Laine's GF also plays hockey and they met on a hockey camp of some sorts.
How many NHL players have wifes/gfs who actually play hockey ? I've never heard of anything other than models, actresses etc.
Imagine if their relationship lasts and Laine becomes this big NHL star, their kid would have some real hockey genes
I can already imagine when im like 60 years old and my grandkids idol is the next generation Laine. Then i can say "i remember when his dad played hockey, he was pretty good, i even posted on HFBoards how he would be a star when he was 16, good times".

Well put. Aho and Pulju are these dreamy young guys all teenage girls have a crush on.
Laine makes grown men cry.
No way in hell. I was watching the games and wondering why he wasn't playing as well as last season.
YLE speculated that the other players would be Husso, Lajunen and Kuusela.

His hairline is his biggest weakness so that's gonna happen anyway.
These guys will earn enough money that it won't be an issue for them if they don't want it to be. Yearly transplants ahoy!
Laine is actually not confirmed yet to make the team. He's simply among those four Liiga finalists who are still in Jalonen's papers.
Listen here.
Though... I guess now that this much is out, it'd take a ton of guts from Jalonen to dangle him in front of us like this and then pull the candy away.

Poor Mats Sundin and Ryan Getzlaf. They must have had really stinking bad salaries then...
Very good choices from the finalists. Ramstedt was of course magnificent, but I very much doubt that he would have anyway had any chances to be the center in the 1st or 2nd line, and absolutely no use to use him in the 3rd or 4th line. Barkov and either of Granlund's brothers are most probably the centers of the two first lines, so no chance for Ramstedt there.
With Husso I could maybe think twice, as in my opinion Karhunen was even the better goalie in the most decisive games. Both were very good though, and Husso was steadier through the whole playoffs. I just happen to believe more in players that play extremely well at the right moments than players who are steady all the time, but don't pick it up a notch in the biggest games. But Husso still an acceptable choice for me anyways.
Kuusela should be at least tested, after the magnificent season that he had. And I think that there might be still more options for him to play as he is a quite speedy and experienced winger. Although I have a feeling that he will probably not fit in the final team after all.
Lajunen is really a no brainer. He is strong, fast, exprienced and a real winner. Last year's SHL champion, this year's FEL champion and 2011 world champion. He should fit perfectly in any role in the 3rd or 4th line.
Laine should be a definite lock for first two lines and power play. If Koojii will not pick him for the final team and will not give him also a big role, he is really as stiff and limitedly thinking person as I have seen him so far. I can only hope for the best...

I'm not sure but I think I saw somewhere a bit earlier that it might be on Tuesday that we get the announcement. That most likely means some time after USA game and it would only make sense.
Sounds like Finnish hockey He-man to me.

Woo!! That's awesome.
Hopefully he spends some time off the ice hanging out with Connor McDavid in between games, future linemates for the next 15 years

That's great news. And based on the merits of his play, he deserves a chance against a much higher level of competition.
I would love to see Puljujarvi-Laine centered by Barkov or Koivu. Have Rantanen there also would be a blast to see.

I'd really want Pulju as well but it seems very unlikely he'll play at the WHC.
Rantanen is in the final squad for sure.
Koivu 50% chance or something is my feeling about it. We'll know latest tomorrow if Koivu and Mikael Granlund are coming.

The result seems about the same what is was at jatkoaika.com (80-20). Tho the sample size is much bigger there.
I don't know if the tv-cameras picked KJ's face with mount open and shaking his head after Laines goal but they showed in on the mediacube. It was pure gold

Making it a slam dunk for my favourite prospect in the draft
His one timer reminds me so much of Kurri it's ridiculous.
That last goal he scored for the Championship is identical to the Gretzky to Kurri one timers we used to see when they were on 2 on 1's. Kurri driving down the left side, 99 feeding him a perfect pass for the one timer.
