[DoubleGold]

Huh? Didn't see who was but it had to be Säteri, right?

Ylilauta always votes him as the best player in C-More's poll. It's pretty funny.

Ahh, I haven't heard of that. Yeah, that's pretty funny. Has he been the #1 in every game?

 

[Bruce Granville]

Alright, now Sweden needs to win for the dream game. I rather watch FIN-SWE than FIN-SUI, even though it will be tougher.

Switzerland ftw!
Sweden can be beaten in a final only.

Korpisalo was #1 in the Switzerland game when he was pulled in the first period

When he was out of the lineup they voted Korpisalo even though he was pulled after allowing two goals.

Almost. Korpisalo was voted as the best player when he let in 2 goals and had to be pulled out in the first period .

Well played Team Finland.
Didn't see 1st period but during those 40 minutes ( 2 periods) what i saw USA was disappointment.

But Finland's defence shutdown USA's offence really well and Säteri was excellent.
This result ( advancing to semifinals) means that Lauri Marjamaki won't lost his job Finland's head coach.

I'm right now laughing my ass off to all those home couch experts who wanted Marjamaki get fired.

Best player of the game: Jesseeeeee Puljujärviiiiiii

OMG! LOL!!!

[mod] I predicted Finland to win 4-2 today due to arrogant interviews from US players, good line changes (especially Aho as a 2nd line C) and I knew our guys were motivated af after the last game. Lack of finishing skills from our guys and absymal USA: 2-0.

 

[Colorado Avalanche]

Wow, Finland played great game. USA had no chance. Great game defensively.

 

[Mauler]

Great job Finland much respect // Swede

 

[Hockeyisl1fe]

Finlandia playing like **** in the round robin and still advances to the semis. [MOD]

You ever listen to the Lindgren & Sihvonen radio show? If not, you should. The love Sihvonen has for Tamminen is almost creepy.

This American team looked like the crappy US teams from a decade ago or so, when they were mostly interested in partying and suffering from hangovers.

Decades ? This is the first year in a long time the Americans brought a competitive team

Nah, they've had good teams recently. Before that it was pretty bad. I volunteered in the 2003 Championships in Helsinki and it was quite amusing to see some of the American players looking really pale and nauseous on a game day morning.

 

[Lempo]

Which semi is ours? Earlier or later?

 

[Loffer]

Hallelujah

 

[Guardian17]

I'm surprised the US did not advance.

 

[MoeTheHobo]

Which semi is ours? Earlier or later?

Most likely the later

 

[MilPolBN]

I have register just in order to say: Congrats, Suomi!

 

[Loffer]

Well, the international and European seasons are luckily over after the weekend. So, I can deal with this, probably. Hah.
