The U.S. was already in the lira before the semi-finals as it hit the box against the Lions with just four defenders.

– A really difficult place, admitted the US Center Sean Farrell.

Jukka Jalonen said that the opponent’s play of four Packs did not change anything in the Finnish game, but:

– The message was that they are world-class players. It does not guarantee anything. An individual game is able to pull when there is a bet. Some are used to playing for half an hour in the NHL. There are all kinds of qualities in a person when it comes to the real thing, Jalonen started.

– It would have made our game harder if there had been two more NHL packs. You have to take advantage of opportunities when there is a place, he continued.

Finland milled long attacks and changed flights. Mankel’s third hit in Finland.

– Our tactic is always to make long attacks if you don’t get straight to the goal.

The head coach signed the view that Finland’s physical advantage was one of the semi-finals.

– It was one big aspect of the game that managed to play and weigh. And being at its sharpest when there are minutes to solve.

US skipper Seth Jones played on Saturday at 31.57 and runner-up Nate Schmidt 27.10. Attackers marked as defenders in the lineup Riley Barber and Sam Lafferty were in the box a total of 18.23.

Finnish NHL Packs Miro Heiskanen and Esa Lindell were the men of the Lions who had the most playing time: 21.36 and 20.14.

“Bad disappointment”

Yankee Sean Farrell praised his team’s attitude despite the difficult starting position.

– Four defenders and two strikers made a really good dune. And we defended as a team pretty well, Farrell estimates.

He was sad after a 3-4 loss.

– Really disappointing. We fought as hard as we could. Finland is a really good team. Now let’s focus on the bronze game. I have to keep this same energy there.
