We have arrived at this point. Selänne, Timonen, Salo, S.Koivu and probably OJ and others will never play for the national team again. For me it doesn't matter if they win tomorrow, it's the last time I see the guys I grew up with in Finland jersey. Especially Teemu, there might never be one like him in all the world, not just Finland.
I will always cheer and love the team just as much as always, but the single individuals no comparison. I'm a 20 year old guy and these guys and some of those that have already retired are those that we always ''were'' in pihapelit. It'll be such a sad moment for me and probably even to older people. They were the generation. Didn't get the ultimate goal this tournament or many others. But they are the greatest ones. And after tomorrow they are gone. And that fact is killing me. I think it'll hurt more than anything I have seen the Lions go through.
Life will go on, there will be new heroes for us but I can't shake this horrible feeling that tomorrow, no matter loss or win, something horrible will happen. It's the end of an era. The end of the era where greatest Finnish players ever played.
I didn't know anywhere else where to post this, although this forum is rarely visited. Guess I just needed write what I feel somewhere. **** the **** I said about I might cry tomorrow. I will cry.
