Wow, what an amazing game that was against the Czech Republic. Vincent Lecavalier scores in overtime, and we take it 4-3. I couldn't believe it when Patrick Elias scored just SIX SECONDS after Kris Draper put us ahead a goal in the third. Cardiac fucking arrest. I love this matchup, Finland is my second favorite hockey nation. Their captain Saku Koivu is also the captain of the Montreal Canadiens, and my all-time favorite player, so... I hate to cheer against that little beautiful bastard, the Little Viking (he scored the winning goal against the US on Friday, awesome). But I have to. This would be an INCREDIBLE upset if they managed to beat us. It's hard to believe they even beat the USA. If it they DO beat us, well... seeing Captain Koivu lead his team to the win would be a nice consolation prize, especially considering what he's been through. Anybody following the World Cup? Any Finnish hockey fans here? Do Swedish hockey fans HATE the Finnish team, is there a major rivalry there, or would they WANT the Fins to be the David to our Goliath? |

Koivu after scoring the clincher against the US. This championship game is perfect. Second best Finnish player ever next to Jari Kurri, for my money, I'd take him over Teemu Selanne any day. |

Maybe you're thinking of Paul Coffey? Maybe the fastest skating hockey player ever. But he didn't play in Lillehammer, NHL players weren't allowed to participate in the Olympics back then (the World Cup has the BEST hockey players in the world, much tougher teams than there would have been in Lillehammer, better hockey). Sweden won the Gold that year,Peter Forsberg with the famous ''stamp'' goal. Prediction- Canada 4- Mario Lemieux, Joe Sakic, Martin St. Louis, Shane Doan Finland 1- Saku Koivu |

i think it will be a much closer final than that... should be a classic goaltender's matchup... although it could just as easily be a shootout like it was tonight... |

THAT GAME SUCKED, CANADA HAD NO DEFENCE.,., THEY LET THE CZECHS SCORE RIGHT AFTER THEY DID.,., THE ONLY REASON IT WASN'T 4-4 WAS CAUSE IT WAS SUDDEN DEATH.,., BUT I'M CANADIAN AND AM HAPPY., |

Anyone watching the game? Electric atmosphere, this would be the biggest achievement in Finnish hockey, ever. But it took only 50 seconds for Canada to draw first blood... Mario Lemieux showing why he's the second best hockey player ever. What a pass, boy did he ever thread the needle. But anything can happen in the next... 59 minutes. |

Joe Sakic scored the first one on a one timer on a cross ice pass from Mario Lemieux 52 seconds into the game. Mikko Eloranta scored for Finland on a screened tip. And it's now 2-1, Canada. Scott Niedermayer scored a HORRIBLE goal on Kiprusoff! A 4 on 2, a weak shot from the top of the circle, beat him five hole... awful. I'd feel bad for him if that goal turns out to be the game winner... he's been so good up in the World Cup up to now, and he hasn't really been BAD in this game... but you CAN'T give up goals like that in championship games, you just can't. |
