Nice to hear that. (And the last year's finland-sweden -match... oh f*ck! What a way to lose a game! But must support the homeland.)
And we still have #11 Saku Koivu. He has been my favorite ice hockey player for years. Team Finland isn't nothing without him these days. He's the heart of the team.

hmmm... maybe he's the heart with Saku, but he's only "scoremaker". I don't deny that Teemu doesn't do important goals and such things, but Saku organizes team's game and he's only possible captain when he's in team. He always plays for team finland, never only for himself.

Calgaryn kärsi kyl aika karvaan 2-3-jatkoaikatappion Tampa Baylle viime yönä...
Tampa Bay siirsi nyt vielä ratkaisunkin seitsemänteen otteluun ja Calgary on vaan voiton päässä mestaruudesta...

ewil - June 6, 2004 04:31 PM (GMT)
^I'll translate that to english later... :)

Calgary had a quite a harsh loss to Tamba Bay last night... 2-3...
Now Tamba Bay moved the final match to the seventh match (of the seventh match :P ) and Calgary is only one win away from the championship...

...and so is Tampa Bay. It will be the most exciting way to solve Stanley Cup Champion... in a seventh match.

I hope so too. In Calgary is Toni Lydman, Ville Nieminen and Miikka "Kipper" Kiprusoff. There's no finnish players in Tampa Bay.

Juzzi - June 7, 2004 12:39 AM (GMT)
exactly

It would be very very nice if we could get more Finnish Stanley Cup
-winners.
