Congratulations to Finns for outplaying USA olympic
hockey team without resorting to unsportsmanlike cheap shots and penalty-box occupation. Finland has greater resources than killer cheese! |

Thank you very much!!
We do feel very proud of our athletes. Some have been very lucky and have done very well (hockey, curling, giant slalom etc.), whereas others have not quite fulfilled our eager expectations (ski jump, figure skating). And now off to watch the semi-final game, where our boys play against our Eastern neighbours, the Russki-boys. Christine in Vantaa, Finland And I bet the Russians will be far more formidable opponents than anyone yet. Heavy-duty sporting purrs for the Finns to prevail in the semis! |

Ice hockey, at least as played in the USA, is more about the violence than about the sport. Fans can get really horrible, and the players just seem to be in it for the violence. I had to stop watching it years ago because it was so disgusting. I am also disgusted by the violence in pro hockey, but as someone who's played beer league hockey for a few years, I love to watch their moves. They are amazing athletes. I'd just rather not see them fighting. -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |

Looking good so far: 1-0 for us after the first period! 3-0 for us after the second period!! Yay!! That's some great hockey our boys are playing! Even kept our end clean having two players in the penalty box against a full set of Russians! Saku Koivu's penalty was really not an intentional case of holding, he just happened to grab the Russian's sleeve when he fell, and ended up with a nose-bleed from the Russian's stick to top it off. And the Russians are getting nervous with their zero-score... -- Christine in Vantaa, Finland christal63 (at) gmail (dot) com photos: http://photos.yahoo.com/christal63 photos: http://community.webshots.com/user/chkr63 |

I thought only us rednecks had that "rebel yell"! LOL. Congrats again on demolishing the Russians. So.....now it all boils down to the age-old Scandinavian rivals: Finland/Sweden. I know some Swedes and they are very big on their outdoor sports competitions. I'm very happy for you. Where is Marina? Out on that enclosed porch with her beloveds? You need to tell her to grab everybody and take in the hockey champs. |
