Hi all hockey fans!

Any thoughts who is going to win this year?

Currently game NOR - CAN is 2 - 3

Hmm, I hope we'll do (RU). But I'm afraid the Czechs will instead.

I just wanted to write that we have a good chance to win when I saw the result of the match with Sweden

**temeteus82** · May 14, 2011, 12:25 PM

heh... Well it seems that our team now is playing on full throttle and we had some nice goals like this

We hope that we will kick some Swedish but in the finals

Oh crap! Wrong both. Congratz, teme. Good luck Suomi. The goal is awesome.

You should have heard what the commentator in the TV had to say when the goal was made

here's a rough translation:

Quote:

Did you see what goal guy strikes! Did you see what goal guy strikes!

Take a stick blade to its puck, and that Russian players see the field that the Lord Oh my gosh what happened there. Granlund having the puck, having puck on the blade of the racket and makes World Cup history, one of the finest goals. Nothing else to say.

- No one else can claim other than that, it is a one of kind goal!

I saw this game and it was just what was needed to push momentum for the better team. Russia has lots of offensive skill but never came close to the team play of the fins. These trick goals often fail because the forward takes too much time setting it up, but here Granlund did it on the fly and the goalie didn't have time to react. You can bet he learned something that day.

Hope to be able to view the final tomorrow. It'll be a tough game, possibly with very few goals scored.
