I was just checking the lines for todays olympic pucks and this one immediately caught my eye. Canada should have won Italy more than 7-2, but seems to be they were not that interested and might have been suffering a little from jet-lag. It's typical for Canada to start slow in tournaments played in Europe and get better game by game. I'm from Finland, so i know this team very well. Finland has 2 killer lines and had a great game against Switzerland yesterday winning 5-0. This is a spot for Finland to showcase some individual skills against much inferior opponent and i think they will win atleast by 6 goals, might be by double figures as well.
Well, the game was yesterday and ended 6-0
3 posts and numerous missed chances from Finland. In Olympic first rounds laying big numbers for certain favorites is good. There are teams like Italy that can't compete. Selanne and co were really unstoppable.
