Omg! Team Finland!!!
 

After a loss to our Canadian hockey team, I had the pleasure of hanging out and meeting TEAM FINLAND!

I have to say that I've never met such a great bunch of guys in my life! Even tho they lost, they were in great spirits. They sang their team song, danced and drank their faces off till they had to get on their bus and go to the airport.

I, being the bartender, was "forced" to sit and hang out with these boys!

Kudos, to SAKU KOIVU, TEEMU SELANNE, OLLY JOKINEN, YARI KURI, MIKO KOIVU, AKI BERG, KARPINEN, and the rest of the guys!!!

Even with all their money and exposure, they were the best bunch of guys I've had the pleasure in meeting!

I'm now a huge Finland fan!!:thumbsup :winkwink:

Wow awesome dude... must have been fun.

thats pretty awesome that you got to hang out with them. i wish i couldve done that.

Canada rock!

I've always been a fan of the Fins. Through all the decades where we had the Winnipeg Jets here, our team was very open to recruiting both Swedes and Finnish players, always. Selanne was our top dog for several years.

The Fins are always a dangerous team in these big world tournaments. Their players never seem to carry that air of arrogance that many north American pro athletes seem to drag around with themselves.

Nothing but good things to say about the Fins here. :thumbsup

Completely!! They were as if I had known them all my life! Signing jerseys and inviting ppl to come and hang with them. Even tho most of them live in N.A. they still didn't carry any attitude.

I took pics with Selanne and the boys. I'll post them when I get them!:thumbsup

and boy can they drink!!

Very cool man. Where they sad

Not even close... Saku said they played a shitty game but they had much respect for the Canadians.:thumbsup

And I know all Russian players from Toronto Maple Leafs personally ... :thumbsup

I'm sure you do!!! that's great!

the leafs are awesome!! I grew up with a few of them and I'm their biggest fan!!


I hope they come to an agreement today tho, or else there won't be any hockey for a while:(

They better have a season, I'll be so mad if they don't!!
WG

deadline is today so cross your fingers!!:winkwink:

cool stuff :thumbsup

I know, I'm listening to the news waiting to hear, not liking what I'm hearing :(

WG

cause of the film fest is rosewater supper club packed?

so what happens if they don't come to an agreement?? Is there no chance of ANY hockey this year???:(

I'm working at FLOW Restaurant and lounge now:thumbsup

The Finnish can drink, that's for sure.

they drink "BATTERIES" (red bull/ vodka) like it's water!!:glugglug

That's awesome to hear Odie - it's inspiring to hear that they were as gratious in defeat as they were in Victory throughout the World Cup - :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

I've seen the Leafs after they've lost a regular season game and they are not fun to be around.

The Fin's lost the world cup and they were sooo happy to be together!!:thumbsup

You worked at Rosewater? Risha was a fun :Graucho bartender when I was going there. Looks like she didn't do too well in the UMM hottest bartender competition though.

ahhhh I hate the Fins!!!:mad:


:) seriousley there is no other team in the world we (Sweden) like to beat more than the Fins, and its mutual :1orglaugh

But I still like em, have about 6 Fins in my local team Timra IK :thumbsup

who the hell is this???

I worked at the rosewater for 4 years!! I trained Risha..she's umm well...no comment..

hottest bartender...what a joke...there are WAYYYYY hotter bartenders in the city that would blow ANY of those girls away!!!:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

yeah I guess the feeling is mutual...I mentioned that I was going to Sweden b/c I have familiy and a restaurant there and they told me to make I go to Finland instead!!! lol:thumbsup

The finnish league starts tomorrow.. :Graucho

I don't think I implied that you knew me or I you.

Didn't say she was the hottest, just that she was fun. She made a few of my friends squirm pretty good. I used to go too Rosewater with the boys from Equicom when I was doing some work with them and hanging with the Bay St crowd.

The feeling is mutual. :BangBang:

Equicom!!! Cameron Davies, Lawrence and the boys are good friends of mine!!!

I'm surprised we never met!! I stopped working there in January of this year..:thumbsup

my understanding it's the same feeling between Canada and the US?? lol:winkwink:

Odie, post pics now!

:Graucho

I didn't have my camera but Kuri's brother in law took tons of pics for me and I gotta wait for him to email him.

one of the other bartenders did too.. so I'll post them tomorrow!!:thumbsup

Yeah, I guess. But I like the swedish girls. :Graucho

I now LOVE Finnish boys!! lots' a yummy boys!! :glugglug

Cameron's good peoples, that's for sure; His girl ain't half bad either. I think she moved out on him to be closer to her office in Yorkville though. Joanna and Scott are cool too and Barry was always good for a few rounds on the companies credit cards . :Graucho

Cool, they're a great team and they really gave us a run for our money.

def!! I was worried in the third period!! wheew!!!!:winkwink:
