Finland Defeats Russia

Post by kwillindy »

A diffferent sort of Winter or Continuation skirmish? Finland beat Russia 3-1 in mens Olympic hockey. Makes one wonder if the Finns acquired Russian hockey sticks and reworked them into more accurate shooters. :)

Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.

Lovin the Olympics, our TV has seen nothing else for the past week. The hockey tourney has been epic. Go USA and Go Blackhawks ! Love the Chicago Blackhawks as much as old rifles. Hope to get a Finn rifle someday. ( mandatory MN content for my OT post ) :chuckles: Who doesn't love Curling too ? :lol:

:pointup: :chuckles: I was watching that game this morning and the Finn's lived up to their reputation yet again! I really admire their "sisu" to use a Finn term and I hope they make it past the Swedes and the US makes it past the Canadians. I would love to see the US play the Finns for the gold. :thumbsup:

I assume the Finnish hockey stick had a "D" on them.

Got to give a shout out to Canadas Jennifer Jones and team for getting Gold in womens curling.

Eleven wins in a row without a single loss.

I don't care what country you live in but that's impresive. :D

God played a cruel joke on both the Finns and the Scots. Just look at who he gave them as neighbors!

I'm pretty sure that game was invented by some bored Canadians who made use of the fruit cakes that nobody eats.
