Finland for Thought Politics, current events, culture - In Finland & United States
Tervetuloa | Welcome I'm an American who's been living in Finland for five years. I started this blog to address some of the political, cultural, and current event issues in Finland and the United States. I am a strong advocate of liberty, individuality, equality, and tolerance. Enjoy!

Nooooooo!!!!!!!!!!
TG I’m in England, where I can lick my wounds in solitude…This HURTS, man! Cue a lonely trip to the pub where no-one will understand my sorrow…
Silver medal is great but it doesn’t feel like it. I’m so pissed atm. My tv’s is showing some green shit color, maybe I’ll just throw it out from the balcony. I hope it lands on Volvo. God damn this feels sooo baaad
Are these two guys in the picture getting ready and doing a bit of foreplay before the main event later on Quite enlightened for hockey players if that is.
Olli Jokinen also looked as though he was totally wasted. He was falling all over that guitarist. Hope he doesn’t have a game tonight. Or tomorrow.

On a side note, the NHL is like the english football premiership. They need to import foreigners to make it interesting. The sad thing is that US/Canadian players dont even learn, considering their performance last week.

At 1-1, this game sucks arse. I’m never watching sports again.

Finland has no offense so far. They go down the opposite side of the ice and have no plan, too anxious.
Comment by Phil — Sun, Feb 26th, 2006 @ 4:11 pm
A very physical game, a couple scuffles already. Let’s see if theres a fight by the end of the game.
Comment by Phil — Sun, Feb 26th, 2006 @ 4:13 pm
Fuck me……. 2-1 Sweden
Comment by Phil — Sun, Feb 26th, 2006 @ 4:16 pm
This is so sad. I know Finland is going to lose and I can’t do anything about it. I just have to watch them do it.
Comment by Johnnyboy — Sun, Feb 26th, 2006 @ 4:17 pm
WTF? What’s with all the penalties?
Comment by Matt — Sun, Feb 26th, 2006 @ 4:18 pm
2-2. Okay, that means nothing.
Comment by Johnnyboy — Sun, Feb 26th, 2006 @ 4:18 pm
GOOOOAALLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When Finland actually calms down on offense and throws a few decent passes, we score.
Comment by Phil — Sun, Feb 26th, 2006 @ 4:18 pm
Sweet!
Comment by Matt — Sun, Feb 26th, 2006 @ 4:21 pm
Erf, Finland’s offense can look so good for a few minutes and then there’s a few minutes of uncertainty
Comment by Phil — Sun, Feb 26th, 2006 @ 4:27 pm

Sweden’s defense was outstanding and Finland never bothered to adapt. Sweden deserved that win. GGs.
Comment by gopha — Sun, Feb 26th, 2006 @ 5:14 pm
Lucky bastards won again.
I think this game shows why Donald Duck is the most popular Disney character in Finland. “Hannu Hanhi” won again and those goals where all very lucky.

They are all millionare NHL players anyways. I’m surprised the bulk of both teams weren’t playing for team USA.

Hey, what’s with the poll?? I voted, yet no votes are showing. Are those chads fully punched through, I wonder?
Not that it matters….:(

I come back from church to see this? Ugh. It is brutal to see, but being a life-long Cubs fan has prepared me for stuff like this.

Let me quess, how it will go in Vancouver 2010.
Finland:
Gold medals won - Zero, Nada, Zilch, No way.
Silver - 153
Bronze - 321
We should start using silver coins again because of all that fucking silver. Put them to good use.

Great silver show at Kauppatori!
Olli Jokinen was one of the biggest stars!
