We even won the Bronze match against Canada... if someone even cares for the bronze. I know I don't... I never watched the game.

I watched that game, was surprise the fins won, but Sulander was really good that game, and Canada, well the disappointment was so huge, the concentration was not like in previous games.

I remember before tournament everyone was talking only which team will face Canada if US or Russians. Rest was just loosers.

Well yeah... but not that big surprise if you just look at the roster we had back then.

Kurri
Teppo Numminen
Prime Selanne (actually he didn't play in the bronze game)
Tikkanen
Prime Jere Lehtinen
Prime Peltonen
Prime Koivu

etc.

It was a great team no doubt. Sulander was good but back then we didn't have a top NHL goalie... such as Rinne, Bäckström, Niemi or Rask.

Virtually the same core team went to the World Cup final in 2004 (which Finland was very close to win) and to the Olympic Final 2006. Not a coincidence. Our new generation isn't even nearly as good & talented.

Actually Jarmo Myllys was starter, but after 6 goals from russia (last was empty netter) Aravirta sent Sulander to the net for this game.

I now, that generation was strong, I remember those battles with Finland on World Championships Finals - but we won both times :P

Btw. Fulinax said he will made all Nagano jerseys so maybe I will really realize this. :good:
