The U.S. coach would like a time machine.

The struggle between Finland and the USA was largely resolved Austin Watsonin Finland took two overwhelming goals and took the 3-0 lead.
Even before Watson cooled, the U.S. had taken three of the second. After Watson’s cold, there were four more in the second installment.
US coach David Quinn shook his head after the match.
– We made the game really hard for ourselves. Can’t take that much cool and imagine there’s a chance to win. It was disappointing because this was not seen in the first two games. It was really unexpected. We need to tidy up our game to succeed in this tournament, Quinn said.
The head coach estimated that the hot feelings in the USA were affected by the fact that the team played against the host country, Finland.
– An exciting evening.
Why second?
According to Quinn, based on the game, it is difficult to assess the power relations between Finland and the USA.
– I’d like to play the game again without the coolers and see how we do.
Quinn had no major regrets about the actions of the referees, and the accusing finger pointed to his own players.
However, one thing remained for Quinnia to think about. It was Saku Mäenalasen received two minutes to put the guarantee.
– The judges did a good job, but one thing I would like to get a better explanation for was why there was no five-minute penalty at the end of the second round.
– The judges apologized after the second batch that it should have become a big penalty.
Good luck
Head coach of the lions Jukka Jalonen did not want to comment on the U.S. hangovers, but talked about the cooler in general.
– Nerve control is damn important in this species. If it cheats, it’s hard to win games. It’s about us or anyone. You need to be able to keep the ball cold.
The Lions was extremely strong in the game even before Watson cooled down.
– We were a really good couple. We played good hockey and are happy with it. The tough team was up against us and we made them pretty unarmed.
