It's too bad we Finns didn't have our dream final for this season of Stars - Panthers but this will do nicely.

 

[CashMash]

Thank goodness

 

[ViD]

And the second Russian

 

[Nosferatu]

Nice to see a russian win for a change. I also liked when the Polish guy won few in the 80’s

"it's nice" after POMO interview??? lol mitä vittu?

 

[FinPanda]

I was so excited when the game was over. Only time I've been this excited about hockey win was when Finland won our WHC golds in different levels. This genuinely is huge for us.

 

[behemolari]

Now I am curious who was the Polish guy? I don't suppose you mean the Ukrainian guy?

 

[Sota Popinski]

Don Cherry absolutely seething right now

 

[psycat]

Unfortunate.

 

[Shocker]

So many Swedes on that Panthers team: Stenlund, Ekman, Larsson, Forsling, Lundell, Ekblad.

Tuomo Ruutu also became the first Finnish assistant coach to win the cup. 2022 Jussi Parkkila won as a goalie coach.

 

[Janvonpobben]

Sweden was first in 2002

Don't forger Tuomo Ruutu, the first Finnish (assistant) coach to win the cup.

 

[Slimmy]

Well deserved and feel good moment all around. Easy team and captain to root for. Also very happy for OEL.

Ekblad on that list is funny, because the last member of his family that wasn't Canadian was his great-grandfather. At that point we should just say there aren't any Canadian or American players unless they're indigenous.

Lundell is even funnier, since he has no ties to Sweden. Atleast Ekblad has some fairly recent family ties to Sweden.

That's ten years before you were born, judging by the quality of your posts.

Sweden was the first Finnish captain to hoist the Stanley Cup when Yzerman did it in 2002?

Congrats to Barkov. He's an outstanding player and an even better person. He earned this.

I think you mean 2008.
