[Leizi]

Finland wins. Immonen + Koivu score in SO!

 

[SnackTime]

Lassila was greeeeeattt

 

[urho]

Blah. I wanted to see Granlund's take.

 

[Diagonaali]

Damn, those Finns have some skill in shootouts

 

[Finnpin]

Great Game!

Lassila starter in the next game?

 

[Latex*]

Lassila was awesome in this game!

 

[QnebO]

This team has SISU. Is this third or fourth time that we come back from losing and win the game?

 

[Charlie Milles*]

BTW I'm watching a Swedish stream and can understand easily enough...education is handy sometimes

I speak English, German, French and Gaelic. I don't know why you Finns think otherwise; must be the cold.

 

[SPMaximus]

Nice to see Lassila come back and play a great game, 4 out of 4 shootout saves so far.

 

[MMANumminen]

F Granlund's take. It's been a while that we beat the Russians! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


Now who the hell is going to start at goal next game?

 

[MaNNe]

I was really surprised by how great Lassila played, especially after the awful Germany game. I was also surprised by how bad team Russia played they didn't really play as a team at all. Maybe they are just waiting for team Canada ?

 

[Bieksallent]

The Finns made that look so easy. Maybe Russia gets their stuff together when games really mean something but right now I don't have much faith.

 

[Tissotti]

Scoring is helluva hard, but on shootouts it looks the easiest thing ever.
Don't understand and neither will i care.

Great result after the horrible start.

It's quite warm in here actually

 

[Ziostilon]

didn't everybody want Vehanen to play the whole game

Oh, I didn't know, kudos for that. Just saw some earlier posts in this thread about languages.

WIN! This is one tough team, climbing and clawing their way to a win time and again

 

[BusQuets]

Finland is the best country in the shootouts nowdays

 

[joey16]

Blah. I wanted to see Granlund's take.

Yeah, I also wanted to see him...

Anyway good that you won this game, hope for the best for you
Awesome game by Lassila...

 

[Juzmo]

Damn, those Finns have some skill in shootouts

We just know how to score.

 

[Jussi]

It's quite warm in here actually

Yeah, 20 C.

 

[QnebO]

We just know how to score.

Some one should tell them when they think about scoring problem on normal time. When they understand that they score all the time in SO, they understand that they just haveto be patient in the situation and put the puck up high in the net.

Good comeback, fourh (?) comeback of this tournament!

 

[Jussi]

Where the Russian posters at? ******* fairweather fans, at least us Finns are posting whether we suck or play well.

And pouskin74, Russia did suck.

 

[happysquirrel]

Haha, 3-2 like I predicted after 1st period. I don't understand what Russia was doing. Looked like they wanted to lose?

Not the best game for either team, but nonetheless a nice win.

 

[Erathian]

Congrats Finland

Now you will probably play against Norway

I can order beer and say hello in 13 different languages.
