Entertaining game. Not that well played by any of the teams though, but at least we got to pay back for Rosno Cup (although Marcus Nilson failed to kick Kovalchuks bottom).

Oh, thank god no. :banghead: :mad: It's no wonder SM-liiga ratings aren't that good with that mockery of a hockey broadcast. But why "Kuningas", Predatore? Luleå fan?

Judging from the taunts I got in school when Finland lost any game, I'd say that Jutila is an icon for great play a bit allover sweden, and not just for Luleå fans...

What they usually taunted was something like "no Jutila, no win", or "Whatcha gonna do now that Jutila isn't there?" etc. etc.
 
Well now that I've seen the Sweden / Russia game, I must say that in spite of the score, the Russians outplayed the Swedes, especially in the 3rd period, where they had control of the game for about 15 minutes. The Russians just can't score goals ... and then Perezhogin hits the post ... Afanasenkov missed a golden opportunity ... always the same problem, can't score!

Russia and Sweden play a 2-part final in April for the title while Finland and Czech Rep. will play a 2-part "bronze medal" game (don't know if they actually give medals).

First time in 5 years that Finland didn't won't win the EHT. Sacking Summanen sure looks smart now... :p: :mad:

Why did they fire him? I thought he did a great job for the World Cup. Finland was without a doubt the best coached team besides Canada.

Chemistry problems with some players and apparently also with some big shots behind the scenes played a role. In other words, Summanen has a real difficult personality. He's got heart but he's lacking in social skills, he doesn't know how handle people properly.

Also, he kept going back and forth about continuing as the national team head coach. It was rather confusing to watch.
 
I think the underdog mentality plays in too :P subconsciously Finland (the federation) just don't want to win... And when a guy that exemplifies the words "Hard work" and "team effort"... poof he's gone.
 
I like the teams Erkka puts together, but I've seen more intensity in Woody Allen movies. Under Erkka every player pretty much looks unmotivated and really shines of uninterest.
