LMAO!

From the first few minutes, it looks like it could get exciting. 😀

I wish the fins the best of luck. They're gonna need it. 😛

2-0! 🙂

what a save! our niklas bäckström is way better than your nicklas bäckström! 🙂

3-0!!!!!!!!!

Liv is nowhere near as good a goalie as Lundqvist. 🙁

Also, I don't understand what's wrong with the referees. They keep making plain wrong decisions!

Oh well, congratulations Finland. 🙂

I must say I was mighty impressed by your Bäckström. He's done some excellent rescues in this game. Excellent!

I'm also happy to see how our own players just wouldn't quit. They kept fighting even when it was obviously over (at 3-0). There's pride in that.

Well, Canada vs. Russia next. 🙂

sweden has never quit as far as I can remember, and I remember especially that one particular game which was 5-1 for finland in the first period. it was horrifying to watch! 😀

I remember that game with a silly kind of fondness. 😏

I never saw that happening here though. It was a good game, but Bäckström was simply too tight, and our own defense was... not so good. 😵

Ok, this thread is almost disney family now, so I have to say it: "You know, I actually never thought the fins were good at anything but brilliant 'schlager'." 😛

I have to say Mertaranta is the superior commentator--my fellow Finns can imagine the noise if the position had been the other way around.

Classic Mertaranta from 1999 when Finns tie the game at 2 seconds before the end of the game:

hahah, I was just vomiting like a geysir when the finnish team listened to crappy finnish schlagers in the locker room (during interviews). 🙂

fortunately swedish schlagers are even worse! 😵
