lol pretty much

Fuck off. You don't know russians clearly

I clearly don't, not talking about just the Russians though. Canada/USA and swedes too.

Only usa and some canada players may not play 100%. These guys are professional athletes playing for their countries. Could see russia played their hearts out

The compete level btwn suomi and the US/CAN/RUS seems huge though, i feel like suomi is putting in 200% while teams full of NHL/KHLers at 100% at best throughout this tourney.
I think it has to do with the mindset, suomi being the "underdogs" & it's a huge event/game to prove they're str0nk as the stacked teams.
While for teams filled with NHL/KHLers wants to play more hockey rather than golf/chill after failing to play for the cup in the NHL.
like russia definitely played their hearts out this game, especially when they were trailing but compared to suomi, i think they started off being too confident, while suomi was pedal to the medal from the start

How many of these Liiga players do we see sign NHL contracts for the coming season? Kakko excluded. I bet its more than one...

i think it'll just be kakko tbh

Im not too familiar with the age of the players, but if there are aome younger guys, i bet they get at least a PTO
