I am Canadian,, the summit series was a game. No one died.

[Captain And Coke]

You know why Finland does not score many deflection goals? It is because Finns don't tip!

*bad dum tiss*

Alright, trash talking commenced. It is the best I can do until I find some coffee.

That is a good one because it is true. We don't have tipping culture.

Finns just have naturally good balance?

Umm not sure if I understand.

Yea we tip if we play hockey, but I meant overall tipping with money, we don't have a culture to do it.

 

[Fried Tree Sap]

Looks like Canada is wearing their blacks again. They're fun as a once a tournament third jersey, but I'm not a huge fan of using them more than the reds.

I believe that was a joke, as in Finns don't have a tipping (over) culture hence we have good balance

 

[Kaako Kappo]

Either Annunen steals this or we play for bronze

Ah I see now

 

[Captain And Coke]

I am not afraid to admit that my enjoyment of watching international hockey has greatly inspired me to learn more about the many other cultures that we share this game with over the years.

In the tipping aspect, I am mostly a Finn too.

Alright Suomi, our mutual love and respect ends for the next while. Game day baby.

Our Canadian boys need to ****ing bury you. Hoping we play the Canadian Way and run the smaller Finns completely out of the building. We need to physically impose our will this game and the scoring will come from it after.

It will be a close game, Annunen will save or kill us.

But not get match penalties...

But not get match penalties...

Or phantom calls because we hit too hard on the forecheck (see: Nolan Foote’s 5 + game when he murdered that Slovak on the forecheck).

That's the catch.

 

[1OApick]

Who?

He is Kimi

 

[Hasa92]

In light of this fact, why Finland is always considered the underdog?

And if Finland wins someone, it's always because of shutting down the opponent, not because of great offense and generally being the better team?

This.

I know roster wise this years team wasn't expected to compete for gold but how many times Finland has to win this tournament to not be considered an underdog?

 

[tapi]

Ez for Canada

 

[dm1371]

3-1 Canada

 

[FinPanda]

3-1 Canada

I like your prediction as it is not like 5-1 or 6-1 bs.

 

[jj cale]

First thing to get settled: where are the refs from calling this game? they sure as hell better not be from belarus, they have had it in for us for ages.

 

[Ronnie Residue]

Yes it was. Not a great one mind you haha.

Ah I see now

It wasn’t a great joke don’t worry

 

[Ronnie Residue]

Well I’m already stressing hard. Can we get this over with?

 

[NyQuil]

Winner faces Russia.

 

[BusQuets]

Hopefully Finland wins. Russia vs Finland games have been the most entertaining and physical in the international tournaments for years now. Perfect gold medal game.
