RE: Finland Has Won Ice Hockey World Championship 2019!
I love it when a non favorite or an underdog wins. This shows you that they are a proper team and play as a team playing the more fancied teams with the highly paid super stars.
Finland was really an underdog in this tournament because of the inexperience of the team. On the other hand, the top of ice hockey has become broader in the last 20-30 years. The national teams of Germany and Switzerland have done much better than usual in the last decade.
This is the world ranking table:

Canada is #1 with 3705 points, Russia is #2 with 3640 points, Finland is #3 with 3615 points. Sweden is fourth at the same points as Finland. Czech Republic is fifth at 3465 points. There is an interval of 20 in points awarded between a difference of one in placements.
