It's weird to see some people say we don't play hockey unless its boring and lame. Why would we run and gun against teams like Russia and Canada? We can't win like that. We'd lose 14-3
Some people only see goals, and miss most of the hockey. Besides, if you were a fan of Russia or Canada, would you rather lose 1-0 or 3-1, or win 14-3?
 
That title might go to Belgium, even if it is not a real country.
Just remembered I have two Hoegaardens in the fridge, get some now.

I like Belgium beer a lot. My favorite beers are mostly imported ones.

Those NH90s and Little Birds make one of the best special forces aviation units in the world, ask the Americans, Brits or the Aussies that know them and can compare.
The Czech just bought old Cobras (and Blackhawks for transport). Ask the Aussies how they like their Tigers. Eurocopter just doesn't have a good track record. Do the Swedes even have their NH90's operational? We're struggling with our fleet. It's a forward looking bird but it's been problematic.
 
I think nah.

Won Gold 2015-16, Silver 2017 & 2019. Still sit on #1. 26 Gold all-time behind only Russia's 27.
IIHF - World Ranking

Considering the style of the loss I'd setup a few strats and drills to score on a Finnish-style "10 minute golden turtle defense".
It was a trick question!

You won!!!

Can we interview you now?
 
Finland has probably the best beer in the world (not Carlsberg ya freakin' soft USA/Canucks drunkyards!) ... and it's named Karhu (Bear).

And probably the best metal-music to drink it to too: Home - Metal From Finland
Never seen Karhu for sale here, but I'll keep an eye out for it. (Yes, Carlsberg sucks.)

Finnish death metal is the best, according to my son (death metal isn't really my thing).

Yikes, a site for promoting metal? That kind of takes the whole idea away from it. (For the part that's not elevator muzak yet.)

Don't go for the original Norge Svart yet, there's "melodic death metal" that isn't suicidal or destructive after all (because we love ourselves too much in the end).

This is kind of aggressive but it's funny if you take it as a statement to somebody else:



Go from there. Happy journey, Jamason. Ask anytime, everyone is dying to recommend bands and music.
 
If they might make the A team, then it certainly is not an E team.
Define b team and c team tho. B to me has some nhlers but misses few brightest. This is C, maybe you could argue D as no real nhlers (those 2 who played some games were mostly ahlers) at all, C team could have just few of the basic nhl guys like haula, donskoi, risto, vatanen, lehterä, kapanen, määttä, lindell, some goalie ect. None of those are in so its D team.

E this aint, argubly D and at best C

I remember the real punk scene, before it got commercial, so yeah, "metal muzak" strikes a chord - and not a power one.

I know Children of Bosom, although Raatikanen (spelling?) isn't my favorite drummer.

Maybe I'm just old. :wally:

The stats are good in Finland, even compared to Swedish Blackhawks.
