Tampa really made it a tough series, all respect to them.
Even that I`m Fin myself, I really want to point out one player from Chicago, Kimmo Timonen. The guy who was supposed to be too small to play at NHL. The guy who has been at losing teams at Stanley Cup finals, Olympic final, World Championship finals and World Cup final. The guy who suffered last summer life threatening pulmonary embolism. And now, after 17 years at NHL, he retires as a Stanley Cup Champion.

Lots of respect to him. If I recall well, Ray Bourque played 15 years or so and won the cup in the year of his retirement.
How is this news received in Finland?

Just great. We got three new Stanley Cup champions, Timonen, Teuvo Teräväinen and Antti Raanta. And I think Kimmo's story is even more touching than 2007 when Teemu Selänne won Stanley Cup at Anaheim after years of waiting. I`m even a bit touched myself.

Being from Canada, obviously a huge hockey. Habs and Blackhawks.
Nice to see that there is stuff aside from poker on here too. It's great
