Kinda playing for your Chicago Blackhawks: #86, Teuvo "Turbo" Teravainen!

[Crazy_Ike]

I can't help find it amusing that someone would bash Kane for not always playing team hockey while at the same time defending Stalberg who I don't believe has ever noticed there's other people on the ice with him.

I'm not sure how this hype was able to become that big in Chicago.. Looks like he's bigger star there already, than in Finland.

 

[SLarmer28*]

Hopefully we can just unload Kane in the offseason and let TT take over. I mean, if we didn't have Patrick making all those selfish, flashy plays we probably would have won 4 cups instead of 2.

Straight from the Fiddy playbook.

Don't worry. Coach Q will play Handzus in the NHL Playoffs while Teravainen watches from the press box.

Big market team + not a lot of young prospects + 2C problem = level of hype is this.

Mckenzie tweeted we will see Teravainen tomorrow between Smith and Saad.

Will probably take Kane's spot on the PP as well.

If Teravainen's not going to play, I wonder if they let him go to the world championships.

why shouldn't he get that hype after the WJC

You got to admit this from the Trib is very over-the-top.

Good lord!
This must serve some deeper needs which have nothing to do with Teuvo

 

[chauron]

This kid still has a long way to go. The head is there but the body is not ready for high quality 2nd line game. Don't get hasty, give him time.

 

[QnebO]

I hope masses won't think he's truly 100% ready as 19 year old finnish kid (Finns tend to mature later and look young even at their 30's) and if the first game doesn't go well, start to think him as a bust.


Hope Teuvo can some how handle that.. I don't know how that kind of hype could be handled by any one though.

 

[WhiteViking]

Let`s see if he could play against Dallas, ain`t hoping too much and am wondering if two same kinda players like Kaner and Teuvo manage to hit their chemistry when Kaner comes back...both of them likes to have the puck, sometimes even too long

 

[WhiteViking]

and it takes a bowl of coffee and some pills to watch the game here in Finland. Puck drops at 03:00...it was so much easier to take a cab from Marriott and watch Hawks play in UC

 

[Bubba88]

you take that from the trib seriously? That's like some of the Chuck Norris jokes...

 

[start]

Puck drops at 03:00..

I think it's 2 am. We turn the clocks next sunday so the games starts 1 hour earlier before that. Just to let you know so you don't miss the first period .

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Yeah, that was my obvious take on it was well. They're clearly being tongue-in-cheek and poking fun at the high expectations that so many already have on the kid.

Correct. Protip.

 

[Afrodude]

I saw last night a dream, where Teukka got injured in the first period. I tend not to have realistic dreams.

 

[Oh_so_saad]

i hope he adds facebook because i will like his page

 

[TorMenT]

You got to admit this from the Trib is very over-the-top.

This reminds me of #ShawFacts when he was first making his appearances in the NHL.

 

[Savardian Spinorama]

UC staff is currently clearing room between 21 & 9 in the rafters.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

You'd think a guy with Savard in his title wouldn't omit 18.

 

[Lepardi]

The Blackhawks provided a handy guide in their announcement that the 19-year-old Finnish native was joining the team Friday: TAY-voh tair-uh-VIGH-nehn.

That's not even close, but we have to understand that it's impossible for Americans to pronounce Finnish names. If his name was pronounced "TAY-voh", it would be written "Teivou" in Finnish.
