I thought he looked good. Was a key defender for them, had a great shot block and stick tie up late in the game to keep it close. Was on the ice for key defensive situations. Had a toe drag wrist shot that rang off the pipe. Overall, I was impressed with his game. Like most Fins, seems very smart and makes the right play most of the time. Sweden had more talent overall so I’m not surprised that they won. Might have something here!
