Hey, thanks! I saw all the quarterfinal-games and I guess the main reason why Russia lost was that they didn't play as a team. It was Kovalchuk and Radulov + the others. USA was a team and they had an awesome goalie. Your two goalies were bad, really bad.

Dont mention it. Many finns play in Continental League so they are known in Russia... Yes, yesterday^s game was very strange- professionals are professionals so they can play at their best if needed..And the score looks unreal ...
I am always sceptic about the "fair" sport at top level so I do not take any result, positive or negative close to the heart. To keep ratings high there must be intrigue, so no team can get 4 world golds for 5 years , more over next year the Winter Olimpiad in Sochi, Russia will take place.
What I like in this championship togetherwith the hOKey- by all means is music in pauses- Ride the lightining , and other metal tunes. Great !
Its like "Wacken open air" on ice !

In my mind the top teams are so close to each other...so that it is almost a lottery who wins and who loses. And ofcourse goalkeepers are in a very important role. If the Finnish goalkeeper would play the way he did against Tappara in the finals, Finland wins the gold medal. In the Finnish ice-hockey league he saved everything that was possible in the finals. If he plays just like a normal goalie, Finland loses.

Go Switzerland go. It can't be twice in a row that the referees are partial! Switzerland hasn't lost a game, Sweden has lost two! Switzerland has played the best ice-hockey on this tournament!
So I do hope the order is: 1) Switzerland 2) Sweden and unfortunately USA wins Finland who can't make a goal with 30 opportunities...against lousy Sweden.

On the next season Tappara will have a goalkeeper from Hungary: Zoltan Hetenyi. So there will be Hungarian colour in Tampere's Tappara.

I don't know anything about this goalie, but I think he is the best goalie of Hungary.

It is called swimming, John! Finland got a bronze medal after many years. Hockey-season starts soon in Finland. Today is the first practice match of Tappara.
