Command Analysis

Finland

Finland are the favorites to win the World Championship this year. The team looked great at the group stage of the tournament and celebrated success over almost every opponent. The only exception was Sweden, to whom the Finns lost in a shootout (2:3 SO). In the first round of the playoffs, Finland got a confident victory over Slovakia (4:2).

USA

The USA, on the other hand, lost quite a lot of points at the group stage and qualified for the knockouts from the 4th line in Group B. Then, the Americans pulled themselves together and beat Switzerland 3:0 in the quarterfinal game. The team was excellent on defense, and goalie Jeremy Swayman gave a shutout performance.
