Ishockey VM 2005 header

The ”F”-day was finally here. Time to wipe the ice with the kittens from the little neighbour in the East, finland. This is the game that one is looking forward to every year it is time for the World Championships. The pre-talk and the mockery from both the Swedes and the finns goes on for days and days before the game where it is said that “You will get it on Wednesday”, “No you will”, “You have the worst hockey team in the world”, “No you have” and similar intelligent discussions.

Already early in the morning one can therefore see the different supporter groups rumble into the town-centre to get charged before this “The game of the year” that we, who are on location every year, gets to see.

Johanna together during the pre-partying in Innsbruck together with more finnish supporters.

As can bee seen one of the finnish supporters proves why they are not only called “the worst alcoholics of the northern hemisphere”, but why they should also be called “the most sun-sensitive in the north”. Not beautiful at all.

   

When finns are singing it sounds just as nice as when a junkie tries to sing something of Britney Spears under a hard rush. The clip on the left is shot at the same pre-party. Ellu and Johanna is amused looking when Jorma gives his “best”…

Johanna and Paul is really getting in the mood for Hockey.

   

At least a small group of the locals knew who was going to bee the winning team this night, just like so many times before against finland.

The finn to the left was nagging about the what he was holding in fis hand was a penis-holder and that he might had to change it for a bigger one “since it is too small”. But we think that he was only bragging.

   


The temperature is rising in the beer tent before the game. The finns and the Swedes are giving it all together. Just like so many years before, the finns were really convinced that they would get their (undeserved) victory against Sweden. But we are sorry to say: Sorry finland, once again we showed you who are the best team on the ice. And you should know that by now.

As we said, the spirit is high in the beer tent!

4-1 in the second period. Is looking good! finland was taking the lead with 1-0, but sorry finland! Not this time, either!

   

All the light on Sweden while the finns has to listen to the Swedish national anthem. Just like it shall be, and has been for the last years when the teams have played against each other. Finland has actually not won ONE SINGLE GAME against Sweden during a Championships game since the two teams met each other in Cologne, four years ago. Pathetic!

And over finland the darkness is slowly descending…

   

Jocke is making a summary over how it went in the game on the 4:th of May.

The darkness that surrounds him might symbolise what the entire finnish nation felt this night (again).
