Nicely written, but the reality is likely to be different. We don’t have it in Finland at the moment, let’s face it and it would be a miracle if we won. In addition, it is an opponent who simply knows about us and they are still at home. They take it that some Slovakia can’t eliminate them and they know they are better than us. Don’t underestimate it, they don’t have it in nature like overseas teams. It will certainly not last forever that their series against ours, but in my opinion the Slovak time has not yet come at this time. He won’t come until a few years later, when we grow up guys from the current 18, who will be leaders in some 6 years, even though Slafkovský is a leader now, but that’s a generational talent, I’m just writing about others like Dvorský, Čiernik, Petrovsky etc. They are the future and they will have to beat Finland in a few years and settle for them. And Jukka Jalonen also can’t be Finland’s coach forever, and thanks to him they have been so successful in recent years. They play an awkward style of hockey that is currently celebrating success. But as we write, nothing lasts forever. The Finns also have to have a crisis sometimes.
