I've just punched a hole through my wall.
The Finns certainly look strong. They're aggressive, their goaltending hasn't suffered with Kiprusoff's withdrawal, and their defense is incredible. I reall, REALLY hope Canada can get out of this funk...
i'm sure canada will start playing a bit more like a team in the next couple of matches, they'll have a tough quater final though. looks like russia or sweden.

sweden didn't look to hot today without peter forsberg, but still manged to beat the us 🙂
It was good to see the Swedish team beat USA without foppa. It proves that the team as a whole is good. However, they were nothing compared to Finland today. I hope they'll get better.

He's kinda like a legend over here and I imagine he'll be remembered a loooong time after he's stopped playing. 😀
Of course, Sudden is also a nickname to be revered. Sudden would be a 110 Kg monster on the ice. Also known as Mats Sundin.

In Toronto, we call Mats "Deaner". At least I do...

Foppa on the other hand has been injured a lot which is sad, cause he's a great player. They say he's alright now and he looked good yesterday. So we'll see if he can take Sweden to glorious victories now.
To bad for Canada today. They played brutal in the second and third period, but they really screwed up those powerplays. No "expert" here in Sweden were expecting Finland to do so well, and there they are, totally undefeated thus far. So much for experts. 🙂
