Rollercoaster Night: Most F5 Pressed In My Life!!!

15 December 2008. (European time 14 December)
Past midnight.
WFC 2008 Final.
Sweden vs Finland.
Sverige vs Suomi.

It was:
Sweden's 7th consecutive final appearance and on route to a 7th consecutive World Championship Gold medal.
Niklas Jihde's last international appearance.
Finlands 5th appreance in the final and a chance for revenge for 06's WFC sudden death defeat to Sweden.

It was late at night.
Tomorrow is a Monday, is a working day.
I stayed up all night in front of my lap top keeping myself update with the live score.

1st period. the Fins were cruising with full domination. 4-0.
Yeah!! This time they gonna win it, I thought.
But Linken said, Don't be too happy, the last WFC, they lost after leading 4-1 in the 1st period.
Touchwood!!

Big mouth Linken was right. Crap~
The 2nd period, the Swes started their comeback.
Less than 50 sec, the first goal.
10 minutes, the second.
Both assisted by #14 Henrik Quist.(Kembang ald that Chris.)
And then the third.
End of 2nd period, 4-3.
Finlands lead cut down to 1 goal. Dangerous wei~
My heart was pumping darn fast.
Will they lose it again??? Crap~

The 3rd period.
I felt I was going to have a heart attack.
Sweden equalised in 5 minutes and then scored 2 consecutive goals in quick succession.
10 minutes left to go, Finland down by 2.
F5, F5, F5, F5.....
I keep pressing F5 to refresh the page while mumbling, Come on. Come on. Come on.
55th minute, Finland finally scored again!!!
Hopes lifted... then dropped flat again...
Mika missing a crucial penalty shot. Crap~
Crap, crap, crap...
They gonna lose it already. 5 minutes left.
5 minutes left and they scored!!!
Yes!!! Equalised!!! Yes!!!
Normal time ended 6-6.

Sudden death.
F5, F5, F5, F5.....
Refreshing the page more frequent while praying, Come on. Come on. Come on.
YES!!!!!!!!
65 minutes, Tiitu finished off Sweden!!!
Finally, the Swedish dominance in World Championships is broken!!!
Finally, I can go to bed with a peaceful mind and a nice dream.
ZZZ......
