Aside from a few players like Barkov and Rantanen, this is not a good Finnish team .

Sucks that Mark Stone tried to end Heiskanen just before. He’s a Top 5 D in the NHL.

 

[dinodebino]

Eichel has the skills to be a top 10 scorer...why has he never achieved that?

Maybe he will one day. It’s about the drive too.

I think the Finns are hanging on for dear life right now.

Nostril scores cutthroat is going to have to go change his pants

Cutthroat

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Good close first period, that Finnish defence is scary, not in a good way.

 

[sampollock]

For sure but I knew the Tkachuks were different.

The Ma

mahovich brothers are pretty good

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

For sure but I knew the Tkachuks were different.

There was nothing to indicate that at least from a scoring point of view at draft time. Didn't like him at all. It was a terrible draft year though.

 

[Habano]

Wayne and Keith Gretkzy

Eric and Brett Lindros

 

[dinodebino]

The Saturday game will have a totally different vibe. Skating will be twice this pace.

I can see the Swedes causing headaches to the US team also, they apply great pressure and they have a pretty stellar blue line. Plus good goalies.

 

[sampollock]

Jungle Jen knows everything

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Eric and Brett Lindros

Brett Lindros was pretty good. he had to give up very early because of concussions.

 

[sampollock]

Richard brothers

 

[Kimota]

We should have traded for Miller. And then sign Rantanen next summer.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Only saw the last few minutes of the 1st, but the pace seems a lot slower than last night's game, but more physical, too.

 

[dinodebino]

Miller was not coming to Mtl. He was Rags bound from the onset. Rantanen, tho, I wouldn’t mind!

Aho, Hintz , Lundell and Lehkonen are solid players plus Finland has only 5.4 million people so they definitely punch above their weight

Miller had a NMC and only wanted to go to NYR.

They are good players, but not of the same ilk. They do punch wayyyyyyyy above their weight. Pound for pound, they are the best TBH. I mean, it’s such a small country!
Plus they have awesome elite car drivers!

 

[Team_Spirit]

That will be $179.99 + tax

 

[dinodebino]

Haven’t checked; is the arena full? We just had the biggest snow storm of the year and it would be pretty amazing to a full barn.

 

[Leto]

I would seriously question Miller's sanity if he accepted to lift his NMC to leave one media circus to join another.

 

[JuicyHam]

Aho, Hintz , Lundell and Lehkonen are solid players plus Finland has only 5.4 million people so they definitely pinch above their weight

They have some truly great players and their forward group is filled with awesome role players. It's the defence that is really lacking especially without Heiskanen

 

[Habano]

Brett Lindros was pretty good. he had to give up very early because of concussions.

Actually he was pretty bad in juniors until his last year. In the NHL, albeit a small sample size, he was terrible

 

[MarkovsKnee]

This is hilarious:

A lot of empty seats around the glass, so it doesn't look like it. Still seems like a good crowd, though..

Man, I spent like 4 hours shoveling today. We easily got a foot-and-a-half then there were 2-3 feet snow drifts. It was brutal.

Maybe it's time for a snow blower save that back
