Half the population watched them kick the Swedes ass to win gold at the worlds. They then took to the streets all night, jumping in fountains in city squares, some of them nude. The large Finnish population in Stockholm even did the same thing there.
Apparently there are Finnish newspapers that are printing today in Swedish just to mock them in their own tongue. There was a reported Swedish flag-burning in Oulu.
There will be a ton of Finnish babies born in nine months named Mikko, Petteri and Mikael.
I've got a little bit up on Puck Worlds including some celebrations in Helsinki, plus a link to the photo of the nude fountain dancers of Tampere.... but search the interwebs and YouTube today and you'll find a shit ton more. Plus, if you ever want to hear what biased play-by-play calling sounds in Finnish... turn the volume down on the first video I have up there.
