.......congratulations.......

Well, what can I say? Finland was the best team in the final, I have no idea what happened to the swedish players though, it almost looked like they didn't want to win the final. But with all these young players it's looking very good for the future, for both teams.

I also feel sorry for the swedish goalie, Victor Fasth, who have been outstanding this tournament and was chosen the MVP in the World Championships. But in the final three minutes all the swedish players stopped playing and he was left alone on almost all the three last goals.

Looks like Assistant coach Pasi Nurminen had a busy night. :-D

Seriously, I really hope this will not be a start to Nupe's alcoholism. He had problems with that Adam Oates after he retired, bar fights, driving drunk but he has been clear few years now.
