Strengths
Teemu Forever: Though his production is starting to slow at the tender age of 43, Teemu Selanne will be asked to lead his Finnish teammates in this his sixth and final Olympic appearance. You won't find a better leader than the elder-statesman who has won at nearly every level he's competed at. He's the perfect fit to guide a relatively young roster to a podium placement, so long as he's not asked to be their leading scorer.
Tuukka Time: You'd be hard pressed to name a goalie that has performed as consistently as Tuukka Rask these past three NHL seasons. He's a two-time Stanley Cup finalist, winning the 2010 Championship behind then starter Tim Thomas. He's played in plenty of big games and knows how to handle the pressure. In the event he falters, Kari Lehtonen and Antti Niemi are both more than capable of picking up the slack.
Weaknesses
Injuries at forward: When injuries force two of your better players to withdraw from the Olympics, it immediately puts you behind the 8-ball. This was the case for Finland as they will play without the services of Mikko Koivu and Valteri Filppula. Now it will be up to players the likes of Mikael Granlund and rookie Aleksander Barkov to pick up the slack of their lost countrymen.
Lack of goal scorers: Upon first glance, no one on the Finns roster jumps off the page as a pure goal scorer. Granted, this has never been their modus operandi as they're more likely to beat you 1-0 than 5-4, it will be difficult to make it all the way to a gold medal final without putting pucks in the net.
