[Jyssy]

Somehow i smell a victory for US... Still Go SUOMI GO!!

 

[Snap Wilson]

U.S.A.!!! U.S.A.!!!

Cheering for an upset here, but if Finland wins, I'll be rooting them on the rest of the way. Which means they're doomed. Sorry, Finns.

 

[Ross MacLochness]

Watch channel is this game on in Canada. TSN has Sweden-Swiss scheduled at 11:00.

It's hard to root against Niittymaki, but I really want to see USA advance!

Online Radio Access Please Help

Maybe this site will show the game.

I live in Italy, and have tried this site apparently within the Netherlands and states I am unable to view it as I am out of their territory?!

Someone said TSN yesterday, but I could not find location for radio link..I searched everywhere...


if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated....Italians are so freakin insecure..if they are not in it, they don't play it...among other things.

I hope I will be wrong, but just in case...

please post it if you know..I am on dial up.

Many thanks!!!

Let's go America!

I'm not confident, but I'll hope.

BTW, how did we Anglicize Suomi into "Finland"...they're not even close to each other..

Seems like a fair numer of posters on the Finnish board (Jatkoaika) think that the only way the US can win this one is if the Canadian referee hands the game to them. While I don't agree with this assessment at all, I do think the US obviously faces an uphill battle. At this stage of the tournament I don't think Finland will be beaten at it's own game very easily, but if Laviolette has managed to come up with an appropriate and efficient gameplan (one that shuts down the Koivu line), I can see the US pulling an upset. You never know.

Only a few more minutes before the puck hits the ice. Fasten your seat belts, boys and girls!

The name Finland is by far older for the nation, dating back to the latin name "Finlandia", meaning "Country of those who move around", which was referring to the Fenni people (who were made up mostly by tavastians).

The name Suomi, or even the thought of having the different regions and different finnish tribes, or peoples together under an own name is "new", as it was formed as earliest in the 1830's and the name Suomi first occuring as a name for all the regions in the 1870's, and established as a finnish official name for the region some 10 years earlier, and further established with the independence in 1917.

Now tell us why you swedes are named after a vegetable.

Okay, thanks...

Learning all this history during the olympics is fun

 

[ColoradoHockeyFan]

Could Chelios look any worse to start this game?

 

[acr*]

Powerplay for the US.

Ruutu to the box.

 

[joe_shannon_1983*]

Americans getting a PP.

 

[jaydub*]

Ruutu is a worthless human being. Can't wait till someone takes a run at him in the NHL and gives him what he deserves.

 

[RSBPC]

Punk move...good call.

 

[chiavsfan]

I think I have mentioned this before...but I hate Chris Chelios, and I am from his freaking hometown. However, I like him during the Olympics since he represents the team I want to win

 

[ColoradoHockeyFan]

I hate Ruutu. Was their plan to just have him run DiPietro on his first shift?

 

[Mr Brownstone]

Boy is someone going to run Ruutu once the NHL gets back.

 

[DevilFisch]

Time to start converting on the power play, Team USA! Take advantage of this...man...advantage.

Note: Do the Islanders play Vancouver (or whichever team Jarkko's on) when the NHL returns?
