"Taivas Varjele!" is a Finnish language recording by Finnish Hockey Mafia featuring Finnish sports broadcaster and television personality Antero Mertaranta. The hit recording remixing portions of his broadcast comments he made live during the Russia - Finland ice hockey game on May 13, 2011 in a song.
Anterio Mertaranta's comments [1] came after the Finnish national ice hockey team's 19 year old player Mikael Granlund scored the game's initial goal giving a crucial first goal to give his country an eventual 3-0 win in the semi-final game of Finland facing Russia in the semi-final of the 2011 IIHF World Championship hosted by Slovakia. In what is considered one of the most significant goals in ice hockey history, Mikael Granlund scored a spectacular goal. When he was behind the goal area, he put the puck on his stick moved it up and came from the side while still having the puck on his stick and threw it into the goal.
The title of the song "Taivas Varjele!" quotes the Finnish expression used by Mertaranta during his comments meaning "preserve the sky" in Finnish as his reaction to the goal scored.
