I think fans are going to like Suess and Veselainen a lot more.
Yeah, you are right. So in "Pär" "ä" sounds like "ä" (or "a" in "can" in English), while in "älskar" "ä" sounds like "e" as in "then".

How the ä in certain Swedish words is pronounced depends on the dialect, northerners say älskar and southeners elskar. But the ä in Pär I don’t think anyone says as e.

Postma BTW is tearing it up playing with Burmistrov for AK Bars!

Burmistrov left AK Bars months ago. He plays with Salavat Yulayev now.

Im still a bit torn up over Kulda.
Brought some physicality and puck possession in Lowry's absence I thought
Let's see how Petan does in the playoffs vs the Bruins (if he even plays). I suspect he will get demolished, and we will see if TSN wants to make anymore smug graphics.
He is not a terrible player. He will do his job consistently and even put in a good shift once in a while at PK or 5v5 but he just never created any offence. I think I remember him breaking a long goal scoring drought and the offside review took that away from him. That review needs to go.
Apple isn't a centre Par is. They'd have to play little centre Tanev and Apple Copp Perrault Roslovic.I think Par Lindholm is just "par" for the course--"nothing special, but not bad. I'd play Appleton over him. I guess that's why they call him Par -- instead of Birdie.
Or
Roslovic Copp Apple.
Par gave them another option. He can pk while Petan never did.
_____________________________________________________
I'd run these lines as follows : ( Little at Center -very good )
3rd line-Copp--Little -Tanev ( good line til Lowry comes back) --can score
4th line Perrault- Roslovic-Appleton- (Perrault should be let go after the season)
I would not play Par Linholm --"not good enough " -- IMO
Note -- this 4th line will miss us not having Lemieux or Petan -- should "not" have let Petan go IMO.

Petan had a fair chance to succeed with the Jets but there was to many younger player that were better. When Petan saw that there was no room for him on the top 6 of the Jets it was up to him to become the best defensive player he can be to force his way into the lineup. He could not do this so he didn't play. Players like Appleton, Copp and Tanev were able to do this which is why they played and Petan did not.

Petan in terms of his career path, and I know I'll get crucified for this, kinda reminds me of Cody Hodgson.

I had such high hope for Petan when the Jets drafted him. I saw him as a future 2nd C for the Jets at that time. The fact is he never quite got it on how to play hockey at the NHL level. He needed to be offensively productive and be a good defensive player if he was going to be a regular player for the Jets. His offence never materializes and his defensive play was not good enough to play 4th line minutes. Some people think the Jets never gave him a fair shot to succeed and he played with plug for most of his NHL career. By time that Petan was ready to play for the Jets there were to many young players that had already exceeded him and had the trust of the coach to play a good defense game. It was not Petan's lack of offence that hurt him from playing a regular spot on the Jets but his lack of defence that kept him out of the lineup.
I hope that Petan gets a chance to play for another team and get a decent NHL career. Don't see that happening on the Leafs.

I'm not so sure I agree with that, and I don't think he could do worse than Par Linholm, who was invisible in tonight's game. If I'm not mistaken, I believe Lindholm only won 1of 6 faceoffs, and that's not very good.
I hate to say it, but I'm not so sure Roslovic has the "smarts" or hockey IQ to be a great NHL'r -- but I hope I'm wrong. When Myers was asked in an interview--who's the most likely player to get lost --his answer --Jack Roslovic.
Also this game would have been a good game to see what he can do at center, or maybe the Tampa game. Also Perrault would be better than Par Lindholm at center IMO. I can see why Par Linholm was hardly used by the Leafs.
