[Guest ToMaToToWnWinGsFaN_24]

Who scored?

tuomo ruutu

[Z and D for the C 712]

Killer PP. 3 for 3.

If this team doesn't get a medal I'll be shocked.

[Guest ToMaToToWnWinGsFaN_24]

Killer PP. 3 for 3.

If this team doesn't get a medal I'll be shocked.

now 3 for 4..but still..yes...they are dynamite on the pp!

[titanium2 867]

If this team doesn't get a medal I'll be shocked.

Really?

[Z and D for the C 712]

Really?

Yup. They just look great, and I know they haven't played against killer competition so far but I have faith.

[FinRedWing 172]

Germany's not making it easy for them,but a solid game so far. Selanne has now scored more points than anyone in the Olympic history.

[titanium2 867]

Yup. They just look great, and I know they haven't played against killer competition so far but I have faith.

Man... I'm not able to watch the game right now but as soon as I get access to my DVR then I gotta watch this thing.

We'll know for sure after Sunday. I kind of expect Sweden to win that one.

[dropkickshanahans 463]

O_O

beautiful passing.

[FinRedWing 172]

Jarkko Ruutu again? Wow,that's the game.

Great pass by Fil there.

[Z and D for the C 712]

Just great chemistry on this team. Amazing cycling, amazing puck movement.

And Filppula with a sweet pass.

[dropkickshanahans 463]

Another great pass by Filppula. Too bad they couldn't convert on the goal because that was a beauty.

[titanium2 867]

I would love for Finland to get a medal, but if I were fit them into my dream (yet realistic) ranking then that pushes out Canada.

[Z and D for the C 712]

We'll know for sure after Sunday. I kind of expect Sweden to win that one.

I definitely see Finland winning that game. It'll be a good one though.

[Z and D for the C 712]

4 for 5 on the PP.

[dropkickshanahans 463]

I definitely see Finland winning that game. It'll be a good one though.

I agree. I haven't seen much from Sweden to think otherwise.

[Guest ToMaToToWnWinGsFaN_24]

well it was an entertaining game...if your a finland fan..lolol

[FunkedUp 29]

I believe this win puts Finland in first place after 2 games.

[Aussie_Wing 354]

Finland once again super impressive.

Just an incredibly solid hockey team, deserve favourtism vs Sweden.

How awesome was that pass by Flip to Koivu?

[EuroTwin 240]

Great game by Finland. I hope Germany can score a few goals before the Olympics are over, give themselves something to cheer about.

[Z and D for the C 712]

How awesome was that pass by Flip to Koivu?

So awesome. Too bad those finnish can't finish.
