Finland reached the World Cup final by beating Germany 2-1 in Saturday's semi-final despite firing only 17 shots.
The Finnish game was then criticized by SVT's experts who stated that it was effective, but not very beautiful or entertaining.
Jonas Andersson therefore hopes that Canada will score the first goal today.
- Then Finland is forced to move forward a bit, otherwise it can be a very tight match because Finland plays very, very defensively, the expert says.
You were not completely satisfied with the entertainment value yesterday?
- No, it was downright deplorable.
You have to respect the way the Finnish players implement the match plan, but the entertainment value against Germany was non-existent.
At the same time: At this level it is about winning matches and in a world championship it does not matter if it is beautiful or not, Andersson says and continues:
- If Finland is allowed to play on the lead, they are very disciplined and then in the name of honesty not much happens, so I hope that Canada scores the first goal.
"It speaks for Finland"
What speaks for Canada and Finland, respectively?
- Canada is very strong when they play as they did against the USA, that is, puts down pucks, puts pressure and gets the game along the edge.
It is very impressive how they have turned around this whole tournament, but Finland has also impressed a lot just considering how structured they are on the defensive.
They make virtually no mistakes and have only conceded eleven goals in the entire tournament.
That speaks for Finland.
How do you think it ends and who decides?
- I say 2-1 to Finland and Anton Lundell sets the final goal.
You can watch the World Cup final on SVT2.
