More like top-50.
On a good day.
Do you have the last World Cup final game too?100mph slapshot said:Nagano 98.
I still have that match on VHS, do you?
Wow, you have a good memory. All I can remember about that game was that at no moment did I worry about Canada. Selanne as always was on fire for Finland but in general, I never felt threaten.Raimo Sillanpää said:close?
Let's get serious. Canada held an impregnable 1-0 lead, then 2-0 and we qucikly pulled it back to 2-1. Then they got serious again.
We had control of the puck, but we never got out of the corners. We didn't have a single decent scoring chance.
And we lost like 99/100 faceoffs in the third period to Sakic. Every faceoff Canada won, took us a minute to gain control of the puck, then we went into the corners.. then there was a stoppage. Repeat.
That wasn't close. It was like trying to score against Italy once they lead 1-0 in a soccer game and there's 20 minutes left. Catenaccio you to death. Take the Brazil-Italy final of 1994. Brazil has "imaginary" control, they attack and get stopped by the best defensive line ever to grace a grass patch. Repeat ad nauseum.
Canada 2-1 Finland 2002, was not close. It looked close, but it was not. Had we had a few real chances, it could be described as close. But we didn't and it wasn't.

Caz said:That's fair enough. I also want to see Foppa play against any
team before I can say my opinion whether he's good or not.

Caz said:Chill out, it was a joke
Selanne has scored 4 goals in two games.
Blueberry-teams or not, but four goals
of 9 shots is pretty much on fire.
Plus I want to see Foppa in these games.
It should be the best of the best.
Actuallly I find Starshollow's posts pretty funny.TK79 said:Don't pay any attention to this guy. I think his past posts show that he's extremely biased against Finnish players. This is the same guy who claimed Kronwall is better than Pitkänen I think Selänne's play for the Ducks this season and in this tournament speaks for itself.
