[Poikilitic]

Good morning to you as well

I moved from the Motherland, and now im in Toronto, its not that bad. But i cry everyday.


Btw, is Reichel still "C"

 

[SChan*]

so it begins.

 

[SergeiK]

According to Jatkoaika this is estimated line-up for Finland:

Jere Lehtinen - Saku Koivu - Teemu Selänne
Ville Peltonen - Olli Jokinen - Tuomo Ruutu
Niklas Hagman - Niko Kapanen - Jukka Hentunen
Mikko Eloranta - Mikko Koivu - Jarkko Ruutu

Kimmo Timonen - Teppo Numminen
Janne Niinimaa - Sami Salo
Aki-Petteri Berg - Toni Lydman

Miikka Kiprusoff (Kari Lehtonen)

This will mean that Riku Hahl, Ville Nieminen, Antti Laaksonen, Ossi Väänänen ja Joni Pitkänen are healthy-scratches.

Mikko Koivu played well against Germany, but there are still many people who question his right to be in this tournament and in line-up. I`m one those people.

 

[HellsBells]

No Nieminen !! Crap.

At least I'll be able to cheer for Lydman & Kipper.

2-1 Finland.

 

[Padawan]

Looks good but the fourth line should be imo
Ville Nieminen - Riku Hahl - Jarkko Ruutu

I'd dress Ossi Väänänen over Aki Berg any day.

I cant understand why Berg and Niinimaa are playing.Niinimaa was horrible against germany.Ossi and Joni in.

 

[HellsBells]

Agreed on Berg, he's horribly slow. I'd start Vaananen or Pitkanen over him.

I'd also throw Nieminen in there for Hentunen or Eloranta.

 

[High flyin' Habs*]

No Nieminen !! Crap.

At least I'll be able to cheer for Lydman & Kipper.

2-1 Finland.

I'm going with 3 - 2 Czech Republic. I was hoping Lehtonen would get a start here today.

 

[High flyin' Habs*]
