The Russian Mosin Nagant Forum

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.

No hockey medals for Russia but wait...

Here come the Canucks with thier Longbranch hockey sticks.

Id buy a Finned hockey stick! addict yes I can admit it

Did they pine-tar the grips?

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 ) Who doesn't love Curling too ?

And were they 2 piece or 3 piece toe spliced, maybe with shims in the handle?

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.

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.

Got to love the Finns.

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

Well looks like our boys will be battling it out on ice with the Finns for Bronze. GO USA!

I just had to...lol

The first time I saw curling I thought somebody was pushing a bundt cake around a bowling alley.

But you gotta love women curlers when they yell "Hurry Hard"..

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