This kinda thing should change your mind.
Is Yemelin the same guy as Emelin, the Habs defenceman?
EDIT: just checked out he is. Never would have thought he'd dive like that.

Yea it's gonna take a lot more. Russians still have a lot of skill that I like.
Finns don't cheer for Sweden in any sport (or in general) ever, no matter what. No problem cheering for Russia, though.
WTF? We surely cheer for Sweden in football World- and Eurochamps.
I cheer against Sweden in football probably even more than in hockey. Has something to do with jealousy and bitterness I guess. There is no way I want our beloved neighbours to the West enjoy success in the biggest sport in the world while we haven't even been able to qualify to the almighty WC or Euro Cup.
The Russians are basically the Vancouver Canucks of international hockey. Tremendous skill, but have a tarnished image due to constant unnecessary diving, and an inability to get the job done when the stakes are at their highest (haven't won a best-on-best hockey tournament since 1981).
Ok, fair enough! I usually support our Nordic neighbours since we never qualify*.
Just watch Formula 1, Rally, snowboarding and other things that we are good in... Homerism is the best thing! Besides, F1 is lot bigger than hockey anyway!
Gotta know a Leafs fan has to get a shot in eh? Can't really compare the Leafs to any of the WC teams because they all deserve to be there.
It's pretty sad if you find happines in others failures.
Put burrows on the PK already, hes easily the best PK guy on the team.
The Finnish view has not much to do if it was the national team or a club team, regular season or playoffs, but if the guy was drunk enough or not. After a number of beers (10 or 20 or whatever, depending on your tolerance) you are allowwed to cry for any reason. If you're sober, you don't cry. For any reason.
Sutter had Burrows on the PK late in the game.

Norway and Denmark on the other hand, I wish them well and find myself cheering for them. But Sweden? No way...
That's what i was trying to say. Some guy will cry after CAN-FIN group game and the other guy will cry after SCF game 7.
