Hear, hear!gib said:......Anyway what is the most important I am expectin a great game where both teams give their heart and soul for it. Now I stop being a cry baby, because of the selections Summanen maid and just enjoy the game!
Go Finland! Go Sweden! May the better team win!
I don't understand what you mean. Hardy used to be called "HÃ¥rde" Hardy as a player. HÃ¥rde means hard in swedish. He supposedly gave 100% every minute no matter what the score was and demanded the same from his team mates. Someone else might know more and could elaborate?mattihp said:Well... If we get a late lead, we have to hope that Mats Sundin doesn't take care of the scared bunnyrabbit Hardy turns into.

It's great that the previous games worked out the way they did: a fairly neutral meeting in the exhibition, now a battle on the top with a notable reward too. It's also fitting that the reigning winner takes the prize in case of a tie.
No excuses, no mercy, defeat is not an option. Say a prayer on your goalie and cry havoc, let there be hockey!
This will be the first day when both games are really competitive, now that Russia has proved themselves as contenders, now that Germany is done and Slovakia isnt playing.gib said:5-6................to Finland!
What a great evening ahed. First Finland-Sweden then Canada-Russia This is hockey baybe!
Pepper said:Then play likes of Eloranta and Koivu instead of Ruutu and Nieminen who are absolutely required to give Sweden's superoffense something else to think about??
