True but I'd rather be a Sidney than a Maxim.

Wasn't Maxime someones wife on Coronation Street?

The guy that sounds like he's been breathing in helium?

Ridiculing maybe, but I dont think anyone was suggesting they would lose.

1) Ridiculing Team Canada? I think not.

2) Doubting the boys' commitment to Team Canada? Perhaps.

3) Forgetting to tuck in the string of a tampon? Priceless.

You still seem to believe that Canada with it's larger population to draw from would be expected to beat the Finns.

This is not necessarily the case, the Finns and other European countries have produced excellent players over the last twenty years. In fact if you look at who are the stars in the NHL most of them are not Canadian.

In addition here is a list of teams ranked by I don't know who but it is on the official World Championship website, note the Finns are ranked ahead of the Canadians. It appears to have been done a little tongue in cheek but appears a legitimate ranking non the less..

So in answer to your question I'm sure there were many who doubted Canada could beat Finland.

Cheers
Steve
