Trying to figure out how to feel about the lock-out is really hard. On the one hand, of course it's sad and awful and it needs to end like now. But on the other hand, getting to see these guys play locally, even if just for a few games... *sigh*
Your team really has the worst luck. And the worst PP. Hopefully Jokinen might be able to do some good. (I may have adopted Kärpät as my team in SM-liiga, so now I feel kind of invested. Damn you!)
Sucks that you live so far away though. Are there any good train/bus connections of some sort, or do you have to get a hold of a car to be able to go see them play?
My personal belief is that Selänne isn't retiring until after Sochi, but that's just pure speculation. I just can't see him opting out of one more chance to get the gold. (Not going to lie here; if Selänne is on the team and Sweden gets knocked out, I might actually end up rooting for Finland in 2014 just because Selänne deserves that damn gold medal.)
