Iltalehti compiles the three most interesting points from each race day. Here are the points for Tuesday.
The villain got cold
Santtu Silvennoinen
Petri Kontiola, 38, has impressed Maikkari as a World Cup commentator, but he got cold feet in another job post-playing career. “Konna” was strongly offered to the coaching group of the Ilves league team. Last week Ilves announced that Antti Pennanen serve as assistants Lauri Merikivi and Jonas Denmark. In addition Pasi Saarinen and goalkeeper coach Markus Korhonen continue behind the bench. According to information from Iltalehti, Ilves’ interest in Kontiola ended due to the events during the SC league playoffs. Before the bronze medal game, Kontiola slipped to Levi with his rhythm group. Even after the victorious Ässät quarter-final series, there had been entertainment.

The first Hollywood movie about the World Cup
Anssi Karjalainen
Would you have believed? The USA team, completely unknown to the general public, took the top spot in Group A of the World Cup. The team has not lost a game in the tournament yet. The games of the first series already showed that it is a really tough opponent: it aggressively cuts and takes space with extreme courage. Sweden’s star pack Rasmus Sandin had to by Michael Eyssimont the target of a knee tackle on Tuesday. If this team wins the World Cup gold, it should be made into a Hollywood movie, as it was done Miracle on Ice – about the Olympic miracle. The head coach David Quinn would act, of course Bradley Cooper. Tom Hardy would be like a manifested Yankee captain Nick Bonino.
Rantanen’s pursuit of the goal continues
Lassi Kuisma
Lions head coach Jukka Jalonen remarked after the Denmark game that Mikko Rantanen has been playing at a point-per-game pace, and there is no need to worry about the NHL star, even if there is no goal yet. Jalonen is, of course, absolutely right here, because chances have been created and now we are only playing for victory. But yes, Rantanen, who has collected power points of 0+8, has become quite popular with the whole nation. The feelings of ordinary Finnish fans seem to be summed up by a spectator watching the Denmark match with his loud voice.
