Confirmed with Link: Hannikainen called up

[JKinCLE]

I'd be interested to see what he can do if inserted in the lineup. But wonder why he was called up now? He's doing very well, but still adjusting to North American hockey

Hmmmm. Interesting.

 

[DJA]

Probably in case Cam can't go.

 

[Tulipunaruusu*]

So it begins. The greatest story of our time.

 

[WannabeFinn]

I'm excited for Markus

 

[ndd17]

Atkinson injury? Emergency for b2b games? Thin roster(only 21 players)?Good play for LEM? Anything else?

 

[CBJSlash]

Probably means Johansen has been traded.

 

[blahblah]

Let's see if he gets in the lineup. Interested to see him obviously.

 

[Johansen2Foligno]

Probably means Johansen has been traded.

To the Monsters

 

[TaketheCannoli]

What's his status? Was he injured or benched vs. St. Louis?

 

[Fro]

he's on IR for 2 months with a shoulder injury

 

[Socks]

Man that sucks. What a way for your debut to go.

 

[WannabeFinn]

Does he still get paid NHL salary while on IR? Could be a nice silver lining for him

'With a victory into the night' turned into with an injury into to the night.

 

[Kev22]

So when he gets off IR, I guess he needs to get in the weight room and bulk up so he's not so fragile. Guess he wasn't "ready." Too bad.

Yes. A team cannot send a player to the minors if he's injured. NHL salary for a couple months.

 

[CBJx614]

Wonder if he'll get to work out with the team still? I'm not to familiar with physical therapy and what not, but does that mean he'll rehab with the Jackets? Probably x10000 better than Lake Erie.

He will be at Cleveland where his home and girlfriend are.

"No point sitting alone in the hotel room. Here we got also people who know what they are doing and you get top treatment"". On Fridays he will show it to a doctor in Columbus.

Hännikäinen also says that never has he been so disappointed and frustrated in anything hockey related but the feeling has already passed him.

His goal is to work harder (more) than anyone else in the team. Since day one importance of dedication has been focused to them by the organization.
