That’s it…or ”Se on siinä”, like our own sportscaster legend: Antero Mertaranta said in 1995 final game when we got our first gold medal at hockey world cup.
Finlad is in final game (again)! We played a great semifinal and broke praised Russia totally!
I was so sure we will loose and was very nervous on the last minuts when we were in the lead 1-0. I was afraid that the Russian still scored (specially when they took their goaltender away) and they were really close.
Our goaltender Kevin Lankinen played a great game and got the best player prize!
I hope we play with the same energy tomorrow in final… and If we will then…
”Torilla tavataan”
(like we say in Finland for example when we win something. It means: We’ll meet at the marketplace).
In this video you can hear a sample of our sportscaster legend: Antero Mertaranta. He’s at fire again when Marko Anttila strike the keygoal at third period.
I have also more to tell you which I will do as soon as possible but for now I just wanted to blaze our win cause I’m so happy for that! I haven’t had much energy or motivation to write. I hope I will get those both back soon! Atleast I feel better now when it’s almost summer and so bright…but anyway…
Congratulations! My mom and I have been enjoying the hockey championships! We were visiting Finland in 1995 and saw the score of the winning game painted on the prow of a ship that was being built in Helsinki! If it’s still in use, there’s a ship out there with a very special landmark hidden underneath the paint!
Thank you! I didn’t know about that ship. How interesting! Yesterday we finished the world cup and won our third world championship! I can’t believe we made it! We won Sweden, Russia and Canada with this unexperienced team! It means: ”Torilla tavataan!”
I knew you’d won when I wrote my comment but didn’t want to spoil the thrill in case you hadn’t watched yet! They did an amazing job! And yes – time to gather and celebrate big!
Oh, ok. I see! 😁👍
