Patrik gave a very similar kind of interview in February when TSN did its mid-season ranking show.

7:06:



That's his way of speaking the English language right now. Lots of pauses in his speech.


They actually asked him about Matthews? :laugh:

Anyway, at least his English is better than Pulju's
 
He likely pauses because he needs some time to translate the sentences (both incoming and outgoing) in his head before saying anything.

Also, he takes pauses when he speaks Finnish also. So maybe that's just how he talks? :dunno:

People from Häme are notoriously slow talkers. Barkov is another example. Doesn't mean they are dumb, they just measure their words carefully.
 
Wow. I always just laughed at Jortikka's story and never thought there was anything strange about the interview situation until now when you forced me to think with non-Finnish eyes :laugh:

"Oh, okay, they interviewed him on his way to the sauna. Or in there. Nothing special here."
- my subconsciousness, for only a split second

Took me years to notice myself. :laugh:

So I find it disturbingly plausible that the guidance from the PR guy (if there is one) was that "Pate, America's gonna call you about quarter past two, so put your alarm on at least ten past. And fo'chrissake see that you have your bed made!"
 
The kid is 18 yo. What are the dumb IIHF rules??:help:

It's new rule. They must play with full face mask even when they turn 18. I don't know if it was even untill 20 year a some point, but now it seems to be untill the end of year they turn 18 or something.

In Finland, you barely remember those cage rules unless you follow junior series, because top prospects get to play without cage even in their 16's, because in FEL the rules are same for every one, for underagers too.

Team's enforcer found. :handclap:

In the picture of that article, it looks like he has deleted ear protection (or is it just the way has his helmet) and doesnt wear neck protector. Tough kid! :yo:
 
Laine with a dangerous one timer from the slot. Like the way he looks on the PP where he goes to find openings in space. You have to remind yourself this kid just turned 18.
 
Laine doing things on ice that Matthews cant do. Matthews was stellar. Laine and Aho both were ahead tonight.
 
I only watched from 3rd period and Laine was great. Was playing well in own zone and great in offensive. I'd even argue he was better than Matthews who had few good rushes (and that amazing kick pass in corner).
 
You could see in this game that Laine has played Lw, no idea why Jalonen tried to play him Rw.
