As everyone new here quickly finds out, we have a fairly large and vocal :D Finnish population. I (and there are at least a couple more of us floating around spidweb) am Canadian.

The tournament final, between Finland and Canada is on Tuesday, so we need a little discussion: Who do you think is gonna win? Who will be the key players? Do Finns (or any other non-Canadian peoples) even care about hockey? The tournament?

ANSWERS PEOPLE

This is simply no fun without Corey around. Even Rosy can't make up for it.

Also, if you were a true pessimist, you would say that either way, you lose. Stop dressing in black, poseur!

I love hockey, but I lost interest in the tournament long ago.

Since Canada likes beer, and I like beer... Go Canada!

Canada'll win. The key players will be everybody that touches the puck. I won't be watching it. I don't really care that much. NHL is more fun to watch.

Canada.

But then again, Finland was never meant to beat Sweden. Or the USA. Or Czech. I suppose it's possible. I certainly hope so. Damn, I even intend to stay up all night just to see Finland get beaten.

EDIT: Nice prediction, TGM.

Burly Canadians? WTF? Have you abandoned the burly Spaniards?

Anyway, better go to bed really early. About 8.00 PM, I would think. Like I did as a wee lad. After Pikku Kakkonen. Oh the nostalgia.

I actually want to be an exotic dancer, but in that case I guess the name works just as well.

It is also Magdalena Rose Suksi.

Talk about euphemistic.

I guess I'll answer my own questions now :D

I think Canada will take it, by a two-goal margin. Every forward on Canada's team has a lot of scoring potential, they're all stars, but Lecavelier has been so strong this tourny. He'll score at least one.

I'm dissapointed Finland came out over Sweden, who I thought had a much stronger team this year (I'm Swedish-Canadian ;) )

Is hockey big in Finland?

1. Swedish-Canadian + Finnish-Canadian = FIGHT! FIGHT!

2. Yes, hockey is big in Finland.

3. Keep your foul mouths off the Finnish language! Now I can never go skiing again without thinking on porn stars. And that, friends, is a weird combination.

Ha, we won. Sadly, I was watching The Punisher with friends instead of glued to the game. I'm a bad Canadian, I know. Did I miss any spectacular shots, or was it all humdrum playing by the book ?

Part of a shot contest is knowing when to say "Yeah, I'm done", and not yelling "Frrreeedom !" like William Wallace instead.
