Jokerit back to Liiga + finnish KHL players

[JabbaJabba]

If Lukko gets a lick, SaiPa should too.

Why? Lukko has actually achieved something and they are competitive year after year. Also the rivalry between Lukko and Ässät is one of the best in Liiga. Saipa doesn't bring much in comparison.

 

[Liga]

Replace Jukurit and Sport with Lukko and HPK.

The league doesn't well.

 

[Liga]

The national team is doing well.

 

[JabbaJabba]

The league doesn't well.

I think you are missing a verb.

Jokeripomoilta vahva kanta – Teemu Pulkkista ei nähdä Jokereissa

Teemu Pulkkisen kohtalo on puhuttanut viime aikoina pelurin jäätyä työttömäksi KHL-vuosien jälkeen. Jokeripomojen mukaan paluu narripaitaan ei näytä todennäköiseltä.

Why couldn't he get out of his contract? Seems a bit odd that he stayed.. Maybe the Hungarian League is for him

He could but chose to stay. And then signed with another team (Kunlun).

Or both.

Not sure if they are mocking Suhonen or Pori. Haven´t seen those. Hilarious

Jokerit in domestic hockey league again?

 

[Jussi]

Valtteri Filppula returning to Jokerit.

 

[JabbaJabba]

Valtteri Filppula returning to Jokerit.

Couldn't have guessed beforehand that a Mestis team makes the biggest signing of the summer out of the Finnish teams.

 

[mattihp]

Is it confirmed, though?

 

[Jussi]

Is it confirmed, though?

Tomorrow it will be, presser at 12.00, begins at 11.51.

 

[Albatros]

Will be paid in shares rather than money, meaning that his financial return depends on Liiga promotion.

His Finnish has suffered a bit from being abroad, sounds a lot like me speaking Finnish, not wrong in any way.. But a bit meager.

Guy could probably still play on a fourth line in the NHL or dominate the AHL. In Mestis I expect him to be top-5 in scoring.

He was awful back in Detroit, and that was several years ago. Luckily Mestis is not the NHL so that losing three steps shouldn't matter much.

With the eye test he didn't look much worse than on the Islanders where he was a pleasant surprise. Most everyone on the wings were awful.

 

[Albatros]

Still the Detroit Free Press chose him as one of the three most disappointing players even out of that lousy team. No one else in the league had been below -40 while scoring less than 25 points since 1994. Other than money-wise it would have been better for him to go to Europe already in 2019.

Are there any other legacies than Lind jr on the team?

Jimi Jalonen's father coached the team in the KHL. Santeri Haakana's played in SM-Liiga and coached junior teams. Emil Kuusla's played for Jokerit in juniors together with Selänne & co.

Kari Haakana even got a short taste of the NHL somehow
