Hero of the Week Part 2

We've discussed my obsession with Finnish hockey. I still can't possibly explain it, except with the following. Ahem:

At 2006 Torino Games, Round Robin First Round:
Record: 5-0
Goals scored: 19
Goals allowed: 2

And Teemu Selanne (at left), in addition to leading the Olympics with 6 goals scored (and being one of the all-time leading Olympic goal scorers) and being a nine-time NHL All Star used to teach kindergarten in Finland to make extra money before he made the NHL. Also, Saku Koivu is a cancer survivor. Furthermore, there are three sets of brothers on the team (Saku and Mikko Koivu, Tuomo and Jarkko Ruutu, and Sami and Niko Kapanen). If that doesn't make them the most lovable hockey team ever, I don't know what would. And, as we've gone over, they all have the best names ever. So, yes, I'm rooting against the US tomorrow.

Which brings me to this: If anyone speaks Finnish and can navigate this site, I'd like a t shirt, please.
