Foppa who? Yeah,let's not sign his worthless a**. Just retire already.

And don't forget the 8-3 win against the Swedes in the Czech tournament in September.

[FinRedWing 172]

Hoho

Yeah,that was 3,5 yrs ago. Vancouver can't come soon enough. Can't wait to see you guys bomb.

[T-Ruff 47]

I love the Sweden/Finland rivalry

[Jim Morrison 0]

Lol, someone's angry at Sweden Understandable though, little brother country.

[WpgMikos 17]

How did Forsberg play?

[hak 21]

what do you mean with bomb?... as in choke? why do you think so?

it just does not compute with me reading that comment from a FIN

:battle:

Yeah,choke. We always bomb in the finals,if you bomb - it's against the likes of Belarus.

Stefan Liv allowed 7 goals in 2 periods.

7-0 (2-0,5-0,0-0)

And that would be why the Wings didn't re-sign him.

I remember in Zetterberg's Spotlight Feature on FSN than when he talked about that loss it looked as if he was about to cry. I suppose that loss really hits close to home, npi.

[Jocke 53]

The "little brother complex" always seem to help Finland in unimportant games such as this one where the Swedes don't really seem to care unlike the Finns

[FinWing 26]

I was watching, good game. Sure these Euro Hockey Tour games are somewhat meaningless but it's unheard of for Finland to beat Sweden 7-0 (and 8-3 in the Czech Republic EHT tournament).

[titanium2 867]

Yeah,choke. We always bomb in the finals,if you bomb - it's against the likes of Belarus.

Hey yeah... Again... http://www.hockeycanada.ca/index.php?ci_id...mp;game_id=1679

At least Adam Almqvist scored.

[dat's sick 1,002]

Stefan Liv allowed 7 goals in 2 periods.

7-0 (2-0,5-0,0-0)

I've never liked Liv, but you can't blame more than 1 or 2 goals on him.. Sweden were just beyond awful and didn't seem to care.

How did Forsberg play?

Kind of like what you'd expect from someone who has barely played a game in years. The talent is most definitely still there, but not the pace and the tempo.

He was probably one of the better swedish players in the 3-game tournament, but that doesn't say a lot. He needs to start practicing with a real team (instead of juniors like he has been) to get his legs going. At times he was really impressive though, and I have no doubt that he could still be a very good player in the NHL, but like I said he needs some time to get into game-shape.

[Guest EZBAKETHAGANGSTA]

I chuckeled a little, got to love your passion for the game. That is one of the main reasons I still come here, It is so cool to see how many Wing's fans are from other countries. Simply Incredible. I wish the average North American Fan had the passion you guys do.

On another note can anyone say how Forsberg played?

EDIT: Just read post above me. Sorry for being dumb.

try read a history book or just google the history of past tournaments. you might find some contradiction in your statements

yes that belarus game was a choke and it was a harsh way to get eliminated. but you know what make it easier to live with? lots and lots of gold medals. olympic gold medals and WCH gold medals.

how's your memories from past tournaments?

well silver is good sometimes also.. i could actually enjoy the silver medal we got in 2003.. oh you don't remember? hm 2003, finland was the host nation that year, playing on home ice in front of their own people. after several disappointing eliminations past tournaments, they were hyped to win and redeem themselves in front of a home crowd this year. They are winners and not chokers like their little brother Sweden as we already know! anyway.. Finland and Sweden play eachother in the quarter finals. Finland up 5-1 in the second period. Sweden (with forsberg stepping up) scores 5 unanswered goals to win the game 6-5 and advance to semis while finland got eliminated.

so yeah.. silver is not too shabby sometimes!

cheers!

Finland is always doing fine in meaningless tournaments but they just can't win anything important.

Den glider in!

[FinRedWing 172]

We do choke against Sweden big time,like in once a decade. Horrible memories,

Ugh,that video is proof enough why Foppa should just call it quits. Fast.

at least you won gold against us in 1995! those should be good memories.. i remember that day like it was yesterday. i celebrated my 10th birthday and had a birthday party the very same day the finals were played. me and some of my friends watched the game and after sweden lost i just sat in my room and didnt want to do anything for the rest of the day.. worst birthday ever

i don't even wanna know how it felt to lose the olympic finals 2006... or after that 6-5 comeback on home ice in 2003. woah

[Finnish Wing 110]

Hoho

This was a classic one. Win the big games. That's what it's all about. We dominated the whole tournament until that game.

[Guest mindfly]

Never thought about it back then but its funny that all goals sweden scored in the final were from red wing players
