Big day tomorrow for Finland. Nobody thought that this team would be able to reach the final, since there is no Selänne (Anaheim) or Saku Koivu (Montreal) in the team, but anyway they made it to the final. Finally Tuomo Ruutu and the other young finns are showing the talent they were known in Finland. T. Ruutu played great today, gave some big hits and did the pass for the winning goal.

Hopefully, Ruutu found his game and can bring it back to Chicago next season. He wasn't sure if he was a 3rd line grinder or a top line scorer last year. We need a scorer and his body isn't holding up well enough for him to be the big hitter he wants to be.

I agree. He has had hard times in NHL , but hopefully he´s now ok and fit to score more goals for Blackhawk´s.

good luck to you guys Ike, I think the Finnish team really deserve it.
Well, Canada won by 4-2. Too many stupid penalties foe our team. In a game like that you can´t afford too many powerplay goals against you.
anyway, Canada won fair and square.
