In a way that made me a bit sad.
But hopefully it will atleast give some positive energy to the team.

Somehow i have the feeling that Finland is just going to make Endras look like a superstar...

We were dominant at the end, and we controled the game totally 5 on 5. Pavs played great and we should have scored at least 5. Unfornatly horrible refring which lead to a couple of lucky bounchy czech pp goals.
I still liked the effort and we will be good.

He already has one.. getting 2 in a row would be rubbing it in too much in the Finns faces hehehe. Gotta give them some hope so they dont cry all day.
Yeah how many shots did they do while hanging on the puck and making few nifty passes? And this is why I'm mad of dropping Pulkkinen and Lehtonen, we need goal scorers! I'd rather already get Joensuu in and see if he can bring some change with big body of his.
Anyways good game. Pavelec is the word of the day!

It's possible. This is indeed hockey. Czechs won last year in same kind of way so of course they can win. But only problem is the Czechs will stand in their way and win gold 2 years in a row and make it 7 golds in 16 years. More than any country already in last 15 years. 2 more than Canada even... Perhaps the Czechs are gods?
Was an excellent game.. questionable penalties on both sides. Though Finland had plenty of pentaly minutes on their own PP and could not score... They outplayed 5 v 5 and still could not score??? That doesn't seem like outplaying to me.. Again Czechs play a certain style.. They aren't very flashy, they are patient... Maybe Finland should learn to lift the puck like Jagr... I got 2 out of my 3 predictions on goals today.. I guess i gave Finland too much respect to score 2?

Yes, Finland had no chance in this game. We shoud cry.
Good game by Finland considering the difference between the teams on paper. Sure both teams could have scored few more goals from the opportunities and it would have been nice to see more 5on5 hockey but imo Czechs deserved the win and unless something unexpected happens i believe they are playing in the finals.

what about best on best tournaments what really counts, havent really seen them in 2000 century?
No **** Sherlock! That's what everyone's been saying for years/decades but it's not very easy to find a Finn who can lift the puck...
Id like to see joensuu instead of pyorala...
BTW did anyone notice that jagr didnt really play after the Ruutu hit, only on the pp.
Hurt? or afraid
Well, we all remember the cheap dirty hit in the Olympics, don't we?
Ruutu is a dirty player.

Well im going from the top of my head here... But lets see... Czech/ Czechoslovakia 3rd all time in history behind Canada and then Russian / Soviet...
Sweden is a very close 4th....
As far as Olympics... "Best of Best" .... Since 1998 when NHL allowed its players to compete Czech Republic is tied w/ Russia and now Canada (since they won gold in 2010 Olympics) to be the only 3 countries since 1998 + NHL to have 2 medals in the Olympics....

It was jarkko... pelle
Ruutu hits were and the finnish hits were completly clean but hard.
Plekanec is dirty since he came after the whistle on the back checking, he should either fight and get his ass kicked or deliver clean hits.
And the olympic hit would have been clean but Jagr 2 seconds before put his head down so it was his own fault. head up.
BUT JAGR WAS AFRAID OF COMING TO THE ICE AFTER THE HIT.

I'm pretty sure Lehtonen was injured.
I do agree that Pulkkinen should have been chosen.
These games have just proved that Lahti was Pulkkinen's creation and is pretty much useless without him

Ah ya your right.. I did say off the top of my head ..
. Have to put USA in that Category now too.. Forgot to really count Finland and USA from 2010 Jarrko is the one who made that hit. Differn't Ruutu.. I remember it well.. I am still waiting to fight him but he wont come out to play w/ me...
Funny, Jagr said it was a cheap shot from this Ruutu aswell.
Haven't seen it though..
Good game by Finland. They really surprised me, we were lucky we had Pavelec. But way to go SUOMI
