Then the next good right shooting Finnish defense guy will born? Maybe 2030?

I heard Karalahti stopped boozing and drugs, and is in better shape than ever, hence 1975 is your answer

I found a nice writeup on HF that illustrates my point very well..

Does Finland have the best 23-under forward line by any country?

Looking at what a few of the young Finns are accomplishing these days, could Finland have the most dominant, legit, young line in the game? Age 23 and under...

Laine-Barkov-Rantanen

All three players are playing at roughly a PPG clip - Barkov is above, Rantanen exactly a PPG and Laine slightly under but is one of the elite snipers on the planet.

All three of these kids are insanely skilled and they are all massive in size, 6-4 and thick. And, when you think of it, they sort of form the perfect chemistry...

Laine is a pure shooter - perhaps one of the two or three best on the globe. Barkov is a hulking, two-way center who can pass and shoot equally as good. He's also a tremendous playmaker who thrives on deception. And he has world class puck possession skills. Rantanten is a top-end utility knife player who protects the puck as good as anyone in the league, pretty much. And, like Barkov, he can pass and shoot equally as well, which would play right into the hands of Laine. The thing is - if you try to take away Laine, Barkov and Rantanen can slice you apart themselves. If you don't pay special attention to Laine, he'll score a ton. Pick your poison.

I'm sure Canada and the US have some dynamic options as well, headlined by McDavid and Matthews, but I'm hard pressed to think of a legit possible line that matches this one in terms of size, skill and potential chemistry.

Then behind Laine-Barkov-Rantanen, you have have similar young guns who are massive in size with tons of speed and skill, and no real weaknesses in their game

Let's say a line of

Puljujärvi(or possibly Kakko) - Kotkaniemi (or Borgström) - Vesalainen

Mark my words in 5 years this team is going to walk over Sweden. All they have is 160 lbs pencilneck Pettersson LMAO

I wasn't aware that Russia was by far the best nation ever at Ice Hockey with 27 World titles. I thought it was Sweden or Canada but they are not even slightly close.

Canadians never play full power once they did when Sidney Crosby needed the medal and they literally took the best players and "raped" everyone.
