I’m going to have to root for the Nordic country in this one.

I’m going to have to root for the Nordic country in this one.

I root for the Scandinavian team.

 

[NyQuil]

I root for the Scandinavian team.

I’m not going to fall for that one.

Try calling someone from Newfoundland from the Maritime Provinces instead of being from the Atlantic Provinces and they’ll bite your head off.

Sweden is part of Scandinavia, Finland is not.

 

[NyQuil]

Sweden is part of Scandinavia, Finland is not.

Exactly.

You guys always try to trick us North Americans with that.

We have the Atlantic Provinces with PEI, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and the Maritime Provinces which is the same list only without Newfoundland.

Include Newfoundland in the wrong term and they get ornery.

 

[Shocker]

Guess we have to win so crowd doesn't need to dodge flying medals.

Both are

 

[NyQuil]

Both are

 

[Anichels]

Is Höglander playing?

 

[Czechboy]

I like both teams... picking 4-3. Refs will suck

* yes, I made the same prediction for the Gold medal game.lol

 

[The Cannon of Tesoma]

If Sweden vs Russia was anyway indicative for what its going to be then Svea Mamma will gently feed some salty stuff to younglings coming from its eastern provinces, and that is going to be messy process.

Dear neighbors were far better in hockey...

 

[llwyd]

Well, I think it will be a decent game as there is rivalry and both teams usually do show up even in bronze matches. Hopefully tempers will stay calm, if the reffing is bad, this game could easily get out of hand.

 

[The Cannon of Tesoma]

Game versus Sweden is the worst possible match up for Finns after such suck ass performance against Canada.

 

[ebergeist]

I think sweden takes this in the OT. 3-2 for the swedes.

 

[Brun0]

Couldnt care less, hope hullu Sweden wins

 

[Loffer]

Always look at the bright side of a stick strife. Youthful Lions got badly spanked by a hurricane from Nova Scotia and Cape Breton to Kodiak, sorry Graham Island - so great wide open vast and endless is the harsh but loving lap of the mother Canada which produces offspring of hockey as if mushrooms in the rain under the green tender but strong and slender shadowy velvet arms of Finnish forests.

I mean, we have a bitter-sweet bronze game between Sweden and Finland which should be nothing short of a superb warm-up for a terrific final between Canada and Russia, the two most skillful and hungry teams of the tournament. Let the winners win and losers lose - so it goes in life and on the wild side.

 

[Howe Elbows 9]

How much confidence does Annunen have today? Despite having a tough game yesterday, I still think he is clearly the most valuable player for Finland.

 

[The Iron Goalie]

 

[VictorLustig]

Quite surprising. Wonder if they would have let him play in a gold medal game.

 

[ZEBROA]

Guess we have to win so crowd doesn't need to dodge flying medals.

What! Do you realy want to miss that?

 

[ZEBROA]

I realy dont care if Finland wins. Oh no im getting old! Or sad... or both.

 

[Macbanan]

Couldnt care less, hope hullu Sweden wins

It's good that you at least say whether you care or not beforehand and not after the game. I just hope it has nothing to do with how badly Finland played yesterday and that how some may be fearing a loss and are trying not to care.

Not caring about medals is pretty uncharacteristic for finns in my opinion.

I know I care, not half as much as a gold game but it still matters to me. Anyway, I hope that's the last poster who shows up just to state how little they care.

It's better to just not post, it's more convincing too...

 

[llwyd]

It's better to just not post, it's more convincing too...

Well, I certainly do care, but would care way less if it were the Czechs or Slovaks or Germans. Sweden motivates, but should we lose I think I would get over it in hours. Unlike a certain match in Italy that I haven't yet gotten over and it's well over a decade already...

 

[FinPanda]

I'd put my money on Sweden.
