Good thing Finland won to avoid the possible taint of a Joachim "Closet American" Nermark-led USA championship. Yes I said taint, get over it.

Who the hell is Saku Salminen anyways? He's no Dakota Mermis.

Who the hell is Saku Salminen anyways? He's no Dakota Mermis.

A near-good Rangers prospect who will light 'em up in Hartford next year. I hope he's a Mark Twain fan, 'cause he might be in Connecticut for a good, long time.
