He gave up the puck just so he could stunt on them

Lenni is starting his military service

Puolustusvoimat | Ässien maalipörssin johtaja valittiin Puolustusvoimien urheilukouluun

Lenni Hämeenaho ja liuta muita Padan ja Lukon pelaajia aloittaa asepalveluksensa huhtikuussa.

He'll serve in the "Sports school" branch (unit? I'm a bit unsure about the nomenclature going from Finnish to English) of the Finnish Defence Forces starting April 15th.

Most top and pro athletes serve in the "Sports School" branch, which offers more options for the athletes to train and compete in their sports whilst still serving.

Finland has compulsory military service, if you're not sure why, open a map, I myself served the full 12 months back in the day, Lenni will probably do 5.5 months, the minimum nowadays.

 

[CalamityX23]

chances he sees NHL action this year?

 

[Qurpiz]

chances he sees NHL action this year?

I'd say 0

And not necessarily because the Finnish Army forcing him to stay in a make-believe foxhole, but there might be Worlds considerations, and wanting the whole military service thing be in the rear mirror by next fall

 

[NjDevsRR]

TLDR

So tell me what’s going on with this prospect

You need a strong standing army to be vigilant against those Danes to the Southwest.

[PizzaAndPucks]

Missed seeing this guy score goal lol

 

[Cheddabombs]

I'm a simple man. I see a Lenni goal, I like the Lenni goal

 

[Devs3cups]

That release!

Our young guys’ celly games are sick lmfao

 

[BurntToast]

For a second I thought he shot that puck between the dudes legs. Still Dope.

 

[My3Sons]

Eat your heart out Seamus Casey!! Wait, I mean Lane Hutson. Yeah, it's Hutson that should rip open his rib cage and eat his own heart.

 

[Hisch13r]

His shot is so good. To think we went from basically no right handed shooters since we moved Palms (Mercer's been a good goal scorer in the past but not necessarily a "shooter") to potentially having all 3 of Holtz, Toffoli, and Lenni on the team at once in a couple years

 

[MasterofGrond]

lenni pick looking better all the time

 

[FinnishDevil]

Lane Hutson in shambles.

 

[Oneiro]

I thought his shot and hands looked terrible when we drafted him. I'm sorry Lenni.

 

[Devils731]

ChatGPT knows what’s up

Lenni scores great goals
with Speed, skill and grace on ice
Genucel awaits

 

[devilsblood]

Thats what id call a shooters goal.

Wasn't that Robert Frost or Henry David Thoreau?

 

[Gsus]

Lenni's been a bit frosty since coming back from the injury. Ässät have lost 7 games of their last 10 games. As of right now after tonight, they are on a two game winning streak starting to come out of the struggles as well as Lenni scoring second game in a row.

Hopefully he'll catch up soon up to what he looked like early in the season. 16 points in 22 games is no joke and coming back from the injury. Hopefully he'll be 100% at the World Juniors.

EDIT. 16 points in 22, not 15 in 21.

 

[gary69]

Would be great to see him pairing with Hughes for a great scoring combo for a decade.
