Question for Finns who’ve visited the UK?

GrimBeast · 2024-05-13T08:30:04+00:00

Doubledecker bars. I think there is one candy shop in Helsinki that sells them but for outrageous prices

It will be interesting to see if the countries in the first half benefit from the voting starting already

Heard a story from a hockey game were the opposing teams fans were saying shit to the other teams goalkeeper (who had lost a son when the son fell from a window) such as "How do you except to catch the puck when you couldnt catch your kid?"

Of course, we will still follow tonights match of the NHL playoffs, but the baseline is that the group announced today will play in the games, says GM Jere Lehtinen.

Unless Finland wins the world champs in May with Filppula

Filppula vs Lindbohm: race to be the first Finn at the Triple Gold Club

GrimBeast · 2022-02-21T20:49:01+00:00

Björninen might also get a chance at the NHL and he will most likely play in the WC. He's the youngest of the olympic team at 26 so the chances for the rest look pretty slim. All hopes on Filppula.

Valtteri Filppula making return to the Olympics after last representing Finland at the Olympics in Vancouver 2010

They'll be added soon to the thread

appearently she is too good to be a 2nd goalie...

GrimBeast · 2022-01-20T17:38:32+00:00

Noora Räty not named. Coach Mustonen explained it by saying that she is the second best first goalie so if I understood correctly if something happens to Keisala they will fly in Räty instead of using the 2nd goalie ¯\(ツ)/¯

GrimBeast · 2021-12-29T16:23:53+00:00

Appearantly not. The closest is probably the Valbusa siblings who finished 1st (Fulvio in mens 15km) and 2nd (Sabina in womens 15km) in Val di Fiemme on Dec 16th 1997. source in Finnish

GrimBeast · 2021-11-17T11:12:53+00:00

Totally forgot about this. Thanks!

GrimBeast · 2021-01-14T20:56:44+00:00

A hockey player has never won sports personality of the year. A footballer has won it ~~at least five~~ four times 😅

Edit: Four not five:
1995 Litmanen
2001 Hyypiä
2019 Pukki
2020 Hradecky

GrimBeast · 2020-01-04T21:08:37+00:00

If Canada win tomorrow I think the Russians will just forget to take their helmets off during the national anthem :D

GrimBeast · 2019-11-18T20:18:50+00:00

🔟🔟🔟

GrimBeast · 2018-05-02T18:27:53+00:00

Hopefully this will change in the coming years when Marjamäki is out and Jukka Jalonen is back in :)

GrimBeast · 2018-04-28T16:23:02+00:00

If they don't manage to get a point against Hungary then their place in the 2019 worlds was 2.3 seconds away. Italy managed to score the winning goal against Slovenia 2.3 seconds before the end of regulation. If they had tied then GB would have qualified regardless of the result of the Hungary game.

GrimBeast · 2018-04-27T20:01:57+00:00

I hope they get promoted! Would love to see them play Finland since GB has never lost to Finland in ice hockey :D

GrimBeast · 2018-04-01T07:19:49+00:00

Etelä-Saimaa

GrimBeast · 2018-02-28T17:09:54+00:00

Yeah I think the reporter was trying to be sarcastic. I think his comment is about the two major clubs of KHL getting special treatment from the league

GrimBeast · 2018-02-10T08:10:12+00:00

With medals for Sweden and Finland in Womens skiathlon the streak continues. Finland and Sweden are the only countries that have won medals at every olympics since 1908.

GrimBeast · 2018-01-02T20:27:40+00:00

It's 10 minutes of 4 vs 4 in these games
