IIHF has some new rule for this season that players who are 18 have to wear a full cage..

vi. All players who are 18 years and younger, regardless what event or
tournament they are participating in, must wear a cage constructed in
such a way that neither the puck nor a stick blade can penetrate it.

i think we will see lot of these then

must be a promotion rule of some kind..

 

[fr9dd9]

So on what place do you guys see team finland land this year?

Im just gonna go with 3rd.

 

[Past Considerations]

The news story also mentions that it is not sure yet whether this rule is appied in the tournament, but clearly they're playing it safe (pun intended) at the camp.

 

[Past Considerations]

Yeah but not all fin games, only against usa and canada, but thats on tv10 and I think thats with viasat not svt. Think svt just shows playoff games, not sure! So I wanna find a solution to see at least every game that finland plays..

Well, the Katsomo subscription for sure then gives you what you want (every Fin game). I think you should be able to do the order even without a VPN (free one: http://hola.org) but you're going to need it during the streaming of course. Ask here help if Google fails at translating the site (or are you a Finn?).

Thanks for the help, yes im gonna try! My girl is suomi tuttö so she have to help me. Thanks again!

 

[FinPanda]

So.. Saarela is injured again and will not play. Damn..

If Viasat Sweden airs any of Finland's games, you'll be able to watch them with AceStream, there's been 4500 kbps quality streams at wiziwig for football with that quality. I think the streamer has put on NHL games that Viasat has aired but I don't know about international games. You should check out this week's tournament to see if there's any.

I don't think he would've made it anyway so not a big loss for the team. Feel bad for the guy though, falling into 3rd or 4th round at the draft seems likely now.

Yes im gonna be able to watch two games on viasat, But I think I will go with that hula thing and katsomo so I can watch all finns games there!

OT: I would actually say there is a bigger loss than winn that saarela is injured..

 

[Opak]

So.. Saarela is injured again and will not play. Damn..

That pretty much ends the competition for the centers... Mustonen, Vähätalo, Kalapudas, Björninen and Rauhala all make it IMO. One of them is the 13th forward. Don't see them using Hintz as a center.

I don't think he would've made it anyway so not a big loss for the team. Feel bad for the guy though, falling into 3rd or 4th round at the draft seems likely now.

Saarela could definitely pull a Vatanen and become a mid-round gem for somebody.

 

[EXTRAS]

Do you guys think Kahkonen has a chance to be the starter next season?

 

[Gaps]

Do you guys think Kahkonen has a chance to be the starter next season?

Absolutely. The goalies next year could be Kähkönen/Vehviläinen/Heljanko and right now Kähkönen is the furthest in his development.

[LetsGoBLUES91]

What are your thoughts on Husso? Is he going to be the starter at the WJC this year?

Does he project to be a legit NHL starter?

Not unless Saros breaks his leg.

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

I knew he was a good prospect but didn't realize how highly regarded he was. Thanks.

 

[FinPanda]

It's close. Both have been great this year. First games in the tournament will tell.

 

[Scouter]

Not unless Saros breaks his leg.

Saros has been shaky this year, so he could be.

 

[FLYguy3911]

Saros has been shaky this year, so he could be.

I'll believe it when I see it. He's probably the best junior goalie in the world. Carried them to gold last year.

 

[behemolari]

good for both, Saarela & Detroit

 

[behemolari]

What are your thoughts on Husso? Is he going to be the starter at the WJC this year?

no way ..however he may steal that spot later on the tournament

Does he project to be a legit NHL starter?

definitely

 

[FiLe]

Saros has been shaky this year, so he could be.

Eh, what? If Saros has been "shaky", then I guess Husso has been too because their stats are pretty much identical. I dunno which dark hole you've been living in, but if you want a candle, please ask.

The fact is, both have been solid. In that we agree that Husso has very much a chance to be the one that plays more. Nothing is cemented.

According to Kiprusoff, our goalie coach, both will get a start in the preliminary games. One plays against Russia and other against the Czechs, and then they decide who opens vs. USA.

 

[FiLe]

Honka confirmed to join the team. Won't play in the preliminaries, though.
