It seems to be that especially when it comes to Finnish hockey, you should never get too excited over anything or anyone, because you're just setting yourself up for a disappointment. If things go better than expected, it's okay to feel a little joy :D That's what I've learned anyways.
Ain't that the truth. :D The problem being, that while I do know this, and try to remind myself of it, I just end up not forgetting it, the moment there's any kind of good news. Pretty much the only time I've managed to be convinced that optimisim is a bad bad thing, when it comes to team Finland was the 2011 Worlds, and well..

We went to downtown Tampere right after the game had ended, and if I'd have to pick one word to describe the mood of the people celebrating, honestly, it'd be shellshocked.

Personally, I swam in a frigging water fountain, because earlier that day, a friend on mine had made us promise we'd do it, if they won. At the time, it was really easy to just say sure, sure. It's not like there was any change of having to make good on that word, right. :D
Oh god, the 2006 Olympics. This might very well be the single most painful interview ever. Someone punch that interviewer in the face, please!
I'd love to think Westerlund sees things our way, but so far I haven't seen much proof.Well, his 2006 team was somewhat like this. Promising youngsters and great veteran leaders. So there's that
