Ice hockey, part 2

February 24th, 2006 | Category: sport

Here’s a question: Is it possible to go through the whole tournament without losing a single match? Especially when Finland will be playing Sweden for the gold? It’s a dream final and it’s a nightmare final. But whatever happens, Finland will be the moral winners. Sweden has lost some matches (including 0-5 to Russia who we just beat 4-0 in the semi). Finland has played five (5!) matches without allowing a single goal against. All of that will be for nothing if Sweden scores a single goal more than we do on Sunday… It doesn’t get any more bitter than losing that match.Oh, and I just have to add, even if Sweden beats Finland 20-0 they will still not have deserved the gold. It was cowardly to lose the last preliminary on purpose in order to get an easy quarter-final. Real men are not afraid of any opposition.
