Just because we're the modest world champions, and to sooth the burn of our dear Canadian readers, this is par for the course to explain to furriners what happened:



(Recipe: add maple syrup and it's as Canadian as Triumph! Or not. Rush is more Canadian. They're thinner and they wear less latex pants.)

(We still hate your experimental Bryan Adams release upon humanity. You should carry some responsibility and not redo it with these Justin Beibers and whatnot. Stop polluting, Canada!)

Good song. Yes, Rush much better than Triumph. And please don't blame us for Beiber - we banished him to the US, and refuse to take him back, or even acknowledge him.

I'll offer you one from Anvil, an early metal band from Toronto (formed in '78). And of course, about hockey.

Congrats Finland! Some outstanding goaltending especially in the 3rd. Murray needed to be better especially on that 3rd goal.

Finland's 3rd goal vs Canada in IIHF worlds gold medal game was classic example on that what ''cold'' goalie means in hockey.

Canada dominated the game Lankinen got very much shots and basic saves which kept him hot.
Also Finland's defence blocked plenty of shots.

Meanwhile Murray just stand front of net and watched how Canada dominated.
But then Pesonen got the puck and attacked to Canada's zone and shoot the puck straight on Murray who couldn't catch that shot so puck went in. Those goals happen in hockey even to NHL goalies.

Murray was cold goalie most of the game meanwhile Lankinen was hot goalie.
Finland's 3rd goal was goal-scorers goal not a lucky shot which went in.
Murray wasn't guilty Canada's Silver medal.

Canada and Finland were best teams in the tournament.
So both deserved to play IIHF worlds gold medal game.
This time Finland won but still the game itself was exciting.

The calm I feel when Lehtonen is on the ice. Almost as calm as when we had Mikko Koivu.

I was really impressed by his performances every game. He also contributed offensively very well. Moved his feet and was fast too, also great zone entrys.
