As many of you might know, the Finnish team is called Leijonat, the Lions.

And I know that Sweden's team is Tre Kronor, Three Crowns.

But what about the rest of you? What is your team called? Does it have nicknames? Do you know the history of the name?

Team Canada!....very inventive....or as we nicknamed them...THE WINNERS....LOL

Hahaa, very creative indeed .

I thought you called them "The Golden Boys" ...

Well, Russian are known as BIG RED MACHINE

Big Red Machine .....that was the Cincinatti Reds, circa 1970.

(A few years later when the CCCP got the same nic)

Yeah, in Finnish we sometimes call the Russian team Punakone, which translates as Red Machine. What's the word in Russian?

Большая Красная Машина

LOL you just can't help it can you...

Actually, it is not beautiful, it is red.

Yes, there is difference between beautiful and red, impossible to disagree

Lucy, sorry, they guys asked me to put it in Russian, I did! I am not that well with the latin transcription, putting the accents and stuff...
