Yeah... you are just secretly laying the ground for a northamerican finale...

Now if there had been a Finnish judge givig some extra penalties to your team...

The Finns got away with a lot of **** in that game. The "boarding" penalty was completely undeserved, and Selanne's dirty-as-all-hell hit on Pronger 30 seconds later went uncalled, despite Pronger bleeding like a stuck pig when he got back to the bench.

To me it seemed like same kind of checking (Selanne and that 'boarding' one). Only difference is pronger smashed his face. But other than Selanne's hit, what did finns get away with?
What about Foote and his 'playing'? I think he got away with lots of stuff too. It's always like this. First you complain that european players can't play tough, and when it hits you, you all go crying about it. As the saying goes, you get what you order.

But i'm not saying Selanne's hit was clean, it was a bit dirty.
And other than Foote, Canadians played clean. Especially Blake who can check! I'm looking forward to see him knocking out few americans or russians in the finals .

Foote was just tapping the guy in order to piss him off. The Finn retaliated with a slash, and the ref was smart enough not to call anything on the play.

The difference was that Selanne used his hand to drive Pronger's face into the glass, whereas the Canadian (can't remember who) pulled a perfectly clean hip-check. The Finn only fell like that cuz he turned his back to the play at the last second.

Overall, though, I don't think the Finns played an especially dirty game. It was just funny to hear you commenting that the refs were prejudiced against them.

Anyone like my new signature?

I didn't say refs were prejudiced. Anyway i didn't mean it to sound like it. So Pronger turned his back, as did Ruutu before. We can always argue about how high everyones hands are, they're pretty high anyway. So tough playing is checking hard, letting hands go high, even let the stick hit sometimes, jump, check on someones back, but don't ever ever put your hand on someones head?

Buuut as i said before i think Selanne should of have a penalty for that, that's not my point. If it was the other way round, this wouldn't even be an issue. It would be 'europeans are sissys, they can't play hard, this is hockey!'. Well maybe not you, but generally anyway.
But i don't want to argue about one check because we agree that it was worth of penalty. And i think that the other one was too, though it was kind of .. bad luck for canadians because ruutu turned and i think it wasn't meant to be like that.

Looks the finish rep for being alco's is well deserved. Beer before school, what is the world coming to?

But, tomorrow I'm going to let tequila take my sorrows away!

For me Tequila usually ends in more sorrow, or maybe more accurately severe episodes of cringeing the next morning, when I start to remember what I got up to the night before.

Well, thanks, I try. But first I have to sit in a bus for five long hours!

And who needs memories anyway?

But that is the funniest part of the process! There's a little masochist inside of me that just loves hangovers. The harder the better. The best hangover is when you wake up in a same place with all the others who were drinking last night and start rewinding the last night's episodes... and the morning conversations are always the most obscene, pervert and funny.
