We are the champions

Finland has just won the ice hockey world championship in an exciting match against Canada. First home tournament victory and first player (Valtteri Filppula) who has entered the triple gold club (World, Stanley Cup and Olympic). Hurray!

Torilla tavataan! (See you at the marketplace) :D

Finland beat Canada?  Were the Russian's banned?  I assume the American squad's rich/good players were on vacation.

J/K that's cool for people that care about the sport.  I can watch Hockey and I usually check the Nashville Predators scores/overall record roughly on hand.  I'm just punching them into Google on my phone to check results I'm not actually watching it.

I have a friend who is mainly an anime and video game nerd.  However he likes watching hockey.  I've wanted to go to a Predators game though because I know how wild country downtown gets around Bridgestone arena.  It's double even triple decker bars and tall hotels everywhere.  Parking garages to smoke weed in, redneck paradise.

The NHL is still going so some of the best players must not even be able to play. 

Cool for a country like that to win though, huge population difference.

Yeah they beat us 4-3 in the semis.

Like you said though the population difference is drastic.  I googled them at only 5.5 million.  Off the top of my head we have to be closing in on about tree fiddy million.

We got swept in the first round.  Went 45-30-7 only good enough for 5th in our division.  I forgot the season was still going that felt longer than 3 weeks ago.  Once we're out I don't pay any attention to it.  Just trying to figure out who all Jon Robinson drafted.  Titans grabbed 17 undrafted players to scout.

Ice hockey is BIG here. We don't have an abundance of huge stars, but rely on teamwork to succeed, which is fitting.

Did idyb suicide himself like Freddie?

Equally as sensitive. 

Maybe he finally realized he was spending a vast majority of his life spamming posts to a forum with 12 people, none of which read any of the crap he posted?
