It's like watching a particular accident happen... your nasty mother-in-law is parking a car, and she doesn't notice that she's steering it towards a deep ravine. You could easily signal her to stop, but you don't wanna.

However, the car is yours, and it's brand new. What to do?

You ever hear of insurance?

Although I wished the Finns could win the championship I think they need coaching in playing intelligent and avoiding stupid and unnecessary penalties.
I don't know for what this check was good from Jarkkonen the puck was in the german offense zone and there was no danger for the finnish goal. But I notice that in the last years there are again and again finnish players who attract attention with such unfair and stupid checks.

The hit was worth a 2min penalty, but how the heck is a minor cut on the chin an injury?

I was really surprised how bad Finland was...
Ok, they were the better team, they had more shots, but two years ago they would have ripped such a weak team like Germany.

In the german league the refs usually call every little cut an injury
That's why some guys want a major, they are used to it...

That's because two years ago they didn't have their c-team in the WC and they didn't have Jalonen as a head coach... And even then we've always struggled against Germans.
