I'v just had enough of godlike terms "meidän peli (our game)" and "viivelähtö (conservative opening)". You can't watch hockey game in Finland without hearing those.
Man Lazion, you can't even begin to imagine how bad it is to be in the U.S. and listen to that sort of stuff from Canada, except amped up about 10x worse.

It's sure worse Primis especially when the NHL keep pushing hockey down USA throat when 3/4 of them actually don't care about it. It's a little upsetting when we are so passionate about it here. Not saying everyone don't like hockey in the US though but you get the picture.

There will always be whiners though that will rant on everything, especially the too much proud Canadian/hockey fan. We have a good proof just by looking at the result of the tournament. Some people are freaking out because we got beat by Europe and that hockey is OUR sport and nobody is supposed to beat us because of that. The thruth is we are far from been alone now and Europe and the US are now really good at developing their young guys.
