aet75 I couldn't agree with you more. Finland has really picked up their game it isn't all about Defense anymore...it also has a very controlled physical side. But they don't take a lot of penalties.
I had the opportunity to watch Mikko Koivu and Antero Niittymaki play last year in the AHL because of the lock-out and both are great players. I knew Niittymaki was a very good goalie, but he has really surprised me with how calm he has played under pressure. I wasn't sure he could do it, but I'm glad to be wrong :)!
