Nice hair

Your faether would be proud

Rueschoff might be one of the worst imports ever. His skills with the puck makes Anttila look like Lemieux. Will be gone after 15 games.

Besides illegal streaming, is there any way to watch the Liiga in the U.S?

Besides illegal streaming, is there any way to watch the Liiga in the U.S?

The Wikipedia page for the upcoming season says the following:

The broadcasts are produced by MTV and during the season games can be seen live from C More, Discovery+, DNA, Elisa Viihde, MTV and Telia.

Of those ones, at least Discovery+ should be a service that's available in the US, I take it? Maybe that's your best bet. But I've no idea if there are country-based restrictions in their sports broadcasts as well.

Pretty sure Discovery+ was absorbed by hbo and is under the Max brand.

Even so, I believe it might be region-locked. Wish there was a way to watch that league somehow.. guess illegal streaming it (unfortunately) is for now

Oh yea, I guess that's why I was able to watch the Olympics via Max

Mylläri and Brodecki to HPK

 

[mattihp]

Rueschoff has looked atrocious. Looks even slower than in the AHL.

 

[Eye of Ra]

Simon Johansson to Ilves
Joni Ortio to Ässät

 

[mattihp]

Hopefully Rueschoff is tried in another role in friday's game. Because right now he is hurting Kärpät big time. Not a cheap contract either as he was an AHL regular somehow.

 

[mattihp]

Rueschoff seemed to gel with the third line. Scored the go ahead goal in a high scoring game. Maybe his skills are deceptive? It looks like he is an athlete of another sport giving hockey a try.

Interesting. Can't skate anymore, but decently smart. Good passer. Shot isn't that amazing but he picks his spots well.

They'd do alright. They can cycle the puck pretty well and work down other team's first line. Scoring would be an issue, though. Stenqvist is the best of the bunch IMO.

Marcus Björk to Kärpät
Carl Klingberg to Ilves

 

[mattihp]

The HIFK line is still producing. Crazy. Lehterä is in the best form of his life and Pakarinen is scoring even when he isn't shooting.

Simon Johansson to Ilves
Joni Ortio to Ässät

New franchise Espoo is doing well. Top 6 in the table recently.
