All Canadians are cheering for Finland.

I knew it. Thank you all Canadians out there.

Some Finnish tv channels are re-scheduling their popular tv programs that would have been on the air same time with the final.

It's going to get insane viewers. Breaking 1.5 million?

I think I read that yesterday's both games peaked at 1.7million (even the USA-RUS game) so quite steady 1.3m-1.8 is pretty much guaranteed.

In that case, yes. I'm guessing 1.8 is going to be certain high point. It's the final and tomorrow is national holiday. Wouldn't be surprised about closer to 2 million. Pretty awesome how much rise the juniors have gotten in few years. These days, people appreciate U20 to the level it's supposed to.

Sorry finns but, Go Russia Go!

Going to both games, pretty stocked! Bought my tickets months ago, i was certain that team Finland would play in the finals!

Hope the atmosphere is a bit better than yesterdays, the bunch of Swedish fans that were at the game were pretty noisy and were out-chanting the Finnish spectators at times.

Go Suomi!

If I had to pick my #2 team to cheer for, this year it would be Russia. So, I guess I'm happy about this outcome thus far.

 

[Scoresberg]

There's absolutely no way we lose this one. This story has come too far just to end for a loss in the finals. Russia has not played a solid game in this tournament. I know I'm probably gonna get some heat after this post but that's just my opinion on tonight. Finland 3-0. Cheers.

He said "it's the fourth final for Bragin and he's won 1 out of 3 in his career with Russia. Is very bad.".

Im doing the translating stuff here.

Ahh. Thanks. I didn't quite get it at first.

Samsonov must be up to the task there to bring gold for the good guys. He's a key to the outcome. As a Caps fan, I'm pumped to see what he's worth in such a big time moment.

You represent the nation ?

Have you heard of the Summit Series?

It's been 4 years, time to bring gold back to Russia . We believe in Bragin Boys!

Go, Russia!

 

[tony d]

Finland wins 3-2 on home ice.

 

[Bear12Good]

Finland wins 3-2 on home ice.

This is unlikely)
Russia is the strongest
in the world
Bragin is able to perform miracles on ice

The good thing is Russia probably don't take Finland seriously.

 

[ViD]

The good thing is Russia probably don't take Finland seriously.

Is this a joke?

 

[MaxV]

The good thing is Russia probably don't take Finland seriously.

Huh? I'm pretty sure both teams are taking the Final serioisly.
