yeah especially 3rd period has been random judging...
4-0. 🙂
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. 🙂

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'." 😛

(Swedish commentary, 5-5 and 6-5 goals)
(Finnish commentary, all goals)
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:
Recent Mertaranta action from this year's games:
