Damn. I never noticed you aren't a native english speaker... that's nice tho! English is very important in today's world


Yeah I'd feel pretty lonely without being able to communicate with anyone outside my home country which is comparably very small.

Tbh kids in Finland start learning English in the 3rd grade (9 years old and so forth) so most of the younger folk here are close to fluent in English.


So crazy to think...in the US we don't learn any other languages. Wish we did but that's probably part of our cocky mentality that we are number 1

Anyone notice how many teams that lost the first game ended up winning the second game against the same team? NJD, NYR, DET, TOR, EDM, ARI, maybe LAK if they hold on. Crazy. Coincidence? Have there been any sweeps???

I learned Spanish from grades 3-11. I could probably pick up French pretty easily if I wanted to but I was lucky and had a local public school system that cared about integration. Wish more US schools taugh different languages

Yea, but it's not engrained into us. Like there is people in america that speak mostly spanish so it's worth it to start teaching kids spanish right away but it doesn't happen.

From what I’ve heard it’s a lot easier to learn a language when your younger. There’s scientific reasoning behind it I j don’t know what exactly it is

We don't really have much choice. Finland would be a very secluded country if they couldn't communicate with others. So the country invest on its inhabitants to learn other languages.

For example, we're being taught English from 9 years old and so forth, and Swedish from the 7th grade (13yo) (although most of us hate it as we don't really need Swedish for anything). Also the students can choose to learn either French or German from 4th grade (10yo) should they want to. I didn't, and I regret it a bit.

Should the student head to upper secondary school after comprehensive school (which lasts from 1st to 9th grade, or from 7 to 15 years old) they have the choice of starting to learn Spanish or Russian as well...some schools also offer the possibility of learning languages like Chinese or even Latin, but it's quite uncommon.

And all of this is completely free for the students, minus the books they might have to buy.

Hello! This seems like a fun thread to create to open up a forum for information in the season where people can watch the thread and break/discuss/argue about the 2021 season! If your tagged you do not have to join and watch this thread!
You will normally only get pinged for the first discussion point and not constant if there is a discussion right after something, if there is people spamming or being annoying on here it should be easy enough to block them and they will disappear from their feed and it will clear up the forum for you!

Logos should be used at the top of your posts about certain teams it will make it easier for people to search for their favorite teams and see who you are talking about so if I'm talking about the last sabres game I would do this -

Buffalo Sabres vs Washington Capitals 1/14
Sabres had a lot of opportunity in this game to win and probably would have if Staal hadn't given it away and popped the teams bubble.

If you not pinged in the below post just join! I will add usernames of people who are watching this thread so people know who's seeing their posts and can see the different fan bases who are on here. For questions, thoughts, opinions, trade ideas, and good rivalries! Anyway if you want to join, @BuFfaLOFaN with your favorite team and I will add u into the list here! Have fun and stay safe out there!

It's a Finnish-Swedish site called Viaplay. They have bought the rights of showing NHL games in the Scandinavian region I think. So it's the only way to watch games here without VPN...not counting illegal streams naturally.

Thanks for this lesson! It's really interesting to learn about other countries and their cultures, I wish I had learned spanish or french but... whatever I don't have time for it now ...
