GDT: Group E • May 9 • Russia 2, Finland 3 (SO)

[Charlie Milles*]

English and Swedish, and usually French or German (or something else) is also available if you want to

Is English mandatory though?

Looking good for a 3-2 win for Finland. The longer the score stays even the better our chances become.

Once again Aaltonen chose to skate instead of shooting. Unbelievable attitude. It's almost like he doesn't want to score.

 

[Charlie Milles*]

Such a strong start for Russia; nothing since.

 

[BusQuets]

hmm swiss-usa 4-2 CAN YOU DO IT FINLAND?

Is English mandatory though?

Yes.

Both English and Swedish are. You'd be surprised how well the young people (u25) speak English.

 

[JabbaJabba]

Is English mandatory though?

Yes, so is Swedish (unfortunately).

EDIT: Damn it, too slow.

Two foreign languages are mandatory. Usually you start with English on 3rd grade, Swedish on 7th grade and Germany/French/Russian/other on 8th grade. Some also choose to have fourth language, but I think 3 foreign languages is the most common choise.

He could have just zipped the puck "easily" to the roof of the net in that situation, but he skates behind the goal? I mean, it aint that hard to lift puck with backhand. Actually even i could do it. The bad thing is, i would never get that kind of change even in 3rd division game made for myself

 

[Diagonaali]

You have English classes? I'm flattered.

It is called education. I can imagine that concept would not be easy for you to understand.

 

[Latex*]

Yes, so is Swedish (unfortunately).

EDIT: Damn it, too slow.

Speaking good Swedish is more useful than speaking English well in this country.

 

[SPMaximus]

Without Swedish lessons how would you understand Kaj Kunnas and Toni Söderholm?

This. I'm so happy that i learnt how to change my YLE language to Swedish!

 

[Stanleyjub]

Really refs -.-

 

[Finnpin]

These refs are a ****ing JOKE!!

 

[Charlie Milles*]

Good call.

 

[TeppoWinnipeg]

Every time Salmela holds the puck for longer than 2 seconds he thinks hes Bobby Orr

 

[QnebO]

Good handling for artuhykin on the crease.

 

[Finnpin]

Every time Salmela holds the puck for longer than 2 seconds he thinks hes Bobby Orr

I don't see What Jalonen sees in him.

 

[Diagonaali]

Would be a dandy to see a shoot-out ending with these guys on the ice. It has been quite an entertaining game, as always with Russia.

 

[Diagonaali]

Wooo Lassila!

 

[Latex*]

Lassila!

 

[TeppoWinnipeg]

Wtf was lepistö doing?

 

[Blank]
