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
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.
