Aho was benched also and he's very good and plays the PK for the Finns. It's not so much an eye opener as it was he's 18 years old and they were protecting the lead. That's quite the veteran team there the Finns have, so makes sense to sit the kids when you are trying to protect a lead.
I'm under the impression that this tournament doesn't change anything, It's a small sample size and these scouts have watched these guys play 15 times or more probably all year long, 1 game isn't gonna make or break a guy.
