16 years. It's been a long wait since last gold. And what better ending than to demolish the swedes 6 - 1.

That goal against Russia was something else though, wow.

IIHF WC 2011 Mikael Granlund 1-0 Goal Finland-Russia

Can't wait to see Granlund in Minnesota.

for my European NHL fan friends:

The National Hockey League on Monday unveiled a "tender process" for international media rights to live hockey games to be sold throughout Europe and the hotter, star tropics of Africa and the Middle East. The league believes hockey is already making strides overseas, as 26% of NHL players come from outside of North America, and with regular season games and exhibitions being staged in Europe

Hopefully Sky Sports will pick this up, because I'm pretty disappointed with it. I get English Premier League, Formula 1 and Golf.... and I am not into both Formula 1 and Golf at all. So yes, give me some NHL and I probably won't discontinue my subscription.

What a crappy goal by bieksa... fuck the Canucks

[Crazylegs]

The fucking way she goes. Go Canucks!

[bright lights, big city]

Bruins/Canucks would be a great Finals. And normally I find myself hoping the Canadian team wins... but fuck the Canucks.

[sing blue silver]

The bruins are more Canadian then the fucking canucks anyway. GO BRUINS!!!!

What's with the raging hatered for Vancouver?

[bright lights, big city]

Not my most hated team in sports (probably now belongs to the Miami Heat), but I think I personally dislike them now even more than Detroit. I smell a list brewing...

-Raffi Torres is just a thug that shouldn't even be allowed to play
-Luongo's a pussy. his nickname is Bobby Lou. Seriously?
-The green men fans next to the penalty box. It's funny on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It was kind of funny 2 years ago when PHILADELPHIA had their version of it. But now it's just lame.
-I love hockey uniforms, they're the best jerseys out of all sports. That said, the Canucks are ugly. The logo is terrible.
-Sedins. I know their twins, ginger twins at that. But do they really need to have the same exact haircut AND facial hair? Annoying. And creepy.

Nice city though.

+ their fans are bandwagoners
+ they only cheer on the team AFTER they score a goal, otherwise they are deathly quiet

[Corleone]

Fuck all the people that said Boston was in the final, they still haven't beat Tampa!

sorry just annoyed...

[bright lights, big city]

goddamn Roloson. I'm sorry I helped jinx the Bruins.

unrelated, but I found that awesome Finnish goal for everyone to ogle at in glorious gif form.

I think I love you a little bit.

[bright lights, big city]

like Sea Bass likes the Bulls, you like the Hawks AND dislike the Canucks. So yeah the feeling's mutual, lol.

Granlund stamp came on sale on Friday, but was rapidly sold out
