Too many thoughts - I think you saw all of them already at IHWC..  In Finland we still don't have enough depth for competitive B, C and D teams, so there won't be too many suprises. The official roster will be announced in an hour (12:30 local time). I would like to see something like this: lines: Lehtinen - Koivu - Selänne, Peltonen - Jokinen - T. Ruutu, S. Kapanen - N. Kapanen - Hentunen, Laaksonen - Hahl - Nieminen (+3 more skaters, preferably from SM-liiga.) Defence: Salo - Nummelin, Niinimaa - Väänänen, Karalahti - Lydman, Pitkänen - Timonen Goalies: Kiprusoff, Lehtonen and just about anyone... Heh, Marko Leinonen! (we played hockey at the same yard as kids - he's now in Vienna I think, though I'm not sure .) |

Finnish roster is to be revealed 25th of May, makes today. Stay tuned.
And the lines I'd like to see are:
Selänne-Koivu-Lehtinen, Peltonen-Jokinen-Kallio, Pärssinen-N. Kapanen-Hentunen, Laaksonen-Pirjetä-S. Kapanen, J. Ruutu-Hahl-Nieminen
(Three lines with fast skaters and good combination play plus two excellent checking/dirty play-lines.)
Same defensemen as Eve, and I'm going to have to agree with the goalies too... 'cept I'm pretty certain that our third man to the net will be Pasi Nurminen.
