The latest round of the Scandinavian rivalry between Team Finland and Team Sweden has officially been exciting. In the two teams’ first two tune up games for the World Cup of Hockey, we’ve seen one game go to the Finns and one to the Swedes. Both teams showed a lot of skill and it seems that they’ll both be playing at a high level when they shift to tournament play in Toronto next weekend.
In the first two games for Finland it’s been obvious that the three players on their roster from the Minnesota Wild are absolutely invaluable to their team’s chances to win the tournament.
