Serapth 3 Report post Posted February 26, 2010 As this game seems to be pretty much over.... I'll open the first of my many hockey beers for today. Got a Duchy Originals Organic Ale, picked it up off the shelf site unseen, apparently Prince Charles founded the brewery... had I known that, I probably wouldnt have purchased it. Just had a sip and remembered I really dont like ales.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just had a sip and remembered I really dont like ales.... My good luck beer has been Miller Lite, being that it's Miller Time and all. Considered getting something nice and fancy, but that usually only screws things up. EDITL: "No penalty. You're welcome."

Third Man In 2,091 Report post Posted February 26, 2010 (edited) I know Oli Jokinen has a reputation of being pure cancer in the locker room, is it all just a Finnish thing? Is this racist? j/k Edited February 26, 2010 by Third Man In Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockeytown Red Wings 245 Report post Posted February 26, 2010 (edited) Is this racist? j/k It's certainly nationalist. I dont think the Fins are a race of their own are they? Edited February 26, 2010 by Hockeytown Red Wings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hillbillywingsfan 794 Report post Posted February 26, 2010 Aaah, the continued inferiority complex of a Titans fan. It's ok that the Packers are like the Red Wings and the Titans are....like...well....the Blue Jackets. Zero history and nothing to show for their time in existence. hahahahahah well well.....welll........shut up.=) BURNNNN!!! f the packers I believe someone mentioned Ruutu was going to be a dirty punk. kane needs to get his third off of ruutu's skull.

Third Man In 2,091 Report post Posted February 26, 2010 I think that Rafi's much more effective when he's got someone in the slot to deflect the shot-pass like Parise (hint hint Red Wings) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted February 26, 2010 Finland playing like Sweden did: no energy, no passion, no pride. You're not going to win any games, let alone 1-on-1 battles, playing like they do right now. I don't see Canada losing against Slovakia so we've got a dream match-up in the final at least. Go USA! Look, I didn't love how Sweden played. But Finland has completely failed in every way possible. Sweden still dominated the game, and guys like Forsberg, Zetterberg, the Sedins etc. showed passion, pride and energy to me. No one in Finland has come to play. USA is better than Slovakia but there is still no comparison. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nah, Finland isn't really a country either, its just a place Sweden keeps around so they don't have to be neighbors with Russia. j/k Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Though we might see Sunday if the first part of that last sentence is true or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What would have been cool is if Sweden had beat Slovakia and we had gotten a Sweden-Finland Bronze game and Canada-US Gold game. Or you know, the other way around. Really don't like the idea of seeing Slovakia in two more games this tournament. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GMRwings1983 8,804 Report post Posted February 26, 2010 Sunday, 3:15 PM ET. Why isn't it on primetime TV later on in the evening? That would be better for TV ratings. People have other things to do Sunday mornings than watch hockey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted February 26, 2010 Filppula getting some cred in swedish television. Honestly I think Fil is doing us proud despite Finland's performance. Just like Pavel in Russia's collapse, Fil keeps working and showing that unlike many others he knows what defense is. Also, Kane is a BEAST this game. Haven't been impressed with him earlier in the tournament but today he is sick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
