Well, I think someone guessed the score right, then. :handclap:

Still, it was pathetic from Finland. Perhaps the team was shaken by Niinimaa's departure...who knows. But it can't go on like this. :dunno:
 
Great comment by Jortikka: "Something needs to be done, or is it useless to even fly to NA" :lol

The Finnish can no longer talk about the Swedish team being lucky.

How many last minute goals did you see Finland making in this game to come from behind to a victory?
 
Well, it might have been a mediocre effort to advance today, but that's why you play hard to win the top seed in the round robin... to earn the right to get the easier game in the quarters. Nice job by Germany. They came awfully close.
 
the Germans where the better Team. More shots on Goal.
But the Finns had more luck an Kipper.
 
It sounded like Raimo Summanen said that we played good. He said that it's the win that matters, not style points and that this was 'great for Finnish hockey'. :lol

I'm happy that Finland won, but I think Germany deserved to win.
 
Great game from Germany against mentally shaken Finns. Eloranta must have swedish blood running through his veins.

Summanen is now grinning in TV. He`s saying that game against Sweden was biggest factor that Finns played so poorly. He denied that case Niinimaa had any effect. He promised that there will be lots of discussion about what happened after this tournament is over.

I`m dissappointed that Raimo didn`t beat that reporter or even strangle him.
 
Finland had some troubles here but nice to see them qualify for the semifinals, it would have been somewhat boring to have Germany there, just as it was with Belarus in 2002. They played a very good defensive hockey, and flashed now and then offensively, but I'm sure Finland will bounce back with their high-speed hockey in the semis!
 
No matter what everyone else in Finland thinks, Raimo Summanen is a great coach and an important man for Finnish hockey. Seriously.
 
Damm when are we gonna finally beat one of the big gunes in the knock out stages. :banghead: :cry:

We have been close so often. :shakehead

More shots on goal? LOL

Germany has at least 10-15 years to reach the level of any of these big 7 countries, dont fool yourself. But I am glad they are trying.
 
Great Game Germany :handclap: :handclap: :handclap:

Danke Dennis für das Autogram auf mein Trikot beim Spiel in Köln und danke Alexandra das es ermöglicht hast. :banana:

Exactly :lol I am starting to think Summanen is real a clown. Saying this was great game by us and we are now back on top of hockey world. My ass! With performance like this we are nowhere close to top! I am sure Summanen and boys will have enjoyable flyight to NA.
