The Fin/USA bloodlust continues tonight.
According to rumors, both countries Armies are on high alert just in case the nastiness on the ice tonight spills onto the streets of both countries.

The first bit of strangeness here.
Finland is the HOME team tonight.

About 3 mins into it and this game has been scrambly at best.
The fans don't seem into it either.
Not much noise.

Finland to the PP.

Finn pp ends cause of a Fin pen.
The crowd is dead tonight.

After 10 minutes into the game.

Finland has been more aggressive(hitting) than the US.

Nice looking Blonde sitting behind the US bench.
Less than two mins left and Fin gets a pp.

0-0 end 1st.

Same blonde you were ogling the other night?

I do believe it is the same Blonde.

sogs......Fin 4 US 3
This game needs a GOAL!

Can't always get want you want...........in a coke ad ?
Don't like it !

I watched the first period thru a blue-white glasses and I have to say that Finns were more physical than USA. That surprised me.

Tomppa

Fins have out hit the USA tonight.
They have been the better team so far.
2nd on , by the way.

The game will liven up now.
I have it on mute and I am listening to the radio.
AC/DC is blasting ..............if that doesn't liven up the game
Nothing can !

This game may go on all night long.
I truely doubt that either team is capable of scoring a GOAL!

I've been playing pinball and listening.

U.S. to the PP here, could be the game on the line.

Black Hawk jersey's rule.
Especially when worn by a gal.


Most here will not know what I mean .

Pinball ?
Do today's youngsters even know what that means ?

Great pass from Gomez and Weight scores.
1-0

Wow! Finland won't get a better chance than that!

My predict
2-0 USA(en goal).

This period has been 1000% better than the first.  Great action!

The Fins remind me of the Caps in a must win playoff game.
They will not score.
2nd is over.......1-0

I know what you mean- they'll get a few great chances, but just won't get it in the net.

2-0 sounds about right.

In my opinion , the Fins have been the better team tonight and yet i know they will lose(ala the Caps).
Just for us fans........I hope Fin scores a goal early in the 3rd.

3rd is ON!

By the way
Brett Hull ain't dressed.
1-1
Jokinen scores.

Sorry all.
This game hasn't Rocked my World !
4:30 left in the 3rd.

2=1 FINLAND
Koivu scores thanks to AWFUL defensive play by the USA.

US gets a late PP.
It's now or never.

Not a exciting game.

That looked like a game between Carolina and Phoenix . . . evenly matched suckitude.
