That second goal was beautiful. He made a great move around the defender, took it to the net with power, waited for the goalie to bite, and buried it with a sweet backhand finish.

Bring him over after the WJC, I need Lenni
Czech’s tie it with 1:56 left. WJC hockey is the best hockey. Time for a Lenni golden goal hatty
Or not Czech’s score 15 seconds later

I can’t watch the game.
I check the score: “huh, close game.”
Later: “Lenni scores two goals and will get a medal? Awesome!”

Sigh... such a shame for the end.
Next game on Wednesday, and his old center Järvinen should be back from his injury.

Finns went up 2-0.
Czech’s tie it 2-2. Then it’s 4-2 Finns. Czech’s 2nd goal and 3/4 Finnish goals happen in 34 seconds.
Lenni scores sick goal to make it 5-2.
Czech’s score a shorty that was super duper close to being offside late in the 2nd to make it 5-3
Czech’s make it 5-5 with their goalie pulled with 1:56 left
Czech’s score their FIRST AND ONLY 5v5 goal of the game to make it 6-5 with 1:41 left
Czech’s score 2 ENGs to make it 8-5
There is nothing like WJC hockey. It’s just the best

Its a shame Utica svcks, he could join them for play off. I dont think Devils will try him in play off before one season in AHL.

He needs a full AHL year after this year anyway. No reason to rush his development, especially when his skating needs improvement.

despite the devastating end, real happy with lenni's tournament, in particular how his game kept finding another gear. thought he started a little slow, as his team did. individual compete level, obviously, was still strong, but it felt like he struggled to find/open up space and wasnt generating as much as he should on the puck, not to mention he and helenius (an outstanding prospect in his own right) didnt seem to click as well as we might have initially expected they would. felt like he was missing that extra little pop to his game. boy did he find it, though. last couple games were classic lenni. real impressive effort when the games truly mattered. lots of dangerous scoring chances both around the net and off the one timer, great playmaking flashes, a monster on the forecheck. no shortage of compliments i can dish. his handling, mobility, and combination of both at speed have been great developments, with room to still improve. so much great progress all the way back from his summer tournament into and through his liiga season continues to carry over, including being a more versatile/dangerous from futher out scoring threat. yet another exciting stretch of hockey for our boy. hard to look at 6pts in 7gp and complain, but it does feel like his impact surpassed what the stats say. thanks to juzmo and others for the (continued) great lenni coverage

Damn talk about falling apart. Well, he may as well get used to giving up a ton of goals now 
It will be interesting to see when the Devils bring him over. He always seemed to be one of his teams best players.

So the same hacks that assasinated Mukhamadullin think Lenni is fast? I’m not sure how to respond to that.

With all the injuries at forward maybe they can fly him over in time for tonight’s game?

Gets back with Järvinen and Erholtz finally today.
(Just as this struggling team's top scorer, defenseman Lefebrve, got injured for 4-6 weeks, and some forwards got ill. So it's time to shine for Heimosalmi and the wild-looking new lines)

0-1 OT loss... welcome back Lenni 
Created some chances for others and himself, and had a partial breakaway but couldn't handle the bouncing puck. With Järvinen coming back after 2 months have to hope things will get going better for that line as we go along a bit.
edit. Got eased into it a bit (15:08 ice time). Better 1st than the 2nd and 3rd.
(0:27)
Ps. Team now with the least GF and GA on average, and hanging on to the top-10 spot for dear life... what having zero finish, solid defense, and the best goalie in the league does to a mf.

"Lenni Hämeenaho's (NJD) profile is right about what you'd expect from him."
I dunno if I really expected his profile to be that good offensively. Offensive driver?
Not that I'm complaining.
He’s obviously ahead of thr garden variety second round pick. He has plenty of time to work on his weaker skills. Very excited to follow his development
I wonder how the team will proceed in terms of development.
Is he signed another year to stay in Liiga?
I imagine he get's a full year in Utica when he does come over.
I'd think pushing back the contract clock as far as possible while letting him cook is the in the teams best interests. Even if he looks ahead of the cure.
Does Bratt and his skating crew let in Finn's or just Swede's?
You figure NJ will let him stay in Finland at least one more year. They have Bratt and Meier signed long term and they are still developing Holtz and they still have Mercer and Palat and Gritsyuk is older and likely arrives first. My guess is Lenni would rather play in Finland than Utica?
