We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.
In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
He can wait until after June 2027 and then sign with a better organization.

Nobody told me there'd be days like these...
I'm sure after seeing the Doumolin trade he's already counting the days.
Waiting two years is a lot? Anyway we can trade him for McDermid the Second before.
Flu going through the team apparently and even after the line-ups were announced Lenni's winger partner Erholtz got replaced. Most things weren't really clicking today with all the different combos (and maybe some guys weren't quite at a 100% who knows), for Lenni either (in the first he did break up some plays in the middle of the ice when the other team was on the attack, and hit a post up close but yeah).

Reg. season ends on the 15th. The quarterfinal qualifiers are on the 18th, 19th, 21st, + possibly 22nd & 24th.
Trigger warning: Further immaculate vibes
So... some chances again for Lenni here and there (8 shot attempts), but the different combos they tried without Erholtz simply didn't work nearly as well during this b2b on either 5on5 or the PP. Does so much work with his energy to create space etc. which seemed to impact Järvinen even more clearly.
(And in general obviously when everything gets scrambled, now also on the defense & goaltending (hey at least the guy who's not been great in lower leagues did a solid job for you in his first Liiga game), there's a decent chance things become even more difficult vs. a good healthy team. And when you add some bad individual mistakes again you're probably gonna lose)
Thursday away against the last place team, and then on Saturday at home vs another team battling in the 5th-8th spot.
We'll see what happens I guess.

Oh, and looks like Lenni had his hardest shot of the season today with a 101,13 mph (162,76 kph) effort.
11 players (4 forwards) have had a harder shot, while the 2nd player on this stat on Ässät stands at 95,58 mph (153,83 kph).

Skating distance, avg distance per period, & top speed at least.
Lenni third in Ässät forwards on them, while tied #1 on top speed with 22,64 mph (36,43 kph).
For some Devils comparisons
Noesen - 21.04
Jack - 23.33
Nico - 22.42
Bastian - 21.62
Dowling - 21.81
Bratt - 22.68
If the bursts are being calculated similarly then the Lenni top burst looks pretty good.
First step acceleration and keeping speed while being agile are more what about effective skating is so I wouldn’t put too much emphasis on just max speed attained.

lenni's regular season has ended and assat will face HPK in the first round. wanna highlight just how steady his production was to close out the year: only three games without a point over the last two months. this is what a number of us were getting at earlier in the year when comparing last seasons hot start to this one, he's been much better with setting up plays himself/not relying on others for his own chances
Game 59:
Erholtz wasn’t back. Guy who started in his place got switched again, and things just didn’t click quite as well as usual. Some chances (Lenni with 7 shot attempts), but also got hemmed in their zone a few times during Lenni's 20:10 TOI. Got a PP-secondary for point number 50:
And unfortunately the team overall continued its poor play. Home ice still in their own hands (yay) on Saturday, and hey... the playoffs could be a totally different world?
Game 60:
Erholtz got back, but the line-up has kept being a lively one overall. So a better evening for Lenni’s line as expected, but also a much better evening overall for the team in the 4-1 win. With the looks the line and Lenni had could’ve easily gotten more than the EN-goal (Lenni with the primary on it below) at the end, but really good stuff.
Next up: playoff 1st round bo5 vs HPK (Game days: 18th, 19th, 21st, 22nd, & 24th)
Season series against the team went 2-2 with 6 GF & 7 GA. Lenni scoring 2 goals in those 4 games.
As far as U21-players go, his 51 points…
Are #3 on Ässät behind Christian Ruuttu & Arto Javanainen, so #1 in the last 40 years (#2 at 38pts)
Are tied #3 with Mikael Granlund in the last 30 years in the league, behind Ville Koivunen & Teemu Pulkkinen
+ Are #6 for all Ässät players the last 30 years
Also: Lenni had the most shot attempts by a forward in the League in the last three seasons with 293. (edit. And his 159 SOG was #2 this season)
So yeah what Lenni managed to do in his 58 reg. season games was a pretty big deal.

I think he signs an NHL contract this off-season and plays in Utica next season. As the leading goal scorer on his team, I can't imagine he has much more to learn over there.
