[Bill McNeal]

I say the Czechs come out hard, but the Finns survive the storm and win 1-0.

 

[Jussi]

I wouldn't be too surprised if Lehtinen sat out this one (and all other exhibition games) because of his bad back.

 

[nazzy]

I'm thinking this game will be a close one and will result in a 2-2 tie.

 

[Douggy]

It'll end up a 3-3 tie.

 

[Raimo Sillanpää]

Ok, I'll wager on Finland winning but having serious problems with it's line (i dont like Summanen's training lines at all!)

Say 3-1 or 2-1

 

[occa]

Is it going to be on TV? Nelonen won't broadcast it but maybe some other finnish channel will?

Where the Heck is Sami Lepisto!

 

[Raimo Sillanpää]

0-1 Lehtinen (Selänne) *edit: 44th minute, according to yle text tv page 236*

Woo! Hyvä suomi! Lehtonen for shutout!

 

[Make]

Woohoo!! Suomi! Suomi! Suomi!

 

[Raimo Sillanpää]

55 minutes, Finland still leads 1-0

 

[Epsilon]

If Lehtonen is the starter throughout, then I am definitely cheering for Finland to win this tournament.

 

[Make]

Zidlicky 1-1

 

[jstreet]

Zids comes through!!

 

[colonel_korn]

I was just looking at a boxscore, unfortunately it was in Czech so I couldn't really read it...did Jarkko Ruutu get a 10 minute misconduct for something?

 

[Make]

Where can I find a boxscore?

edit: thanks

 

[colonel_korn]

Where can I find a boxscore?

Here's the Czech one I was looking at...it's an article but I think the boxscore is at the bottom.

What is osobní trest?

I can't find a decent translation of it. Whatever it is Ruutu got 10 of it. (Misconduct?)
