[Tissotti]

Armia: "Ei maalia, mua vituttaa."

Aittokallio: "mähän lupasin pelata nollat"

 

[QnebO]

Armia: "Ei maalia, mua vituttaa."

Hahaha Noticed the same.

MIght as well translate this important line..

Armia after game: "No goal tonight, im ****ing pissed of"

 

[Finnish Flash 76]

Good game. Aittokallio is magnificent.

 

[IceHockeyDude]

Armia: "Ei maalia, mua vituttaa."

Did Armia say that or Aittokallio?

 

[FiLe]

Looks like they won't pick the same BP twice.

 

[hirawl]

Micke being the C there with his comments to Aitto. Great to see and hear.

 

[Pajicz]

did aittokallio do the tim tebow celebrating or am i seeing things

Yeah, with Hakanpää.

 

[Eidyia]

Good and a bit lucky game for Finland. If Aittokallio haven't been that good in the 2nd period it'd been a different game.

I hope the Czech's beat whoever they face next.

 

[Raimo Sillanpää]

quite a turnaround for a team thumped 8-1. We can basically scratch that off as a nightmare and see that the pre-tournament perception that this team really could challenge anyone as being back on.

If we get to the final, I'm kinda of hoping for Canada. They's be really motivated to prove it was a fluke and I'd wager Canada would have a very small likelyhood of actually winning.
Not being a homer, just how the teams would match up psychologically. Canada over easy, Finland super fired up..

 

[Systemfel]

Hahaha Noticed the same.

MIght as well translate this important line..

Armia after game: "No goal tonight, im ****ing pissed of"

Google translate had it as "Don't paint me, I'm pissed"

 

[sajmae]

So we're playing at 1AM? Jeez. I hate waking up only to see our team losing.

 

[Jussi]

Seems to be mandatory for successful Finnish teams to lose the tournament opener and then win the rest.

 

[zorz]

I hope the Czech's beat whoever they face next.

thx for your kind words

 

[llwyd]

Well, the USA game was better, we were bit sloppy at times and could have upped the tempo a bit. Though 4-0 nevertheless which is not bad at all... I'm beginning to like this team!

 

[FinRuutu]

thx for your kind words

Rooting for Czechs from now on.

 

[FiLe]

Google translate had it as "Don't paint me, I'm pissed"

Yeah, "maali" = both "goal" and "paint" in Finnish.

So he was practically jesting that because he couldn't score, he's miffed.

 

[FiLe]

Well, the USA game was better, we were bit sloppy at times and could have upped the tempo a bit. Though 4-0 nevertheless which is not bad at all... I'm beginning to like this team!

Well, I'm not complaining... I've seen too many games where Finland holds the puck, shoots from everywhere but can't score to save their lives.

Nice to see the tables turned for change.

 

[llwyd]

Rooting for Czechs from now on.

Yeah, very positive playing style, though I didn't get the penalties, not very Czech like in that sense, undisciplined a bit. Not too many goal scorers it seems also. But absolutely supporting this team in their quarterfinal!

 

[Cypher]

did aittokallio do the tim tebow celebration or am i seeing things

He did lol

And its made even awesome-r given the fact he's a Colorado Avalanche prospect.

 

[dfk711*]

Yeah, with Hakanpää.

Anyone got a picture of this?

 

[hirawl]

Someone should put together a clip of Pulu hitting the pipes in this tourney. With sounds. I bet it plays a melody. Probably a full song.

 

[llwyd]

Well, I'm not complaining... I've seen too many games where Finland holds the puck, shoots from everywhere but can't score to save their lives.

Yeah, I thought that about the US game with their bad quality shots from all over the place except from the best places. Finland often wins the shots but loses the game, so this is really much better.

 

[FiLe]

Yeah, with Hakanpää.

Hakanpää and Aittokallio seem to have a thing going on. They were butting heads and yelling at each other after the game vs. USA as well.

This is obviously a team that has bonded really well.

 

[IceHockeyDude]

I dont understand what is the problem with Armia. He really looked so ''flegu'' tonight once again. He didnt have too much hurry while skating to the bench either.

Also why did he say: ''I didnt score, im pissed off'' after a 4-0 victory in an important game? Doesnt he realize that winning as a team is more important than getting a goal?

I really hope someone teaches some wisdom for him and humble also. Otherwise he will not be playing in the NHL ever.

 

[vsk92]

Hopefully aittokallio will start the next game
