4-2 Finns, Koivu gets the game winner late in the third, and then some defensive-minded forward hits an empty netter (maybe Eloranta).

Is Marty going to start?

 

tsn has him as probable, but I'd think he'd definitely start, considering how lights out he's been in the tourney.

 

2-1 Canada in OT.

Bitter that America lost out?

Not really ... the Americans had no business beating a superior Russian team, and I went into the Finland game thinking that the better team would win, and wasn't entirely sure that the US would be the better team that night.

 

I just really think it'll come down to goaltending, and - right now - Kipper > Luongo. If Brodeur is 100% then it's the Canadians. But if it's Luongo or a less-than-100% Brodeur, then I think it's going to the Finns.

Well damn...still, great game, exciting all the way through. Finish was very nailbiting, but Canada held on. Good for them.

Is it me or did the Fins just look LOST when they had to do nothing but attack?

 

Good win for Canada, and it's funny that LeCavalier was a replacement and he ends up winning the MVP for the tourney (although Marty could have made a strong case for it. A GAA of 1 isn't anything to sneeze at)

It was either Vinny or Brodeur winning the MVP.

 

Finland seemed to run out of gas in the third period, but man, they came close a few times.

 

and Doan's goal, wow, what a beauty

And that's about as close as Toronto will get to even sniffing the Cup for a long time to come.

Hehe, and that wasn't a CBA/strike reference either. :D

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you're a fan of Detroit or some other team that's won the Cup recently.

 

Otherwise... :firing:

Congratulations to all of the Canadians, and Canadian fans, on this board. I have to admit that I was rooting for the Finns, but that's mainly because I predicted them to win before the game.

 

Having said that, though, I'm stoked that Joe Thornton got to be on the winning team. Two assists last night, six points in the six games ... not bad for the 'checking line' center. Seeing the B's captain celebrate was a pretty good consolation for seeing the US lose, and then the Finns lose after that.

I go for Boston, and even though it's been a long time, it hasn't been as long as the Leafs. Bring it on. :boxing:
