I speed-watched the Finland vs. one-of-the-two-Canada-rosters 8-3 beatdown from yesterday's action. No Canes prospects were on this roster. Finland was up 5-0 after the first and pushed things to 7-0 before Canada even scored.
Lot of quick hands around the goal and a goalie that "gave up" a lot of rebounds helped. But honestly some of those rebounds looked like intentional passes off the pads, or just make something happen chaos. Wasn't exactly like he was giving them up off the chest.
Puistola had an early quick-hands goal off a rebound, but it was take-deadly-aim elevated shot, not an accident. Think he had a secondary assist later, as well.
Honka executed a very poised and slick back-hand dish from the left side right down a brief alley that opened out to the eventual goal scorer coming down from the circle on the opposite side. Announcers also noting just how composed and savvy he was with that feed, even under pressure. Believe a later goal went off his stick or some part of him, but he was at least in the right place for good things like that to happen.
Didn't notice Killinen, but then he wasn't on my watch list. Just the other two. Finnish team plays like a team.
US v. Finland at 4 today. Drury is listed at 1LW. Killinen, Puistola and Honka are all in the Finnish lineup.

FWIW, I haven't watched any of these games but from looking at the line announcements, Drury has bounced around between center and wing. Many of these rosters seem to be over-loaded with centers, so there's been a lot of that going around. Suzuki has largely stuck at center but most guys seem to be sliding around all over the place.
