Finland Celebrations

[SaunaMajuri]

"poika saunoo" I bet Salmela is behind that accident....

 

[The Saw Is the Law]

according to the CEO of Finnish Ice Hockey Association the championship trophy is now broken and being fixed, well done

I still wonder why they didn't give many replica trophies to Finland insted one real trophy

It's not a surprise the trophy is broken

 

[Hans Moleman]

...because burning flags and jerseys is a sign of nationalist pride?

Hey now I never said that, generalizations are bad news. I heard people have burned things in other countries too, maybe we're all a little screwed up as a species, ya dig? But that'd be a generalization, and all of them are bad, except for the ones that aren't.

It is the replica, the "real" trophy has been used only on the on ice ceremony and was exchanged before leaving the arena.

And this is exactly why the replica is made

Some more pictures.

 

[teurasjate]

yeah it's a replica and a bad one at that!
so who cares what happens to it

 

[Finnpin]

The Trophy that is handed for the players on the ice is the real deal of course and it stays with IIHF... the replica stays with the Champs (every year) so actually that "destroyed" one is the one that is going to get put on show to the Hockey Museum in Tampere.

 

[The Saw Is the Law]

LOL they fix the trophy so we can destroy it again and again!!!

lol this " " looks almost like Nurminen headbanging the trophy...

Sundin... http://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/hockey/landslag/hockeyvm2011/article13028738.ab

Though burning his jersey was way over the top. After all he had already proven himself as being an arrogant snob.

How so? All he said was that loosing to Finland is not an option. The rest of what he said about the Finland - Sweden rivalry I'm sure you agree with, no?

Bet you guys are still hungover after that cellebration
Hope to see you in the finals next year. That would be epic.
