Right.

The Fins are going to be a tough feisty team to play against with the likes of Koivu and the Ruutu brothers.

it will probably be a physical game since the Fins like tight checking...and they have a pretty good goalie too...and some decent stars up front..

Canada was soooooooooo lucky tonight.

Oh well nah nah nah Canada won Canada won. That felt good.

I think Canada is going to spank Finland silly. Lecavialier, St. Louis, and Richards already spanked Kippies ass once during the Stanley Cup playoffs i don't see why they can't do it again. --- Kev

Could care less, after Tuesday there will be NO more Hockey, I'm pumped about the NFL and the U.S. Open, the Seattle Seahawks play @ the New Orleans Saints tommarow and the Lleyton Hewitt vs Roger Federer match is also tommarow.

Has it been that long??????

perhaps a recap:

Stanley Cup Finals 2004

Game 1: Cal 4 - TB 1
Game 2: TB 4 - Cal 1
Game 3: Cal 3 - TB 0
Game 4: TB 1 - Cal 0
Game 5: Cal 3 - TB 2 (OT)
Game 6: TB 3 - Cal 2 (OT)
Game 7: TB 2 - Cal 1

Where in there did TB's St.Louis, Richards and Lecavalier spank Kipper's ass? 7 games, close scores from game 4 on... thats playoff hockey that even though Calgary lost...revived interest in hockey throughout Canada and around the world.

Not to sound like sour grapes but had they stopped and reviewed game 6 on Gelina's non goal......SERIES OVER FLAMES WIN THE CUP!!!! Then who spanked who's ass?

The Finns finished their side of the pool winning all games convincingly and tying Sweden in the final game of the round robin. Kipper has shown in this tournament that he is no fluke and can play with the best of them.

Think that the other side of the pool was weak??? Finns cross the pond to beat the defending champs Team USA while the Czechs gave Canada a run for its money taking them to OT before bowing out.

My point of all this is to show that Canada will be in tough on tuesday against the Finns.

I agree Kipper and the Flames never got spanked once against Tampa ......but on the Finn team Kipper is the only thing that makes me nervous the defence and forwards of Finland are not even close to as good as Calgary's, Team USA looked bad this year except for Esche and were lucky to win last time .....Canada will Crash the net and knock them all over the ice. I don't think the Finns have the talent to throw the puck around against TC the way the Czech's did ............Canada will win 4-1 !!

It seems i ruffled a few Flame fans feathers. Okay i was a little over enthusiastic with the ass spanking comment.

However Kippy was still on the short end of the stick.

I just think its interesting that LeCavalier and St. Louis will be shooting against Kippy again. Along with the rest of team Canada. --- Kev

Was it Canada really looking bad or were the Czechs just that much better? I think it was the latter. The Czechs really have some outstanding players and they played Canada so well that Canada had a hard time answering the bell. Although they did and eventually won. Who Hoo!!!!!! --- Kev

As much as I am a Kipper fan., I hope he is on the short end of the stick this time...GO CANADA GO!!!

I don't think it's LeCavalier and St. Louis that Kipper worries too much about but Brad Richards, thats another story.

Anyway you cut it, its gonna be a heck of a game Tuesday and Kipper got the ability to steal one.

In a game like tonight is when you realize how much they miss Blake and Pronger.....Big,Mean & Nasty Way to much chasing the puck and not enough crushing people into the boards......They totally let the Czech's dictate the game.



Wouldn't it be fun to see Reigher crash the net on Kipper and the rebound goes to Sakic for the winner on Tuesday......Something to talk about in Calgary's locker room next year......whenever that year is....
