Epic!
That's what it will be tomorrow. There is so much on the stakes tomorrow, I wouldn't wan't to be in either team. Or even near participating to their duty. Think of it, both countries best on ice. Sweden has their "golden generation", only Näslund missing... Finland has done the same as they could in World Cup...
And the history. Them bitter and heartaching losses to Sweden, the last minute ties. All of that! Finns have their share, Nagano and 1995 Stockholm World Championship final.
There is nothing, what could come even close to them Finland vs Sweden hockeygames. None. There simply isn't any sport or way of competition excisting, what would get even near this.
Sadly, this is absolute drama. Neither nation, would remember the silver medal, simply because it had to be the other who got the gold. And, the players... It's just brutal, you can not hang that gold on some of these players: Lidström, Numminen, Sundin, Koivu, Alfredsson (has he won it?), Selänne... the list could just go on and on. All of those names, are the prime from both countries, and they've done excellent job for so many years. All them little kids playing on the outbacks, on the all-natural ice... they're all little Selännes, little Sundins, and so on. A lot of the players who got their equal share for the last Big Win, will be seen for the last time.
So after this game, it'll be a standing ovation from my part, win or lose. We are both, Finland and Sweden, winning and losing so much in so many ways, no matter the match outcome. So this game, is absolutely (funny to start and end a message to the same phrase):
Epic!
