Combining way too heavy drinking to hockey celebrations is blah. The mass celebrations themselves are incredibly awesome. Cmon fellow Finns, let your balls grow big enough so that you don't need to get way too drunk in order to be able to celebrate like crazy.

It's fun immediately after we win and just go apeshit at tori, but wouldn't suit the situation when the team is actually here.

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.

Perhaps not a real country, but they certainly produce outstanding beer.

Nice moralizing, we are and we will be celebrating just the way we like.

Ofc heavy drinking with negative side effects (violence etc) would be different case. But this is a whole opposite so stop being ridicilous hypocrite

To be completely honest, I'm positively surprised by the fact that they're all somewhat sober. I guess 2011 taught them something. They gave the booze locker keys to the Team Manager Timo Jutila for safekeeping, and he was the first man to raid it. Then there was the famous drunk interview by Anssi Salmela. The most hilarious part of it was when the mike remained hot, and the Finnish media manager Janne Lahti confronted the reporter off screen...

Lahti: Hey, guys, you're not showing this anywhere, okay?
Reporter: We were on live...
Lahti: You're not f***ing serious!
Reporter: I am, sorry... but it was just a web stream.
(Lahti mumbles something unintelligible, but it was clearly not for the children's ears.)

Finns don't care about hockey or domestic league that much but WHC seems to be even bigger than Olympic hockey.

Finnish hockey leagues are getting pathetic audience compared to swedish and germans for example.

Hockey has the biggest audiences BY FAR in Finland, why do you compare them to other (bigger) countries? Not interested about audiences in Sweden or Germany

I don't know how you can say with a straight face that Finns "don't care about hockey". It's by far the most popular sport in the country.

Is the sport popular or the celebration part? Numbers indicate that it's the celebration part.

My girlfriends parents are fanatics, they watch every Tappara game, at home mostly and rarely in the arena.
One reason is the piss poor parking around the arena and public transport from where they live.
They also watch NHL.
Many I know are similar, but Liiga for sure does need upgrading as a product, mainly services and access to the teams by fans, just copy NHL and it would pick up.
