Here, the translation below is taken from another video's comment section. Kaj Kunnas (the interviewer): "Well Teemu, this felt like the playoffs" Selänne: "Yeah it's a terrific experience, especially after the disappointment yesterday (losing to Sweden), it was tough but we decided immediately that a bronze medal in a tournament like this is something that doesn't come around every day and at the team meeting before the game we decided to play for each other from the heart and…wow, what a team, I am so proud to be a part of it and I am grateful that Erkka (the coach) and the guys believed in me one more time and…24 years, a lion's heart (referring to the Finnish national hockey team being known as "the Lions"), it's been an amazing run" KK: "Teemu, did we see a tear?" Selänne: " o many great memories and…the other day when I thought about this being the final game it still felt like it would never end but…all good things must come to an end and…I enjoyed every moment of it and it's a great place to finish" KK: "Kimmo Timmonen cried, Sami Salo cried…" Selänne: "I promised I wouldn't cry and stay composed but…(can't quite make out exactly what he says there)… the family that the national team has been over the years, to play and develop in, it's something that I will always hold dear to my heart and you can't be anything but proud of this whole "family". KK: "Six olympic games, 4 medals, but that probably doesn't compare to what you are talking about right now" Selänne: "The medals are just the icing on the cake we've all striving towards together...we're a small country that has always supported each other and it's fantastic moments like these, when you show what you can do together…that's something that really can't be compared to anything else. Just fantastic." KK: "Not anything else? Not even a gold medal? (He just HAD to go there didn't he) Selänne: "Well I have to admit a gold medal would have been even better but I'd rather win the bronze than lose a silver medal (referencing the feeling that you WIN a bronze but you lose when you get the silver). We came into this tournament without anyone really believing in us and we lost a lot of guys to injuries but my god the way the guys who came here at the last minute did their job, every guy gave his best and this is the right ending." KK: "Teemu we have to end this interview but right there, behind that lens there are a couple of millions of Finns, what would you like to say to them?" Selänne: " Above all else- thank you for everything, its been a great experience and the support you have shown over the years is something that I will forever hold in my heart. I'm thankful and proud that I've had the opportunity to play for you all these years. Thank you."

Benji Noh, katsotaan vielä ensi kevään kisat tuleeko kieltäytymisiä samaan malliin, kun päästiin Majamäestä eroon. Jotain pitäs kuitenkin tehdä, ei pelkkä valmentaja voi olla syy kieltäytymisiin. Ruotsilla tosin heti joukkoryntäys änäristä kisoihin, kun Grönborg otti ohjat. Siinä missä Grönborg piti yhteyttä NHL pelaajin, Marjamäki piti yhteyttä Lasse Kukkosiin.

eine saatana voi sieltä nhl:stä ihan noinvaan raskaan kauden jälkeen tulla pelaamaan lisää

TheZasu123 Niih, miten sen raskaan määrittelee. Luulisi, että nuorilla kavereilla virtaa riittäisi, jos ovat terveen kauden saaneen pelata. Kummasti Venäjällä ja Ruotsissa ei ole raskaasta kaudesta tietoakaan, vaan lähdetään edustamaan omaa maataa innolla.

nomut jos ei riitä puhti nii turhaa sitä on lähtee väkisin vääntämää

Samaa mieltä. Sitä voi tosin miettiä myös siltä kantilta, että miten ihmeessä pelaaja jaksaisi pelata Stanley Cupin finaaleihin asti, jos ei puhti riitä parin viikon mittaiseen Skoda cuppiin.

Kaj Kunnas on päällikkö! "Teemu, mäkin itken" :D

Mitä tämäkin tyyppi täällä katsoo tätä haastattelua?

Yep, that's him!
