Indeed, but the Georgian team marched on, fully honoring him...

Yes! Team Finland for ice-hockey gold!

Ice hockey Gold did you say? I'm not from any of the countries considered "powerhouse" of that sport but .... i get a feeling...no. :)

Teemu Selanne-led Finland beats up on Belarus

VANCOUVER — Teemu Selanne grabbed a slice of Olympic history, but he was more impressed with his team than himself.

The Finnish Flash collected one assist Wednesday in Finland's resounding 5-1 victory over Belarus in the Olympic hockey opener for both countries. Selanne's assist was his 36th point at the Games, tying him with Soviet legend Valeri Kharlamov and Czech Vlastimil Bubnik for most points all-time.

Go Finland Go! Next opponent Germany, Friday 9PM PST (Saturday 6AM CET). You guys have no idea what it means to me, a Finn in Germany, to watch the game first at home, and after we have won the Germans go to my local pub that opens about the time when the game is over, wearing a Team Finland jacket and carrying a Finnish flag!

I'm quite sure they are going to kick my a** but it's going to be worth it!

Kari I am away from home at the moment, oh how I wish I could be there with you. Come on the Finns.

In women's ice hockey, Team Finland meats USA tomorrow. It's going to be a good game, I'm sure. Our ladies won Russia 5-1 on Saturday and China 2-1 yesterday but USA has also played the same two teams, winning Russia 13-0 and China 12-1 so statistics say the dear ladies of Finland are going to have difficult game.

P.S. Does it come clear, between the lines I mean, that I like Ice Hockey? And Finland?
