Ice hockey

February 20th, 2006 | Category: sport

Finland won over Canada 2-0. What a disappointment. Yes you read it right. For the first time in my life, I was wishing that Finland would lose. The reason is simple - the Finnish ice hockey team just simply isn’t good enough to keep the high standard up through the whole tournament. They are notorious for folding out unexpectedly - like losing a match they led 5-1 at one point. So it’s better to take that statistical loss in the preliminaries when it doesn’t matter, rather than be knocked out in the play-offs or finals. We have seen this happen too many times already!
