Goalie goal! Great call too even though I don’t understand any of it.
Some translation:
Juha Jatkola attempts to score a goal and THERE IT IS! Juha Jatkola and IT GOES IN! The goaltender makes it 5-1. Sensational play in Kuopio. The goalscorer, 21-year-old KalPa goalie Juha Jatkola.
"Aina hauskaa olla pittää" plays in Kuopio, as the goalie gets to play behind the net and puts an accurate chip to the empty HPK net and it is 5-1.
And now the crowd in Kuopio shouts enthusiastically Jatkola, Jatkola name. This will raise the feelings in Kuopio team.
KalPa has an own goal song for empty net goals. The name is roughly "Always has to be fun", sung in the Savo dialect of the Finnish language.
FinkinatorLmao Fink with 2 goals and an assist against Army today

Talk about picking up where you left off. This kid sure acts like he wants a shot at the big team next year.Molendyk back from injury. A goal last night, a goal and 2 assists tonight.
If he would be going to the AHL, i wouldnt hesitate to send him down for more seasoning tbh. I just dont think he is going to get much more out of another season in the WHL next year. Guess that is next years problem to figure out though.Talk about picking up where you left off. This kid sure acts like he wants a shot at the big team next year.
IDK, Trotz said he had to talk Bruno in to sending him back this season. Bruno wanted him up here,If he would be going to the AHL, i wouldnt hesitate to send him down for more seasoning tbh.

Who was the last player to make the jump to the NHL in their draft + 2 year? Girard?
Yes should have clarified made the jump to an NHL regular. I probably misused the draft year thing to but I meant played in the NHL within two seasons of being drafted.Fabbro came over from Boston College in D+2, got 4 games and was a regular the next year.
Girard got 5 games in his D+1 but was then shipped to Colorado and has been a regular ever since.
Evangelista got 24 games in D+2 and is a regular now in D+3
Not that Girard is bad but let's hope Molendyk can hit a gear beyond where Girard reached.Girard is definitely the best example. He was close to making the team his draft year as well, based on his IQ and skating ability.
I think Girard became pretty limited by his size. Hopefully he is bigger than Girard.Not that Girard is bad but let's hope Molendyk can hit a gear beyond where Girard reached.
