Going to be one hell of a game! Hoping for:

*Fair game with no cheapshots
*Refs keeping low profile, no bad calls please
*No horrenduous personal mistakes that decide the game - and this goes for both teams (could be brutal for teenagers' mental health)
*No politics s**t dragged in - it's just a game

Really strange that this year it is Finland who has elite offensive talent and Russia has a gritty team with 4 lines. Hats off to the Russian coach no matter what the outcome, he's made his team play like a team which is something that Russia is usually not capable of. No NHL/KHL superstar millionaires in the team naturally helps.

Anyway, I already bet my money on Russia so whatever happens I've cushioned the blow. :D

Good luck and congrats to both teams. Don't really care who wins, just looking for an exciting game.

Do we know if Samsonov is injured or if Bragin changed goalies just because he's a crazy dude?

I can echo these sentiments.

Go Russia Go

Probably the first (and hopefully only) time I ever say that but with the help from the refs that the Finns have got throughout this tournament I cannot cheer for them. At least Russia got here by skill and talent.

Fair, good thrilling game with lot of goals, please. It's now the time for demonstration of spirit, and european team play for both teams.

Hopefully referees don't play the game ahead the hockey, either. It's FIN-RUS final now! :yo:

They were interviewing him on North American TV and asked him what it would be like if Finland won the gold.

He said "we are black belts in partying"


He also said that Finns would be on a hangover tommorow if they win. Was pretty funny, love me some finnish frankness :p

Let's go Russia.

I've got to say though, if Russia wins, they will earn the Bragin rights :naughty:
