I am already here! Hopefully Zito comes too. OJ told during the game that Zito was basically living in Helsinki in the late 90s when OJ played for HIFK. That 1997-98 winning team had three players who became Stanley Cup champions, namely Brian Rafalski, Tim Thomas and Kimmo Timonen. All in all, it's the greatest team ever played in the Finnish league. Before that there were a couple of HIFK players who won Stanley Cups. Carl Brewer who built the HIFK identity, had won three and the legendary Esa Tikkanen won 5 SCs (4 in Edmonton and 1 in New York). It's great that Anton joins that group of champions. He'll bring the cup to Stadi!

If they had any eye for this they would arrange a big stanley cup party in Helsinki and Tampere.
But you know how bad finns are arranging events
