GDT: Switzerland - Finland, 2-15-06, 15:35 CET

[Finnpin]

This one will be a close game...Finland will try to get the game together and Switzerland can have a surprise, because almost the whole team has been practising together for two weeks. Finland has maybe two ice practises before the game.

Finland lines for the game:

Niittymäki

Selänne - S. Koivu - Lehtinen
J.Jokinen - O.Jokinen - Peltonen
Laaksonen - Kapanen - Hentunen
Ruutu - M.Koivu - Nieminen
13.th man Hagman

Timonen - Numminen
Salo - Nummelin
Berg - Lydman
7th man Niemi

Bring it on!

Finland possesses more quality so let's hope that that will be the decider.

 

[edd1e]

tough first game, but Finns should get on top.

 

[devilman]

Sweet Swiss Chocolate and cheesy Swiss Fondue will slacken the Finn Lion.

Go Switzerland GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You should try Finnish chocolate and a brand called Fazer...way much better

Where is the line up for Swiss team? I think that the official Olympics page info sucks big time, or is at least very very slow with the info.

Ruutu: MVP of the game!

 

[stv11]

Here's the line up :

Patrick Fischer - Martin Plüss - Patrick Della Rossa
Adrian Wichser - Sandy Jeannin - Romano Lemm
Ivo Rüthemann - Thomas Ziegler - Thierry Paterlini
Paul Di Pietro - Flavien Conne - Marcel Jenni

Olivier Keller - Mark Streit
Severin Blindenbacher - Goran Bezina
Mattias Seger - Beat Forster
Julien Vauclair - Steve Hirschi

Martin Gerber

 

[devilman]

The definitive line-up won't be announced until the puck drops, because they want to deceide before the game who's playing in net.

No, Gerber or Aebischer will be the hero of this matchup!!!!

Thank God I got SVT because crappy YLE will not broadcast the game live.

3-1 Finland

According to Seiska and YLE txt-tv it will be broadcasted live, first from YLE 1 and after the first period ends, from YLE 2.

The schedule is a mess though, just looked how the games will be shown, some are on the Urheilukanava, some on YLE 1 or YLE 2, some on YLE's digichannels and some on SVT. Anyway, back to the Canada-Italy game

 

[TK79]

The nordic combined team event has been cancelled, so Yle will broadcast the game live on the main channel

Bring on the Swiss! Finland 5-2. Selanne 2, Lehtinen, Jokinen and AJ Niemi with the goals

 

[Salming]

Go Epoland. Show those alp monkies how hockey should be played.

 

[MissCanuck]

This game's on TSN. Ohhhh yeah.

 

[Raimo Sillanpää]

Go Epoland. Show those alp monkies how hockey should be played.

Not a single Finn has tested positive for Epo.
