EPO-card. Thats unsportsmanlike
Again it looks like we are underdogs for this game as all these people cannot be wrong, and its really good for our team!
How is the betting in norway for this game, i bet Finland has huge multiplier? Maybe i should bet at some norway's betcompany for the upset!
2) Surely man proposes, God disposes, but divine intervention aside, it’s less than unlikely that such a lackluster hard-working star-less Finnish team (granted u have handled the norgs first, of course) can beat this flamboyant, star-studded Russian squad, coming off a victory over Canada, and therefore all fired up, clicking and brimming with confidence, TWICE IN A ROW during the same event.
hard work+grit > flamboyancy+arrogance
any day. And unless this setting changes as the tournament progresses, this flamboyant, star-studded squad will go back home pretty soon
And about you saying finns WILL NOT win a medal, I realisticly and setting my personal feelings and convictions aside feel that Finlands most likely ends its tournament winning bronze. Statisticly, Fin > Nor by a fairly wide margin. Also, statisticly, Finland has always been able to play very well in bronze games, even against big teams. And that's because they have been better at getting back up from a hurting semifinal loss, than other teams. Don't know why, and not sure if that's such a good thing, but anyway. Thats my honest prediction. My homer prediction is that Finland wins gold but thats still far away.
i bet Koivu will be on the winning team. I bet a hundred million kroner!
Where is Kaunismäki? Didn't he use to play with the same jersey #5?How much is that in Eurodollars?
("eurodollar" from some of our friends dressed in stars and stripes boxers here on the HFboard last year...)
BTW, a friend of mine, who also used to live in Belgium, played many years together with your Koivu in our Mestis (Finnish 2nd highest league)
i bet Koivu will be on the winning team. I bet a hundred million kroner!
Btw, how good is your Koivu? I mean how good player in your teams hierarchy? And is he related to Mikko?
That's because us Canadians are too busy watching the playoffs hehe
That's not really surprising. They are up against the Czech Republic who has won all their games in regulation and this is right after the US had that poor outing against the Swiss. Would be more surprised if expectations were really high for them.

thx, i also saw reported somewhere else that it was a hand injury, so i guess that's clarified as well.
Eerikki is not related to Mikko.
, I hope.
... But they won't know the difference 'cos so many of their players already play in KHL 
.
I want to see Russia do this without Malkin and Datsyuk. I'm sort of glad he is not coming.
Apparently Mr. Putin himself will attend this game. It will be a good motiviational booster for the team for sure. They just won't allow themselves to play like crap infront of the "President"
