Also Miroslav Blatak, kind of a Red Wings prospect except for the fact he's unlikely to ever come over, is in the Czech squad. Always wanted him to jump the pond, never to be, disappointing.

Interested in seeing him play.

What the hell? Any of you Finns care to explain a little better? Its hard to understand the tone of the translation.
It's basically just mind-games by Lidstrom. I'm tired right now, maybe some of the other Finns will translate it later. It's partly humorous, so don't be shocked.

They're just messing around, the text is very ironic....no bad blood so calm down.

Will there be any GDT's for the games starting tomorrow. I feel like there will be enough interest in all of the mens games as a whole to have a separate one for each game.

I might be able to do them if I have time later tonight. Just wondering if anyone else was planning on doing it.

This is a recent article on Fil I found from Google Finland News search. No idea what it says.

http://www.jatkoaika.fi/nhl.php?joukkue=De...et&id=10075

Um, that article is from October 30th, 2009. :blink:

Meanwhile, in Team Canada land, did anyone see the comments from Stevie Y about Crosby? He compared Crosby to "MJ"....

Well damn, that sucks. Stupid me. I was hoping that was a groin injury update.

MJ as in Michael Jordan eh? You know, that's not exactly an all-encompassing compliment as Jordan is still quite the scumbag but it's a side that the general public doesn't care to acknowledge.

Kinda hard for the public not to acknowledge it after that repulsive, douchebagey HOF speech.

I'm not sure how Team Sweden likes to go about with their defense pairs.

All eight of those guys can hold their own defensively. They'll count on Lidstrom, Kronwall, Enstrom and Johansson for offense while Ohlund, Murray, Oduya and Tallinder are more like defensive defensemen.

Lidstrom-Murray

Kronwall-Ohlund (Boom!)

Enstrom-Oduya

Johansson-Tallinder

They'll probably want Johansson to play the right point on one of the PP units though.

yeah, I never hear any positive stories about MJ he's a ******* piece of s***, but like Crosby they changed the rules for Jordon too (huge reason why the NBA is filled with a bunch of *******)
