse for that not being in the net.

The thing is you don't need them to score to create offense. Just need quick transition and outlet passes to get through the trap with speed.

Hamhuis and Vlasic can play defence, Subban can't. If they are needing Subban to be the offence, this team is in a lot of trouble. Doughty and Weber are both better offensively.

I don't think Hamhuis and especially Vlasic are particularly good at that.

The road to gold just got a bit harder.

Subban can play defence just fine. I think with Subban's skating, he'd be a far valuable addition to this team than Hamhuis/Vlasic.

Very frustrating to watch. Canada is clearly the aggressor and better team, but they just can't get the win. Finland is just turtle and counter punch.

No kidding.

With a minute left in a tie game, Canada has Vlasic on the ice. Tells you what they think of his defensive game.

With the amount of neutral zone turnovers and with the speed of Finland, Canada could easily be losing this game with less responsible defenders in the lineup.
