Which team will win?!?

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Tough game.

Team USA dominated the second period, but we defended quite well and managed to put up some surprise attacks.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Between the first and second period, we had an interesting insert. About the legendary Czech goaltender Dominik Hašek. He plans to become the president of Czech Republic!

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

The Finns are coached by Sir Raimo Helminen

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Scott Sandelin coaches Team USA.

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Oi maamme, Suomi, synnyinmaa,
O our land Finland, our land of birth,
soi, sana kultainen!
sound, the golden word!
Ei laaksoa, ei kukkulaa,
There's no a valley, no a hill
ei vettä rantaa rakkaampaa,
no a water, a shore more precious
kuin kotimaa tää pohjoinen,
than this northern homeland
maa kallis isien!
the dear land of our fathers!

[Mikachu Yukitatsu]

Thanks for following the match with me, ladies and gentlemen, and if you didn't, you sure had better things to do! Russia v Sweden will begin shortly but I won't make a thread for that. Stay tuned for Canada v Finland. The puck drops to ice at 8 PM my timezone!
