Unleash Juha Lind!

That's right. You thought Finnish hockey was a joke. Or, at the very least, a Jokinen (that would be Olli Jokinen, Finland's baby-faced center). But ask Russia who's laughing now? Hey, Ivan? How did that 3-1 spanking feel?
I think we've learned several things.
1) Never underestimate the motivating power of carp. Remember, Team Finland isn't playing for the gold, the silver, or the bronze. They're playing, basically, for fish. That's all they're interested in. Just some smoked fish.
2) Never underestimate Mikko Eloranta. Many have. Few make the same mistake twice. He scored the winning goal today against Russia, and could have had about four assists. Dude is playing out of his Finnish mind.
3) Hmm, it seems to me there's only one team that has won an Olympic medal in each of the last two Olympics. I wonder ... could it be ... was it ...FINLAND??? The two-time defending bronze medalists are nicely coming together as a TEAM, which is what hockey is: a TEAM sport, not a bunch of spoiled cry-baby superstars (cough, cough, Canada).
I understand Wayne Gretzky is considering adding Jamie Sale' to the Canadian defensive corps, seeing as she knows how to bounce back following a hit.
Go Finns!!!!
