Command Analysis
Finland showed excellent results in the group stage, after which it became clear that the team is one of the favorites at the championship this year. They were quite lucky to get an easy part of the grid, on their road to the final the team met with the Czech Republic, which they beat 1:0. In the semifinal, Suomi faced Germany and defeated them 2:1.
The Finnish national team turned out to be one of the most productive at this championship. It almost played a cruel joke on them in the game against the Germans: despite their strong defense, the Finns opened up a bit too much and allowed the opponent to create many dangerous chances.
Canada surprised almost everyone - in a bad way - with their group stage performance. For the first time in history, the team was so close to not qualifying for the playoffs. But everything turned out quite well. In the quarterfinals, the Maple Leafs met with Russia, a rather dangerous rival. The Canadians snatched the victory from the Red Machine in overtime and were matched with the USA in the semifinal.

Our prediction is Canada to win with a handicap (0)
